Suppose you just won $10,000 from a lottery scratch ticket...What would you do to your car?

10k wouldn't go to far in my garage, but if given the opportunity to spend it on one car,and overdrive transmission, 4 wheel disc brakes and a set of wheels would chew up 10k pretty quickly.
Well, 10k in late 2021 when this thread was started would buy a good deal more than it will now!!
 
Engine rebuild to make it a little more pump gas friendly should take care of $10k pretty easily
 
At this point, I'd still be interested in the power windows.
I'll add to that the roller cam to reduce the anxiety of cam and lifter failures. I still think of swapping in a decent stereo.
 
Let's see....hmmmm....it IS a Mopar, and a first generation Charger at that....sooooooo...$10,000 huh?....
Obvious! I'd buy two parts for the car!!!

KD, that "rumblin' sound" is the only music We need !!!
 
I don't mind listening to the engine for local stuff but get on a 6 hour road trip and....it would be nice to have some classic rock from the 60s and 70s to cruise with. I have a stereo but it isn't great. The solid lifter cam makes some valvetrain noise that sometimes gets annoying.
 
Buy new bucket seats and then......

....I guess I didn't have as much left over.....damn
 
#1 A stout 5 or 6 speed O/D conversion $5.5k+
SFI rated bellhousing, flywheel & clutch

#2 a Strange Engineering S-60 Dana, Sure-grip 1350 u-joints/yokes $3k+
or locker, probably 3.73:1 if I went O/D trans,
depending on which final drive gear ratio or low gear ration
used in the 5-6 speed, I want a 10:1 combined ratio in 1st gear
& at engine to trans spinning 1:1 in 4th

#3 option 1 *custom stainless steel ceramic coated headers
conservatively easily $2k+, more like $3k for that
1-7/8" port step to 2" about 12"s down pipe, keep velocity up
headers, upswept & down the back by the firewall
like the old S/S MW manifolds 'but not cast iron'
(clear my rack & pinion & torsion bars)
so no sparkplug interferences & especially make it easy to get to
going into a 2" scavenger collectors 4-2-1 to 3" v-band off the collectors
& add electronic or manual cutouts, depending on room,
add it into my existing full 3" mandrel exhaust
valve checks would be a bit more timely,
you'd need to let the headers cool completely

#4 option 2 **my only other option is a TTI-383178c only one manufactured to fit,
the Unisteer-Rack & pinion/Power, & that's $1,180 before shipping

I'm sure that'd eat $10k+ up easily, maybe as much as $12k after shipping
