yea - the box was 19lbs. - the one thing you have to be careful shipping is the shifter - it would take much to crush and destroy it - it's worth it to pay a little extra to ship it in a bigger (safer) box

Hopefully it'll ride in a suitcase.

this is why I feel like I should keep it all and try to find a car to build - a running 318,727, 8.75 Dart or Scamp will easily get me 5k.. what's that thing about forgiveness instead of permission.. :D

Scampy got the dizzie apart it was definitely done at some time since it is painted silver all over and also the inside. the # is 2875032 I think it is a 72 but it might also be a 62 poly, I cant find the number in my book at all and online there seems to be the same thing, Basically not worth much maybe 75 rebuilt. Does have a pretty good mechanical advance around 45 or so did not check the vac side yet.

I am sure it's not out of a poly. Yea, I knew it was in decent shape - that's why I was careful about shipping it, didn't want it to get banged around and broken
 
Just a weird number, I would go 72 if I had to make a real decision on it. Freaking rebuilds they toss the tags.
 
Could be all I can really call it is a pre 75 for sure, Nice thing with the machine I can plot the advance.

Honestly, I kind of hinted at the polara yesterday and my wife didn't balk at the idea.... must be a woman thing
 
Went to see my only child, Hannah graduate from Stephens collage. Woo Hoo! Decided to make a vacation out of it and take our fifthwheel trailer and take our time coming back. Hauled *** getting there, got there in three days, with family. Not easy. Took our time and spent several days in flagstaff AZ coming back. Somme BIG hills we went over and truck never went under 60mph. no kidding.
 
Over the IKE Guantlet. 11200 ft pass at 7 percent. The highest steepest mountain pass in the country. AND the highest vehicle tunnel in the world. 60 mph up the steep pass! flew by everyone, had to embarrass the guy driving a red 2016 or so GMC 3500 Denali!

Hey. I know we all love Mopars, BUT, My new Ford f350 pulled my 18k fifthwheel trailer to colmubia and back like a freakin Tank! Dang they built a great truck! AND averaged over 10 mpg for the trip.

It was not all about the MPG, it was how it pulled it. Had no problem keeping 70, 75 MPH on way home, that is the speed limit where I was. The Damn EPA has hobbled the MPG on diesel trucks with all the smog crap. If a person deletes the crap they get over 20 MPG. BUT illegal to do so. Got up to 85 MPH at one point getting out of trouble with some dick head semi drivers. Just pushed the loud peddle to the floor and good by truckers!
