Cheers guys, appreciate the approval. Got to thank my lovely wife Cathy for telling me to go for it and chucking some cash my way to help!
Had neighbours round last night for dinner who promptly opened bubbles to celebrate the 'return'
These bloody cars get a hold of us sometimes..

Good one Miles

I missed seeing that car this year, love 73 RR look.

Congrats Mate!!

Did wonder where it would end up when it was posted on Faceache.

It was only last week that you said you'd not be back in a Mopar............That lasted then!!!!!

Yeah, I do wonder sometimes, but as Craig had potential sales pending I had to make a decision quickly. To be fair, that car does actually have my blood stains in it

A second factor is that the dollar is so strong now the chance of buying a Mopar at all was soon becoming beyond me.
I know the car inside out for better and worse and I do miss the poke of that 340; it really is a nice motor with all the good stuff in it.

Cheers Jeff,
Went to see the car tonight, 45 mile ride is nice Cornish floods

Got to Craig's place who correctly asked me if I was having second thoughts
( I was a bit, but I keep to my word) and then he showed me the car.

Love all over again

Car started right up and idled fine from cold. Craig hadn't touched the tune once as it was set up right by me after much fiddling with the Demon carb when I owned it.
The work Craig has done simply makes the car better; Proper seat belts, rear floors welded properly, nice black bucket seat interior and a big brake set up front.
Also, Craig has offered to keep the car warm and dry whilst I sell the Fox car..
Looking forward to getting her back in due course

Sounds great, Dunno how long it will be before I own another Mopar.... But glad you have got back into one!

Glad to see you've come back to Ma Mopar

Great news Miles, always loved that car even before you got it , in fact was tempted myself ................now is this the one, the keeper ?
Best Wishes

Hi Guy, a keeper? I thought it was the first time! Probably, I want to semi retire in 3 years time and there wont be money lying around for these cars then, so I'd best make the most of it in the meantime.
It was good to see it again last night, for sure.
The car is a bit more 'me' than the Fox body; beaten around the edges with fading paintwork, but can still kick ass occasionally

I didnt think you were doing the right thing when you sold it Miles. At least youve seen sense. But gotta hand it to ya, good scheme that one

sell the car get the work sorted on it, buy it back done
