    3700 GT on CL (not mine)

    Not mine, I don't know the seller - in fact, I've never seen one of these or even heard of one before, but a quick Google search shows it to be a Spanish version of a Dart, so I thought I'd post it here to see if anyone knows more about these cars: *VERY RARE* Spanish Dodge 3700 GT - cars &...

    So....What is YOUR opinion on VIN swaps ?

    There are exceptions for certain circumstances, but it looks like knowingly altering a VIN, possessing a vehicle with an altered VIN, and even buying/selling a vehicle without a title is criminal here in Virginia - here are a few links for reference: § 46.2-1074. Removing or altering serial or...

    to sell or keep

    My '72 was my daily driver for a year about 15 years ago. It's lived in my garage since then - marriage, kids, jobs, etc. have made it a back-burner project for a long time. Yesterday I took the dead battery to the parts store, bought a new one, stuck it in and said "I know I shouldn't even...

    Mopar Heads ~ 'The Best Chevy Street Performer You Ever Owned'

    I had an '87 Chevy Celebrity that was a hand-me-down from my parents - first, last, and only Chevy I ever owned. It had the 2.5L four banger, lost the cam gear cruising the interstate at about 70mph, completely trashed the engine internally when that happened (bent valves, pushrods, hole in a...

    Who else have problem with whitepunkonnitro?

    I've bought two things from Tony, one was exactly as described, the other was in better condition than I expected. Judging by what I've read here it's all being handled, even if feathers got ruffled in the process.

    Grave yard cars-Flabber gasted

    Yeah, I like that they emphasize safety & reliability first, and at the end of each project they tell you how much time & money went into it.

    who is into "later" cars

    I picked up a '73 Swinger parts car - the main body shell is horrible with rust through, but the front clip isn't bad at all. Ever since I got it the beak is growing on me...I keep debating trying to use the front fenders on my '72 (yeah, I know they won't fit as-is) just for the longer...

    Married guys - car budgets and honesty

    My wife & I both work, and we each have our own checking & savings, but they're all joint accounts. We're both responsible with money and she's supportive of my car hobby, and I've been willing to put restoring my '72 on the back burner for other priorities...like paying off the Hemi Challenger...

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    Finally got around to pulling the front valance, bumper, and grill off my Swinger. The bad news is that pretty much everything is in worse shape (dents, cracks, etc.) than I thought it was, and one of the body screws broke off and I'll have to drill it out. The good news is the rust isn't too...

    Y'all going to be in Chesapeake this coming Saturday? Where/when? My Dart's not roadworthy, but it sounds like a good excuse to visit my parents and meet people.

    Shipping a Bumper

    Check with the shipping service about their rules and extra charges. I used to work for UPS part-time, my job was checking for anything with exposed metal, and packages that were oversize, overweight, or underweight. That was around 20 years ago, so I don't know what the rules are now. FWIW...

    POLL: Pretty vs Functional

    The first car I bought myself was a mistake - it looked good, but it was in terrible shape in reality, but I learned a lot from the experience. The prior owner did things like put on aluminum rims and new wheels, but they didn't fit properly and ended up causing warped brake drums (which ruined...
