Nice. For some reason, that color combo, blacked out hood, black vinyl roof and black between the wheel spokes just works perfectly. Very clean look.Finally making my way back to this site, new project in my life. 66' 500. 440/727. Excited to get it on the road! View attachment 1818912View attachment 1818902View attachment 1818904
The Ride of Shame! I've been there, too. Sheared off alternator bolt. I asked the truck driver if he could wait until after dark to drop it off, so my Chevvie and Ford neighbours wouldn't see it. He didn't think my CAA card would cover that. LOLMOPAR[ My Old Pig Ain't Running]. Faulty magnetic pick up and one bad wire connection to it. At least it was an easy fix plus I got towed by a Dodge.

The '68 caps are same style as your large '67 caps, but smaller and will fit your cop wheels. My favourites are the '69 Red Stripe caps, but they have gotten ex$pensive.
Here is early version of my wagon, with pimped out Cop wheels; ralley centres and trim rings. Later version ala R/T, with painted wheels and Red Stripe caps.Today I was able to put my freshly coated cop wheels on with some new Cooper tires. 235/70-15 on front, 255/70-15 on the back. The rears were fun getting them in place even after putting stand under the front hangers and letting the suspension/diff droop down. Next time around I may deflate the tires. According the the tech at the tire shop, one of my front wheels is bent some. I marked it and will see how it does. I do have a cop wheel w/tire in the spare well. Will put that on some time and check the runout. If it's good, I'll get it blasted and coated, then swap out with the other. I thought the covers off my 14's would fit on the cop wheels. Nope, too big. Gotta chase down some dog dish units and see if anyone wants the ones from the 14's. I like the drop in RPM going down the road with the taller tires. Plus it looks way nicer.

Usually a manual transmission car will out mph an auto, but have a slower et with everything else equal.Just got back from a Friday night test n tune.
Still getting to grips with the 5 speed manual TKX. I was at 14.1 @ just about 100 mph with the 727. Tonight only managed 14.8 @ 97. The auto was much easier to launch, but the manual is much more fun.

I like the colour.Check out that interior-
I've never seen yellow with black and gold.
I've seen green, black, gold, and white but not yellow.
Supposed to be original paint.

I like it too..At first I thought it was kind of an odd combo, but the more I look at it, the more I like it.
