    Thinking of moving to Florida in the next year

    We recently moved to Florida from north Georgia. My thoughts: I loved north Georgia. We lived in Rome. Not stupid cold and not stupid hot. Cost of living was excellent. People were great for the most part. Had a great home with almost an acre in a subdivision in the woods. Been in Fort...

    Hello from north Florida! Looking for more Mopar buddies in the sunshine state!

    I think they call from Pamama City Beach to Pensacola Beach the Emerald Coast because the water is a greenish color and the sand is white. Many folks call it the "Redneck Rivera". :D Thank you for your service! I was stationed at Biloxi in the Air Force many years ago. Now I'm working at...

    My 273 turned out to be a 318...what did I buy?

    This! Initially when swapping to a Magnum I ran an electric fuel pump. After having one quit on me I bought the cam snout extension and went back to a mechanical pump. Another reason was to get rid of the pump noise...my Autistic grandson wouldn't ride in it because of the noise. I never...

    Pic with headers and a 5.9 Magnum. I switched to Taylor wires since but I'm not near the car to get a current pic.

    My 273 turned out to be a 318...what did I buy?

    Thanks for the ad. I have a 1974 dodge colt promod, with a 440

    @Empty Hand I just moved to the area. We were looking to buy in Crestview but I'm working on Hurlburt Field and saw all the traffic to/from Crestview. So, we're looking in Navarre now. I noticed the closest dragstrip is a ways away. We didn't bring our Barracuda down yet, waiting on...
