    Imagine this was a Dodge instead...

    There was a 71 Bonnie, yellow with white top over black interior, in a garage a few miles away that I'd see from time to time when the door was open. Finally made aquaintence with the property owner last year and before I could see him again and ask, it was gone within a few weeks. Said that...

    Ever have a car you once owned get an article printed in a car magazine?

    Pretty Cool guys! I used to have fun with the Street Rod and Custom event coverage in mags. Seemed that one pix from every show in my area for a few years included a snippet of one of my cars while they were never the main focus. ..hey look! That's my roof! ..ooh, that's my trunklid and tail...

    WEIRD E58 engine code

    Good points. Some of the earlier cars share the iso problems too. Those that didn't don't seem to enjoy any better handling. Much worse. It just is. The weight bias you mentioned is for real! But I've had em in the air enough to know that I owe my life to Chrysler's engineering the...

    WEIRD E58 engine code

    There's something about being able to hang and hold past 45* that I enjoy. I may have figured it out by accident at first, but I'm happy to know that I can run an F-body out completely sideways and hang on, even drive it and hold as long as I like. Run it out from a standstill, and keep it...

    WEIRD E58 engine code

    WEEEeeeell.... Stan did tell ya to let it go... So I'm gonna say you're half right, there. We all have our burden's in our automotive loves. I truly enjoy our NYB, but my heart has been F since my first time behind the wheel. They wouldn't look right without their big bumpers. I'm not...

    WEIRD E58 engine code

    Ya'll can say it looks like anything you like, but it's "PI". Dave had already figured it out for himself I'm betting. Still has it's factory windage tray and the rest too. Just thought I'd share. We'll keep it to ourselves tho, huh? Wouldn't want any average so called enthusiast's who...

    WEIRD E58 engine code

    I have it on high authority that no such term was ever used by Chrysler Corp. It is a Plymouth engine, so I'm thinking probably "Pursuitis Interruptus" Beep Beep !!!!!

    WEIRD E58 engine code

    So here I am wasting time actually working on Mopars in the garage when I got curious about what year that E58 short block in the corner is. So I cleaned the grease off from the last time I looked. 9W-ok, it's a 79. Didn't remember. 360-I knew that. PI-wait, what? PI ? PI ? Why, what...

    Late B-C hubcaps

    I was at the Salvage Yard today and found a set of the 15" hubcaps that I LOVE in the backseat of a 79 Cordoba. Only 2 were even marginally usable tho. I never realized when looking at them in pix, that they're faces are made of plastic. Plastic that breaks easily and gets rashy even easier...

    Name that C body

    Lol, well at least with the other guesses, I don't feel too bad about missing the ID somehow...

    Name that C body

    WOW! I hadn't even considered that possibility! But I don't think it's PBY. Maybe PB-X100 ?!!!?;) Honestly I don't know what these fenders are any more than anyone else it seems. My guess is, Imperial. Note the small screw hole on either side of the marker holes. I believe that to be for...

    Name that C body

    Of course there is silly!!!! But what fun would that be? ;)

    Name that C body

    We have a w ............ sunuva...:soapbox: That 2" wide flat top ridge throws it off any pix I've seen of anything. The fender top is about 7.5" wd at the front. The recessed lip is Chrysler as is the marker hole. That is absolutely identical to compared others. But what could it be? Did...

    Name that C body

    Nope. Got one of those too. Considerably smaller and doesn't have provision for header panel. These are huge.

    Name that C body

    So I happened into some random NOS panels... Mostly Mopar. Couple AMC Javelin doors. But I cannot match this fender up to anything. It's 65.5" long and is clearly 72 and up by the marker light holes. Whats it fit?

    Need 1972 Chrysler New Yorker rear bumper

    Well...swinging on a pole never intersted me. Not sure how else I may get you to mention whatever you've found and also how.mch you don't know. Was in Bath PA yesterday and saw low blue valve cover E58's. Unalike the tall black covered SC and KC ones. Dif PN too. There's still a lot of blanks...

    Need 1972 Chrysler New Yorker rear bumper

    Ah brotherly love.. touching..lol! I just turned a guy with time on his hands and All the 78 dealer literature onto the case. He has 10 of these cars and egines. He also calls the E58 HP-version an Interceptor. Too many dont know squat about my chosen era and assume I and the few who share...

    Need 1972 Chrysler New Yorker rear bumper

    I hear ya man. Like I said, I'll revisit the topical when Im not just popping in while taking a quick rest break if I've got something to.show. Just out of the curiousity of beating the dead.horse a little.more tho. Whats your broadcast zheet decoder say about it? Does E58 also come back as...

    Need 1972 Chrysler New Yorker rear bumper

    Obviously the rest of the world is mistaken then. The term and its relation to only one chrysler engine came out of thin air. Got it... What was the old engine myth? Something about 440 heads back in the day. I'll file this away, but I'm not certain you're.correct in this instance just...
