A great restoration imported from Evansville Indiana to Edinburgh, Scotland in 2016.
About this Mopar:
I bought this car on eBay back in 2016 from a businessman in Indiana and imported it to Edinburgh, Scotland. There was some weird stuff going on with the bidding and I didn’t get the car first time, however the winning bidder couldn’t actually afford to pay for the car so I got a second bite…at a reduced price.
I believe the car was restored at Rexburg, Idaho sometime between 2006-2010.
The seller assured me the engine was from a 1972 R/T but later we discovered it was actually a 1978 manufactured motor, so I’m guessing it was from a truck or RV. I genuinely believe the seller did not know this…but I could be wrong.
I had fun with the car for a couple of years until it suffered catastrophic engine failure due to a new oil filter failing after a months use.
The engine was rebuilt using all new components during 2019 and lots of other general maintenance was carried out including the fitting of a new Borgeson steering box. We even managed to get the flip up headlight covers working again!
Enjoy the photos!
