new old fun

[runningbird]

Hi everyone.
I just joined, I've never done a intro on a forum before so here goes.

I bought my first car at 13 , 1973. A 70 roadrunner, 6bbl auto dana w/4:10. spent a lot of time with that car, met my wife in it in fact. When I bought it , it had 25k on it. Didn't run well had a cam lobe rounded off. anyway had that car till a July night in 97 when our house /garage caught on fire. my car was a total. no insurance. I salvaged the motor and rearend.

since that time I bought my kids a few Mopar's, 2 70 dusters and a 69 satellite.

still have those cars. I just retired and brought the 69 up and well be starting on it soon. lots of work to be done, but the care is in good shape for its age. It will end up with my motor and rear end in it. when it is done I'll send it up to my son in Portland has it is his car.

hope to learn a lot hear, I've never done more than the basics but will jump in.

Welcome! What an awesome view you have from your yard.
Is that a factory big block satellite? Pretty rare if so. Looks like a solid start

no , its not the original motor. i think it was a 318 . we pulled a 440 out of a motor home and stuck it in. but that was 15 years ago while my son was in high school.

I did keep the VIN. not sure why at the time. but still have it and the fender tag. yard that took the car away had a fit. I had already pulled the sheet out from under the back seat. it was very interesting.
