That is as I recall... I do have a photo somewhere. Was in similar condition when I saw it, except no engine. Destroyed for nothing more than the date and HP stamp. VIN was probably obliterated and restamped, otherwise why bother? The HP stamp means nothing on a rebuild.. I could build the same...

Sorry, should have updated but I guess that since nothing really changed I didn't think I had much to add... Building on the thermal shock idea to knock carbon loose, I am aware of what an issue carbon is for Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines. (Fuel doesn't wash the backside of intake...

Can you show a close up of the grain? I suspect its the GM style (Lavante? Sp?) which is correct for a Salon. If so, I will order one.

Rude, but truthful translation: “Today I threw parts at the car, based on a bunch of persistent wives tales and nonsense guesses that people insist upon making, since it's not their time/money. I found that adding fuel (starting fluid) has a cause/effect on the problem. I thus have a fueling...

I would just do this before I dropped real money on a crummy aftermarket interface. https://www.autoweek.com/car-life/diy/a1852466/add-no-hassle-no-static-bluetooth-connectivity-your-factory-fm-radio-about-50/ (you can skip the whole power antenna part) Then just play whatever I wanted from...

I can't believe so many people are just telling you to throw parts at this (not only in an era of junk aftermarket parts, but also introducing potential new problems). What is this? Facebook? Backfiring through the carb is a sign you are lean, (fuel issue) backfiring through the muffler means...

That's why oil base paint works well. It doesn't make some kind of hard shell barrier that can trap rust, but at the same time it's will give you years of extra life before scaling.

I have the remains of a driver's side outside mirror base installed on my survivor 1951 Imperial. At first I was inclined to think it was original, but I'm having a heck of a time trying to find a photo of that era Mopar with a 'correct' mirror. Now I think it could either be aftermarket or from...

Give this video a watch from about the 6 minute mark to see a car that started with a similar level of surface rust which was wire-wheeled and coated with brushable oil-based enamel tinted to match the OEM paint. Where in the US will you be driving through? A particular route?

I just saw your post and welcome from the East side suburbs from a fellow Chrysler retiree. As for removing the trim I'll just tell you that I've been looking for a wagon and I'm only looking for ones with the factory wood grain trim. You are interested in selling that Sports Suburban or...

Terre Haute, Indiana is where Cissy, Buffy & Jodi lived before their parents were killed in a tragic car accident, necessitating their move to NYC with their uncle Bill.

Holy cripes, I guess I forgot that was your car! If I never told you, it ran great the whole trip... Seattle to Phoenix via the PCH and I-10. Years later, I kind of wish I'd bought the R body NY'er instead. My father came with us last minute and the bigger car would have been more comfortable...

You might pick up some ideas in my thread from 2018. In the end, worked out well for buyer and seller. https://www.forcbodiesonly.com/mopar-forum/threads/importing-from-canada-to-usa.39056/

Yup. The value gap may have narrowed in the last few years because SFGTs have been pretty visible at major events, but that GTX is still going to bring more $$$

A few years later I was supposed to have my 1969 300 photographed by one of the Mopar magazines that was in the area to shoot Harold Sullivan's Silver Bullet car. Sullivan was a big enough collector to have a caretaker at his car warehouse. The guy was a complete douchebag and acted like I had...

I don't mean to be a downer, but I guess I should have mentioned, I'm pretty sure it had a reflective black stripe.. white interior. Now that I think about it I am not sure what color the top was, or if it even had one? But I am pretty sure about the black reflective stripe.

Doubtful. His stuff was all high-end. Probably gathering dust somewhere without the engine casting info being viewed by anything but an occasional spider.

Okay. Forget what I said, lol

I have often wondered. It was in the Detroit area, but I've never seen it resurface. I have some ancient 35mm pics on a computer somewhere. I had the opportunity to buy the remains, but I had just purchased my first house and an immobile car wasn't on my bingo card. Obviously I now regret this.

What if I told you that I knew of a 1971 Sport Fury GT in Factory Mood Indigo, with white interior, from Florida and not Rusty. Supposedly used to create the 71 SFGT stripe kit back in the 90s. This car had its original engine pulled just to give a date correct, HP stamped 440 block to yet...
