Here's what I'm working on.  My dad bought the car new and it has never left the family.  It's a 73 Rallye 318/904 car.  It's painted a somewhat rare color,(JA5) dark silver metalic.  It's going back stock except for dual exhaust, factory dual exhaust valence and chrome tips.

I removed my last post since it was pretty much worthless. Here's a post with all 3 of my Mopar muscle cars.

'69 Charger. My first car technically. My dad's friend found it sitting in a field under a tarp (about 3/4 of it was) partially stripped in Richmond B.C. It was in pretty bad shape. He recognized it by the flip top gas cap. We went and looked at it and ended up buying it for $400. This was late 1998 (November I think). My dad gave it to me for Christmas. I was 6 at the time. I've now had it for 10 years, 11 on December 25th. It was originally a 318 auto car. T5 Copper with black interior. Cool thing is it came with the rare C5X (Vinyl with cloth insert) seat option. Also has a C21 buddy seat. Basic column shift car. When we found it, somebody painted a 01 and a X on the roof with black spray paint. Somebody keyed the car and threw the front bumper through the windshield (hence it missing). That dented the dash and pad pretty badly but my dad did an amazing job fixing it. You can never tell it was dented. The last owner took the grille, drivers door and some of the interior stuff for his car. The funny thing is, I realized the drivers door I have on it now came from HIS car. He ended up finding a bunch of parts in his garage including the originally seats, that door, the original passenger fender and some small interior parts. He still has a bunch of interior stuff for it I need to go buy from him soon. Anyways, we put a 383 & 727 auto in it from a '68 Newport we parted out. Has a lot of rust issues but I'm not giving up hope on it. It's my dream car and I can't wait for it to be finished. First picture is it now and second picture is a photoshop of it done.



Second up is my '70 Coronet 500. In December 2008, I was talking to a friend of mine Paul. He had 2 '70 Coronets in his private junkyard that he parted out. One was a smashed up Burnt Orange 440 model and the other was this F8 500 model. Both were 318 autos. He crushed the Burnt Orange one back in May 2007 because all the usuable parts were taken off. Everything else was smashed. That but the driver of the car when it was crashed didn't survive. The driver died in the car. Anyways, I've always wanted this Coronet but I didn't have the cash to buy it ($400). So I tried numerous times to help my friend buy it (I was the middle man). He kept changing his mind and ended up not getting it. So there it sat. I was talking to him in December 2008 like I mentioned and I jokingly said "So, you ready to give me that Coronet yet?" and he said "Well actually, I'm going to be thinning out my collection so if you list some cars for me online and a couple sell, you can have it". I was shocked. I didn't think he's say yes. Anyways, I've sold a few cars for him now so I'm waiting until I can get the money to drive 12 hours to pick it up. I get a whole crap load of parts with it which I'm excited to get. First picture is it now and second picture is a photoshop of it done.



Last but not least is my '73 Duster. It's a 318 auto. Was originally Y6 Gold with parchment interior and a full black vinyl top. Now it's dark blue with parchment interior and no vinyl top. My dad called me in October 2008 and said he found a Duster in Delta but wasn't sure what year it was. We talked taillights for a while and then I figured out it was a '73-'76. I went over and checked it out on November 8, 2008 and discovered it was a '73. It didn't have much rust, just a bit on the front floor pans and the lower quarters. Overall, it was a solid car. Anyways, after months of anticipation and nervousness, we finally bought it on Feburary 21, 2009 for a total of $650. We got it for a steal! The owner's dad came out and said good luck getting it running. We had it running within a few minutes in the guy's driveway. It was really cool. We got it towed to my grandparent's house in New Westminster. I cleaned it up and gave it a bath that day. I also pulled the old carpet out because it had five pounds of water sitting on it. I'm guessing the owner left the windows open by accident sometime because the window only leaks sometimes (barely) and it's not enough to make a huge puddle like that was. I also ripped out the moldy saggy headliner. My grandpa did some body work on it and patched the front floor pans. The biggest ***** about the car was the starter was hooped. Of course our luck, it has headers. So we finally managed to get the starter out on a cold rainy day. We took it in and got it rebuilt and replaced the starter relay. We also replaced 2 burnt plug wires, the cap and rotor and it finally ran good. I finally got to drive it in June 2009 and it ran like a bat outta hell. It was awesome. It was also my first time driving a muscle car, let alone my own. I did some work to it such as installing the missing front fender trim, fixing the oil leak and a few other small things. My grandpa painted the front fender with spray paint for now along with the sail panels and lower quarters where he did the body work. I took it to a Mopar show in July and managed to win 1st place in the Young Guns class with it. Unfortentley, right now it's giving me electrical issues so I plan on replacing all the wiring this winter. I also have 4 15X7 Rallyes I cleaned up that I'll be putting on it along with new tires. I'm also getting the front seat redone and putting in new carpet and a headliner. I'm painting the dash black, getting a new pad and installing a Tuff wheel I got from free from a friend of dodgecharger.com (Jackie is sending me a horn pad). I'm also installing hood pins because I think they are just plain awesome. I bought another front bumper that has better chrome, a spare hood, grille and front valance. I found out the guy I bought it from, his grandpa bought it brand new from Johnston Motors in Vancouver. So it was in the same family from 1973-2009 until I bought it. I plan on getting it painted gloss black with white 340 stripes. First picture is when it got towed to my grandparents, second is it at the Mopar show and third is the car I want it to look like (with the exception of '71 dark argent center caps).

Hi Guys,
THIS IS THE LATEST PHOTO OF MY 72 CUDA 340 WITH 727 TRANS.
I bought her a year ago from Ireland uk. She was owned by the president of the Irish Muscle Car Club.
I did a deal with him for my rebuilt 66 v8 mustang,and put her on the ship back to England where i live.
Quite a lot of work has been done in the last year to get the car into show condition,which i have carried out by myself.
She is a numbers matching car so i have not gone with the restomod route and am keeping it fairly stock.
The jobs carried out include removing the original J code heads and doing a valve job as the 340 had a misfire,this was due to
having 2 slightly bent valves which were not sealing. Other jobs include suspension ,brakes and a new upgrade electronic ignition system which looks stock.  The car now benefits from an AAR style strobe stripe,front corner spoilers and rear go-wing.
I have also added a matching chrome mirror to the passenger side of the car for uk overtaking safety!
One job on the interior i still have to do is to fit new sail panels,as the old ones are breaking up with age,i already have the parts for that job,so the interior will soon be show standard too!  The rally dash clock was stripped out and refurbed also as it
was not working.
This car gets a lot of attention at the uk car shows,as there are only a few Cudas here and its rare to see one for real!!!
