hey guys
this is my first car and i intend on keeping it for a while,modding up the engine and what not.
so far i've got two pictures of my beast and one of my tattoo up and the rest are on my other computer but seeing as it crashed i wont have them anytime soon.
as you can see its a 1970 Dodge Charger. its got a dealer replacement nonstamped 383 Magnum block in it and the car has a total of 16400 original miles on it. i bought it off the original owner- a 84 year old lady- in december and spend a week in february bringing it to its current condition. the paint is from a repaint in 73 and its held up nice sence the last time it was registered was 1985.saddly it is an automatic- the original torqueflite is still in place. its entire interior is original from the factory except for the drivers seat that was reconditioned. it has a center console and optional clock.
this car also have a very rare option that few people know exists. thats not a white vinyl roof, thats a white PAINTED roof. i was told by the original owner that she had accidently marked off the wrong box when she ordered this car, and thus- its a factory two tone.
not bad for being a 16 year old's first car
double take with my would of be corvette
-it was one or the other.
junk in the trunk
belly of the beast
all original except the leather on the fun seat.
hood with reversed scoops and hood mounted turn signals.
my brother's car in the backround. who do you think is the smarter one?
three fouths.
if you look closely you can see the "woulda been" vette thru the windshield with its wide white racing stripe
Current Mods
new 2 1/4 inch exhaust system manifold back with a set of super40 flowmasters.
new Edelbrock Thunder Series Carb
reconditioned drivers seat
brand new 14inch chrome magnum 500 wheels. fuck 22's
hood mounted turn signals- an option that i had to have
repainted the engine and engine accessories
new dunlap radials that are rapidly losing their lives due to an ever worsening condition i call "loss of traction"
future Mods
upgrading my stock AM radio to the optional AM/FM avaible from the factory to keep the interior stock looking
tic-toc-tac --its a tach with a clock built into (replacing my current clock)
kiser 6 speed- when i get a couple grand.
rechroming the rear bumper- its original but pitted.
hood pins- i'm nervious cutting into the virgin metal.
hooker headers- 2inch would fit perfecly.
white r/t stripe- its on its way thanks to UPS
a nice 440with a 6-71 blower sitting uptop, fuel injected and intercooled a must.
383Magnum big block 335hp(stock)490 tq (stock)
currently my guess is 380-390 horsepower and well over 540 pounds of torque judging it to my fathers corvette Z06
there is nothing like the kickback when you step on the fun petal.
ricers just dont understand.
there is no replacement for displacement.
no feeling in the world can compare to 400cubic inches fighting for traction on tires that are just too small.
