So, I've been seeing trailers on TV for the new movie Cars from Pixar/Disney. I noticed what looked like a light blue winged car, so I looked around online and found out that it is indeed a 1970 Superbird. With a 43 on the side.

Hi y'all, just joined. Kiwi based in Melbourne, AU... proud owner of (among others) '69 VF Hardtop, '69 VF Ute, '68 VE Sedan. Sedan and ute are for sale, anyone local just comment if you're in the market. A hearty thank you to blonde_vamp for igniting my obsession with Valiants. Previously I'd been aflicted with Old Pommy Car disease.

Take a look at this '64 Dart TV ad. Wow...talk about a bygone era: A kid shooting a gun, unbelted kids standing in the back seat, unbelted adults upfront, a 111"-wheelbase car being called "compact"...!

I'll be getting a used Ram 1500 or maybe even 2500 in the next couple months. I'm probably gonna aim for a Cummins, but I'm not opposed to a 318 either. Manual transmissions only. Any tips on what I should look out for? Problem areas?

hey there again folks, I was wondering if anyone could tell me the part number for a 1967 Belvedere driver's side tail light? And if the bezel is as tender as the lens then I'll probably need that number too if anyone has it.

Here's a pic of the passenger side to give you a visual aid.

Why can't we have car ads like this any more?

(The cars look pretty good to me, too...)

I decided to branch off and create my own community for modern Mopar vehicles 1987 and newer, cars and trucks, front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive, or all-wheel-drive/4x4. Regardless if it's a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Eagle, or Plymouth, if you're a modern Mopar owner or driver, please feel free to join modern_mopar and make yourself at home, thank you ( Read more... )

Can anyone recommend a good mechanic (in or around Portland, Oregon) or do you know someone who is savvy with older vehicles? My '67 belvedere needs some serious overhaulin and i want to make sure i don't get taken for a ride on what is and what isn't causing a problem. Thanks for your help.
