not pretty as its in gray primer, but anything that survives the from 60's in this country is rare lol

 

She's a sweet looking old gal.

 

as i say not bad considering im only 1 year older then her.

as the interior is green with green tinted windows, im gonna paint her green with a satin black bonnet.

this is when i get the chance lol

 

Trim and odd parts are extremely hard to find if you don't know where to look. Pick up a copy Hemmings Motor News.http://www.hemmings.com/

 

cool, this is the info i need.

gotta go anyway boss is around lol.

thanks again

 

I had a 67 charger with that same motor. Fun car until my ex drove it in front of a 67 Mustang. Totaled them both in one swell foop. I pulled the motor and put in my Dodge Power Wagon. That ended up being a powerful wagon.

 

ouch.

it runs a stock 2 barrel carb at the moment.
but after ive sorted the body out i wanna fit a 4 barrel and intake to match, was thinking of a edelbrock performer inlet and maybe a edelbrock/holley carb. what cfm would you recommend. im not after ***** out power just a bit more

Moved to the proper section.

 

650 cfm is the usual size. Anything bigger is over kill. The stock carb had small primaries, with huge secondaries. When they opened up it was like flushing the toilet.

 

Great looking classic muscle, dude!! Hang on to that one.

 

I wouldn't go any bigger than a 600 cfm carb since you have the small valve heads, stock cam and single exhaust.
