Just found the site as I've been hanging around Moparfins for a while. Just staking my ground here and hope to become a regular here too.
Congrats on the site looks asome.
As for the car;
This is my wife's grandfathers car. When she was five after having her tonsils removed she started to hemorage. This car hauled her to the hospital across Bismarck ND with the speedo burried. To have head her Grandma tell the story was a real hoot. There are stories from a third party (the driver of the charger) that this car drafted a 69 charger to about 150... If that true or not I don't know, I wasn't there way back when.
We have all the records back to when the car came into the family at a year old. So while we're bringing her back to life, it's not going to be a restore to stock as we both believe the old man wouldn't have wanted it that way, he was a rodder at heart and a mechanic by trade.
Anyway here's some shots of thecar dubbed "The Sheriff" by c-barge at moparfins. How did it get that name? The story goes the old man owned a gas station in ND he was friends or knew a local sheriff that bought this car new. The story says that this sheriff ordered the car to match what was being used in his county as his personal car. There are unexplained wires that run from the front to the rear inside the interior. Here dad says the sheriff had two way radio equipemnt in the car when her Grandad bought it. What is and what it was will never truely be know ans we lost her grandad near 15 years ago so the first hand knowledge is gone.
Pictures get posted up in my gallery as I work on the car.
