My ol man is AWSOME
My dad gave me his 69 charger R/T SE tonight. Numbers matching engine, non numbers tranny, but a complete car. Neets a resto, but all there. An origional Gold car, black top, black leather interior. I was driving to Pool league, and dad called me with a tranny question. After I answered his question, he asked what I was up to. I told him, now that my Demon is done, I wanted a new project, told him I was lookin at a 70 440 6 pack bee. He told me to hang on to my 11k, as he is gonna give me the charger. I figured some day ill inherit it. No he meant, as soon as I go pick it up. He has a lot of projects in the works, and cant finish this one so he asked me to. I am headin to Wyoming to get the car thanksgiving day. Going to bring it home and get the car restored to its glory. This car was an 8 second real street car from the west coast. Had a 588 barton engine in it for while, and we never got it completed as there was a rumor that the strip in Wyoming was going under, so we made a decision to restore the car to its street form. I cut the cage out of it, sold the race parts, and ordered inner fenders, and started the work on the car. I needed the space in our shop, so Dad took it back to Wyoming, and he hasent touched it in a year. Well, Now I get the project. There is no rust on the car, the floor pans, quarters, and frame rails are california fresh.
I have the numbers 440 for the car, and I have a date coded 727 for it, and it has a strange 60. Im gonna put the cal tracks on my demon, and put super stock springs back in the charger. Ill sell the rest of the race parts, and buy fenders, from AMD.
I was so excited and floored, I was in tears, so excited I had to pull over. I wanted to build a car that is going to be worth the time, and i couldnt ask for a better car than this charger.
:-D:-D
Love ya DAD!!
