    Can I borrow the motor and trans out of the Coronet? The 318 3 on the tree is a wee bit slow :D

    If you weren't so far away, I have a complete driveline, suspension, brakes out of a 68 Charger, Date coded HP 440 bone stock, 727 trans, dana 60 rear, all the hoses, fuel lines, trannie lines, radiator, power steering A/C unit, the K frame, Eeeeevvvvveeeerryyyytttthhhiiinnngggg!!!!!!!!!!

    I gutted a Charger to build a pro-touring/roadracer. I kept everything in decent condition should I ever need it for something else. It's all sitting here in a storage unit in Maricopa County AZ........:D

    Seriously If you need anything PM me.

    I need to pull the car cover off and get the headlights and a/c working properly and some other stuff before I consider a new motor/trans but I appreciate it :D FWIW it's a 66. Still need to pull the console out too and see how hard it would be to switch to a 4spd or auto. Really don't want to have to cut a hole in the floor.

    So it's a 66 Charger with a 3 spd manual on the column? Does it have the full legnth center console and bucket seats front and rear?
    FYI there is a company that makes an electric replacement for the headlight vacuum openers. I was just at the Mopars at the Strip show and bought a set. A little pricey at $420 a pair.
    You can always PM or email to [email protected] for Mopar questions.

    Yep, 66 with the full console, 3 on the tree and a 318 poly, factory air which is evidently really rare on the base motor/trans combo (Texas car).

    I think the motors for the lights just need to be gone through, they weren't installed when Dad bought it and I haven't even tested them yet so there is a small chance they're actually good. Luckily the dash lights work since they're truly cool. It's already a killer shape driver, interior has been redone and is immaculate. I just want more power of course since it is technically a muscle car :D

    Gehr whAt mE woRRy?

    a 66'?
    Will have to keep an eye out for one this weekend & take a few pics
    Had a 72' Challenger, 340 4-speed car which I spent an incredible amount of time & money restoring - almost done with it when I had a nasty accident & totalled it back in the mid 90's. :(
    No more auto restorations for me - the L.A. basin isn't really conducive to keeping a rare car in nice condition &/or in your own possession without massive hassles.
