Mopar Muscle Association UK

A year later I had a proper job and a Corsair that stood me in £350. A mate had a piece of Bananarama! '67 Barracuda Formula S, it was rusty, it smoked like a train but it had a 4 speed and an 8 3/4" sure grip. I couldn't swap the Corsair for it fast enough. It needed a ton of welding and filler to get it looking half decent. I rebuilt the 273 with headers and a hot cam, 4.30 gears, stripped it out, Centerline wheels and a fibreglass hood. Ran 13.7, which in 1980 was a pretty fast car. Kept it till '84 when I decided I needed a cleaner shell. Stripped it of all the stuff I wanted to keep and sold the rolling shell to a guy that left it in the street outside his house, until the council towed it away and crushed it.

Think its a Canadian model Dunc, i remember an identical car when i lived there waaaay back!

So, armed with a few hundred quid me and Bish headed off to Belgium to find me a '69 Dart to put all my running gear into. We couldn't find a Dart but did come across a really tidy 6 cylinder '73 Duster for £300 so we drove that home. I set about swapping in all the Barracuda's running gear, but somewhere along the line the 273 and 4 speed got sold to be replaced by a tunnel rammed 383 and 18 spline B body 4 speed. That car was a real hoot, ran 11.8 and was a real hand full on the street. I should have left it at that...

Thanks

But we all know that for a Mopar to be a Muscle Car it needs to be born an R/T with a Hemi or a 440+6 to be Muscle


Not my Rules of course.

Loving this thread.
Keep em coming chaps

Started off with the green Duster, bought from Dave Madders then sold it on to Tony.
Within a few months missed having a car so started looking and bought my 71 Dart from Dave Madders again the following summer.
These are the pictures Dave sent me of the car in California.

I left the car with Dave over the winter to get some work done and this is how it ended up. Still have it today

Only had one yank before 'cuda and it wasn't iron.
Started build in 1990 on the road May 1993,sold 2005 to a French guy from the south of France now lives in the north of.

Just me old truck for me.
Nearly six years of smiles but she's got to go soon

My first was a 67 notchback mustang with a 71 351 clevland shoehorned in, painted bumpers & a bit rough, if I found a pic & posted it on here, 'hard as nails' you would cry but 'rotten as a pear' I remember it as, still at school, in sixth form, no insurance & a fake tax disc, didnt matter as much back then...
Then a well rough 76 corvette which I tarted up & had for years then sold as Id bought my pals really nice 76 vet. B body mopars were still far to much money.
Years later bought a 69 318 satillite which was a really nice survivor & joined up here & was really sucked in...one b body after another

then big red n loud off Jeff on here, which I did a lot of work to then some fool ruined it,similar time bought a right fancy 69 roadrunner 493 ci off George Chiles on here, probably the most fun car ive had both good on the track & on the street, even took it around mallory park

Next bought this 68 383 roadrunner, mainly because of the colour combo, ended up going to sweeden

now I have 2 cars which i have no plans to ever sell, a 68 coronet 572 which I bought off Jerry Smith on here & Cliveys 70 charger

are trucks allowed ??
This was one of the most mad things ive ever bought, early 80's Kenworth off Jon Connley, had to sell it to buy the charger

Now you`re talking Andy

My Kenworth K100 next to my mate`s K100 ... mine is on right ... 400 big cam Cummins. V.I.T. very important trucker spec

There are 2 trucks I am desperate to own but they just aren`t around

Dodge L700 ( oversized A100 )
