Here's a pic of my 82 Sport Coupe a couple days after I finished restoring it back in '03. I hadn't gotten around to polishing the paint when this was taken. I bought this car with a NA 3.8 installed & the correct turbo 3.8 in the trunk in Calgary in '98 for $1300...I used it as a daily...

Not too many hot air cars around here, but a few 86-87's. Might be able to scrounge a used one locally, wasn't aware of the interchangeability...(!)...I take it the performance improvement isn't worth the hassle? Or is there that much of an improvement? I have a couple sets of (80 & 82) the...

I've got the RHS manifold (with the up-pipe fitting) but need the LHS. These are the factory 83 only "shorty header" design. Does anyone have one lying around in the garage? :biggrin: Putting together a carbed turbo V6 (1980 block) with an .063 turbo and don't want to use the 82 and earlier...

Well, at least you had the foresight to buy one and keep it for a while...the only other mopar I actually made money on was a 71 6 bbl GTX (plum crazy, PW, gullwing, column auto, air grabber) that I bought out of an auto trader for $4300 after I sold the 'cuda. After figuring out the motor was...

Mopar hell... Hmmmmm...I sold my 70 hemicuda in 88 for 17K; bearing in mind the market rise since, I should probably be approached with caution... :eek: Mind you, I also had the presence of mind to buy a loaded 70 stage1 GS from the original owner for five hundred bucks in 1981, and drove it...

72 Cuda 440-6 Been out of the mopar end of things for a while, hope my memory is still good. First of all, this will either be a 70 or 71; 6 bbl cars were officially discontinued at the end of the 71 model year. I don't know how much your friend knows about checking the originality on these...

87 T Values... I took an 87 T on trade this summer...Silver/gray,buckets/console, T-bar (no leaks) tilt, cruise, am/fm cassette, one repaint on a nice straight (but not totally rust free) body, good bumpers, blackout package, 231 V6 NA (!) TH 325(?) very nice driver, sold it in sept for $1350...

Delamination? Jimmy, are you working with Nason? That's the only BC/CC product I've used that requires a hardener in the base. ('tho there's probably others) If your're worried about a delamination problem you can always spray an "Intercoat" clear (sometimes referred to as a 1K clear) between...

83 TR parts To save the PITA of shipping to Canada, I can have you ship them to a buddy of mine in Eaton OH (just down the road from Independence, so to speak) and I'll pick 'em up from him at Pomona in Feb. He's out picking up another super stocker in KS right now, but you can price shipping...

83 turbo parts I'm looking for a LHS exhaust manifold...up pipe...and oil filler cap assy.

Door woes Got thinking about this while I was airbrushing a Peterbilt today...think the problem with the door handle is you're probably trying to put it in "straight"; and the swingarm that the rod attaches to is hitting the lower edge of the opening. It's a tight fit at the best of times, but...

side seal weatherstrips If that door you've replaced came off a Regal LTD (with the wide chrome moulding instead of the thin black trim that the GN's and T-Types use) the holes may be in different places on the inside of the doorframe. Just had this happen in reverse...LTD side seal...

T-Top rot This thread got me thinking about a piece that could (or should) have been made in the T-bar assembly process...I just finished a body resto on a rosewood 86 t-type for a friend, and the condition of the forward windshield frame, including the R & L forward pillars, was unbelievably...

83 turbo engine OK, replied to your e-mail; waiting on a price, thanx, Dave

83 parts Cool...I'll wait for your reply; I should be home by friday as well
