Teardrop time guys...
Show the ones that got away, you had to sell, got parted out, got crashed... whatever... ;)
I've had a '64 stretched Chrysler Newport once. The car was just under 20 foot long. 'Rust' got the better part of it so I parted it out.
I was an European export-car once, and the body was stretched about 2 foot here in the Netherlands in 1973 orso.
Here's my '67 Chrysler Newport I've owned for well over 13 years. It was my dailydriver for at least 9 to 10 years of those.
Up till now is was the best handling car I have owned. It was no Corvette, but I with good shocks, stiff springs in the rear, a good sized swaybar upfront and a 60-series tires all around (most of the time) it could cut a corner way better than any other comparable fullsize car of this vintage.
This is how I bought it;
Show 'n' Shine-pics ;D
Also had numerous engines in this car, amongst which my solid cammed 440 with dualcarb marine-intake... This was a blast to drive. (Notice the high-tech non-progressive carb linkage ;) )
The car managed to do 13.6 on the quarter just before I pulled the engine.
Here's my '71 Dart where the 440 engine got put into.
The Dart did a measely 11.95 on the 1/4 because of a leaky Thermoquad I was using at the time on a Torker I intake. And after a couple of runs I did something stupid between 2 runs and somewhat trashed the engine during the next run. Result; a broken piston-ringland and a cracked cylinder.
Last, and most certainly the least... My 'ole '77 Dodge Charger... ;D
I had dragged this one home for the prestine interior, which I thought I could one day use in my '71 Dart perhaps, and the smallblock 318, 904 transmission and 8 1/4 rearaxle, which I figured I could make a buck or two on.
Well, the car endup in my storage for years 'cause I was lacking the time to do take this one apart.
But I had more fun with it then with any other car just because of showing pics of this rusted hulk on various forums. ;D Judge for yourself...
