I'm not that into them myself but glad there's people persevering them, any non top tier muscle-cars is fair game for modding to me.
How do you like your Mopar, stock, pro street, restomod, etc.?

Stock appearing inside and out with the best factory suspension, 4 speed, 8 3/4 rear, and an engine built to "Stock Class" specs with a custom solid flat tappet cam running through factory manifolds and exhaust. Kelsey-Hayes disc brakes. Tires need to be V rated or higher and have a wear rating of 300 or less. I have zero interest in pro street, restomod, or tube chassis. I like to drive my cars and enjoy them.

Mostly stock looking. Closer to stock for anything really rare. I like using factory parts that may not have been available on that particular year or model. Not very interested in aftermarket bling.

Painted with rattle cans?
I like Vixen just the way she's turned out so far. We can jump in and drive her anywhere.
I like the performance upgraded street/strip efforts. No more than a mini tubed setup. And under the hood performance builds. Maybe some classic scoop options. Like that of the SS scoop on A-bodies. Like that of my Duster. But my '69 GTX? wouldn't dream of cutting a whole in that classic air grabber hood. If one needs a 1/4 mi ET goal? No more than 9.90. Anything more? Danger on the street goes up exponentially. Let alone the additional strip racing and licensing requirements.

Is the GTX acrylic enamel? I really love the way it doesn't shine "too much". Beautiful car.
I'm unsure. The car was made from 2 GTX and at least one sports satellite parts that I can figure. Thus not close to numbers matching. But is period correct. Who did this was 25+ years ago. And passed away years ago. Car sat 15+ years in a Chevy lover's pull barn. He attempted to sell me a '71 Nova for near same price. My answer was consistent. "Just the facts on the Plymouth sir." I drove the car home 250 mi. Ran like a champ. (Poor chase truck trying to keep up. Lol) That was 4 years ago of this "Just another Plymouth tale."

Current builder. 64 Savoy slant car that screams to me, build it like the 64 Savoy you built 30 years ago. A Super Stock "sorta: clone-ish Mopar. B body guys will say "YAWN!" another SS clone.
It is getting a 383 4 speed, A100 style seats from SmittyBilt (check it out) a 67 B rear end, NO back seat. I guess the lack of back seat makes it a SS clone!? LOL

I've had the "stock" can't change anything numbers car. Fact is they pretty much suck to drive in todays traffic. My current Barracuda has a built 340, tubular suspension , disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors, and it runs and drives better than "stock". I also think I nailed the "Look"

as long as they are tastefully done and don't look to have every pep boys stick on done to it i can like it..
me personally, how i like them.. kinda a day 2, pro toruing "lite" look.. i prefer the body without any major mods, 15-18" wheels, suspension set up to handle much better then the 70's. could be improved stock stuff or an all out alter-k-tion. the interior i like basically stockish but want comfortable seats as long as i can match the rear to the front or vise versa.. as for the driveline i like more mild but a little pep.. prefer it to run on 87 octane, love to have OD but gear venders is about the only choice unless i want to cut and i usually don't want to do that (i guess it depends what i'm starting with too) and gears no more then a 3.23. i want to be able to take it on long drives/vacations.. its all about drivability for me.
things sure have changed. when i was young it was give me all the power i can get and who cars how it does anything but go in a straight line.. now that i'm older i want to take them on long road trips and enjoy the trip.
