Re: 72 disc brakes

Dr. Diff sells adapters to use the later rotors on the early spindles.

Sorry, I have no links or phone # handy.

Re: Rear Speaker & Blower Housing

Wayyyyyyyyyyyyy back in the day, when I used to actually drive these cars every day, year 'round, I had stereo speakers and rear defog. I lived in the snow belt and NEEDED the thing! Anywhoo, I used to mount the blower motor to the crossbrace behind the rear seat. Probably didn't suck in as much war...

Re: Carlisle 2011

Well, I got my swap space renewal Thursday and $$ is due by 4/20. Yep, money due in April for a July show. This crap gets earlier and earlier every year. At least they didn't jack the price. Where are you staying Bruce? I might go with the CC.com folks in Mechanicsburg, but it's too soon to know for...

I was thinking the exact same thing. The yellow paint might make a nice base coat for a fresh layer of green. :D

Re: What's it Worth? 70 Charger R/T

Non-console hump? If you're asking if you could of got a '70 Charger R/T with a 4-speed, and no console. The answer is yes. Console in a 4-speed, or automotic, was an extra cost option. Thanks. I wasn't sure since a lot of "upscale" things were standard on Charger R/T. I thought maybe console was a...

What's it Worth? 70 Charger R/T

I'm kicking tires on a local (central NC) 70 Charger R/T. No pics, but here's the skinny: REAL R/T (XS29U0G). Was an auto on column with center arm rest, previous owner added 4-speed with pedals and non-console hump. (Was this even available on a 70 Charger?) Was green with green top, TAN interior. ...

Re: Found something interesting

That used to be my favorite magazine before I could drive real cars. Krass & Bernie were the best.

I bet Bruce will have something to say about it!

No clue what the little cover replica is though. (scratches head)

Re: Pozzi for 73-74 RR

Yes, the later cars had the larger holes in the spring perches due to the rubber isolated suspension introduced in the 73 model year.

Re: Finally some progress on project #2

Looks super!

What's that Holley you're running? I've never seen that type with an electric choke that's a Mopar application, just the Rochester replacement.

Re: Bucket seat interchangeability

The SEATS were too short or the TRACKS were too short? 70/Early 71 B & E frames are the same with different foam, all other years are different from B to E. In 73 & 74 the E-body upper foam was molded into the frame, so they cannot be altered in any way. E-body seats in 73-4 also had no plastic back...

Re: What's The Story W/ This SSP?

It's an early VIN, so possibly a pilot car or an exec ordered it. Kinda like a COPO in the GM world. Like you guys stated above....but so what? I noticed the copy reads "GayLen's assistant had never blah, blah..." I guess GayLen only gets excited these days when the check clears. Still a cool car, b...

Re: Custom Console

The mechanism is not rebuildable as far as I know, but there are plastic bushings at the ends of the linkage and pivot holes that can be replaced.

I've found that once the detents stop working properly and a good lube doesn't fix it, you pretty much need to find another good, used unit.

Re: Custom Console

The best I can do for you would be a pistol-grip handle that replaces the stock T-handle. (Made in the USA!)
