Your first mopar...?
First was a '69 Fury III more-door that was a graduation present. In tech school I rebuilt & warmed over the 318/727, 3k stall converter & added 3.91's - ran a handful of street trophy classes at the local strip - ran a best of 15.3 (not bad for a 4,000 lb. yacht). A couple years later it met its demise as the meat of a 3-car sandwich.
After that happened, I found my first Fish... '67 Notch /6 for $750 that seized up on me like the 3rd time I drove it... and on the same highway where the Fury got crunched :BangHead:
I had pulled the 318/727 from the Fury before it was scrapped & transplanted them into the Barracuda, along with Kelsey-Hayes front discs. That's as far as I got with the car & then life got in the way, and it sat. Ended up selling it around '97 for WAY less than I should've. Always wonder if that '67 is still out there - from what I remember, the guys I sold it to had plans on tubbing it & making a drag car. Don't have many photos of either of them.
Mopar toy life fell dormant until I bought my '69 nearly 6 years ago.
