    My Old Mopar

    Back before I found myself my 911, I built up an Aussie version of a Dodge Dart factory drag car. I have always loved factory style race/drag cars, from the sixties especially. This is a 1969 Chrysler Valiant running a 360, 727( 3500 stall), and 9inch diff with 411 gears. It ran 11.8's on street tyres, full exhaust and pump gas. I won the 1997 Australian Nostalgia Drag title for my class.
    I was in my mid twenties, and I sold it to travel the world. I do miss it.
    Sorry about the pics, I took photos of photos.

    My 65 Plymouth Belvedere II I had in High School and my first year at UCLA. Yanked the 273 and stuffed in a 413 Max Wedge with a 727 Torqueflite and 391 gears. Lots of fun before the first gas crisis of 73. I then bought a new Super Beetle.

    Frank, nice GTO!!!
    Chuck, cant wait to see the end result, Im sure it will be worth the wait.

    I would love to build a another Dart, this time with a Hemi Crate motor . Nothing could replace my little 911 though!!

    Stefan,
    that Plymouth must have really moved with the later combo!!! It must have been a shock jumping straight into a Beetle

    Biggest problem was keeping it hooked up...

    The beetle was real culture shock but it was time to move on. Wish I still had that Mopar for the multitude of cruise nights around here in SoCal...

    What you don't see is how DRY the drip pan is. I believe it's Chuck's version of a preemptive strike.
