My desire for a new Mustang is gone with this model. Not only did they mess up the looks but the IRS is a deal breaker. That solid rear axle in a car capable of high 12's at 110mph for just over $30,000 WITHOUT breaking the differential like a Challenger of Camaro will running much slower times...

That is the way it was back then. Very few could afford to buy all 4 wheels to match at the same time. Just make sure front tires are on the skinny side and chrome lug nuts on the steelies. ONLY thing cooler than spoked mags front/steelies rear was the early to mid 70's when Cragar Su[er Tricks...

That crossed my mind...but then I would know!

Looking for new. The polished ones look OK and I may end up with them but anyone who knows MoPars or was around back in the day knows they are not correct.

Is there a source for the correct brushed finish 14x 5 1/2" trim ring? I have been looking a LONG time. Seems to me there should be if only due to sheer numbers, since most of the cars had 14" wheels. I know everyone likes 15's and put them on when they can, but the reality is, I would say...

Hello, does anyone know a source for the most correct looking trim ring for a '70 Swinger, 14"x5.5" rallye wheel? Also, I know the 15"x7"s wore a polished ring in '70, brushed finish in '71. Was it this way for the 14''s as well? Can't really remember seeing any 14" with polished rings, the ones...

No, Mopars were not always more expensive than bow-ties/blue ovals, just the opposite. Look at base prices of Road Runners, Super Bees, Duster and Dart 340s from back in the day. They were the cheapest! A BIG reason they were popular. They gave the most performance per dollar spent, just as the...

I vote for the Mustang as being better looking and far more true to the original. In the Challenger you can clearly see the German influence. Those goofy big wheels turn me off, the interior as well. And:::the gas cap is on the WRONG side, any seasoned Petroleum Transfer Engineer will attest to...

Ancient bias ply 5.60x15 like all the old VW's. Don't think anybody makes a 14" front runner. Doubt if it would be any shorter/narrower even if they did.

Music from roughly '65-'72 give or take, which pretty much defined the musclecar era. Really like to hear the protest songs. Not saying that I agree with their words or message (listening to AM radio way back then you couldn't understand all the words anyway!), it just reminds me of that era...

I have a set of 235/60/14's on the 5 1/2" ralley and they are wearing fine.

I don't street drive my car anymore, but have run them (Centerline 15x3 1/2" with 600x15's) for many thousands of miles in the past. No problems at all as long as you watch out for potholes. As far as handling goes they work fine as long as you obey the speed limit. One look at the car with them...

I have found the 2bbl has always given the best mileage and it removes any temptation to open it up. You can still open it up, but when you don't get the pleasure out of hearing those back barrels open up, you just say to yourself "whats the use?" and then you just quit doing it. I have gotten...

Very true, but go back and read my post again about the 340 intakes on 318 ports. Bottom line is while agreed there will be an impediment to flow, it will "work" forever, it won't hurt anything and the car will likely go quicker for less money. I sold my original Ram 4bbl intake/thermoquad to a...

All good advise thus far, just thought I would chime in on the port mis-match. Way, way back when, 30 plus years ago, I read all the Mopar factory books (Hustle Stuff/Direct Connection) and thought what they said was gospel. They always said do not use 340 manifold on a 273/318 under any...

Forgot one:::Winter '84, a '64 Super Stock Hemi Belvedere, at the time running 11.9 with a 440. Clean, original paint, uncut, $3,500. Absolutely knew it was a mistake not to find a way to buy it, but had been laid off from my job for almost a year and already had 4 vehicles. Always knew the car...

Winter of '82, a FLAWLESS SS/A '68 Hurst Hemi Dart, a 9.50 ride way back then, $20,000 and it included a complete carbs to pan spare engine. At that time that amount represented just about every penny I would have had to my name after liquidating all of my assets. Still know where the car is...

Gold Duster was a trim option up from the base Duster. You got vinyl seats, carpeting, wheel covers, whitewalls, canopy vinyl roof and side tape stripe.

Yes, just like original. I have the Wheel Vintiques and also some 37 year old originals. They look the same, back spacing is also the same. They have a nice silver finish all over where as originals were painted black first, then just the front side painted silver. I am sure many high profile...

I got some, they are OK. There is no Chysler part number or pentastar on them so an expert will always be able to tell they are repros, but otherwise visually they are faithful to original, plus you don't have to sandblast and paint them.

Not saying I would do this myself but I remember back in the day (late 70's) a certain Dart Sport running a b-body Dana just bolted in as is. I would not have noticed it untill he told me, but when viewed from the rear you could see the springs cocked to meet the unmodified spring perches. Ran...

Memory is fading with age, but I think? it was something like 12 pink '70 Dusters.
