I was at Matt's shop in Detroit last year and went with him to tour The W.P. Chrysler Museum 9 days before it closed forever. Matt has better pictures.

What's the story on the pic? Matt's garage or WPC museum backlot?

LOL! I think Matt has 10 Mopar's in his shop. A lot of rare ones too! He's starting his own museum.

Matt, where are you? We need an update. LOL!!!

He'll probably be by in the morning. I'm really looking forward to seeing that R/T.

Look at post #59, the citron yella one is Matt's.

 

[detmatt]

Hey guys, still have the R/T, had to re-rebuild the engine...**** parts the first time around. Now it really runs good and as of yesterday is ready to go.

 

[1978 NYB]

Do you still have the .509 cam in it?

 

[detmatt]

Yes, had to put new chain, rings and send a hone through it. Brand new POS timing chain must have stretched in the first 10 minutes and I can't be sure if the rings or the machine shop hone were worth a fluck!

 

[1978 NYB]

Matt, that's a beauty!!!

 

[polara71]

Matt, didnt you sell a car a few months back? Which one was that?

 

[detmatt]

Project Bee

 

[polara71]

o.k.... then thats what I was thinking of..... The R/T is yours?

 

[1978 NYB]

Matt, is the paint job on the RR done yet?

 

[detmatt]

The R/T is owned by me and 2 friends, we bought it from another friend who was less then half way through the resto and lost interest. We picked up where he left off with the Intention of selling and making some money, as it turnd out we are hoping for minimum wage...

 

[polara71]

So its for sale.............? That has to be a tough business, selling you passion

 

[detmatt]

My '68 RR, "The DOG" is not quite ready for paint and frankly I haven't been pushing it. The Imp became my priority, then a few things on my vert then the RR.

 

[polara71]

I need to start turning wrenches on mine, but the money isnt there for anything they need.

I'm not going to be sorry to see that one go, it's a stunning vehicle but the third gen Chargers have never been on my list of keepers. Somebody will have themselves a very rare and thoroughly restored piece, that's the way that one rolled off the assembly line with only 2 exceptions, it had wheel opening moldings and painted steels.
