Congrats! Lets hear some details and plans.

Thanks for saving it. Like Matt says...... more details.

Will.

Very nice. What are your plans? BTW you have a nice start on a set of Road Wheels. The center cap is one of the hard to find 70-73 versions.

Saved a Formal! Well done.

Like all Dodge/ Plymouth sedans hat has a former police car vibe to it. Probably because I remember these cars as patrol vehicles so well.

 

[mckinnon45]

Well it's original plan was to be put on the road or restored and sold. But there are 3 problems before I start...
1) no keys. ( I'll have some made)
2) no title. (Title replacement Ranges anywhere from 95-500 here in Illinois)
3) slight frame damage in front of a arms on both sides. Looks like they rear ended someone. Frame is still straight but you can see where it started to dimple.

So, I need to figure out what it's worth before I sink money into it. 76 with a 400. Motor and trans condition unknown. Rust in drivers side trunk pocket. Rest is clean. Interior looks to be all there.
So if it doesn't make it to the road I may try to sell as is, part out, or who knows what.

Not a ½ bad score. Congrats. So, was it a cop car?
Bench or bucket (hey, I HAD to ask... . )

Ya, had to change 2 tires and jack it up, undo pitman arm from linkage. Kick tires straight. (They were locked all the way to the right when parked ) then undo the shifter linkage to get out of park.
Then use a manual cone along to drag it up on the trailer. All while having a fever and muscle pain, and it being 7 degrees out.


I am not sure I understand What road centers are.

[mckinnon45]

I think I've only got 1 or 2 of those here. And only 3 of the rally wheels, some of which are rusted pretty bad

 

[Fratzog]

The centers are 2 pieces. The tower base and the small splined cap. Hard to find used pieces with decent chrome because the grease monkey abuse and road blast.

I thought it was generally agreed among most that they are domes.
But we can't get people to stop saying Posi....

It's more generic than posi. I will forever call them centers because that's what they are

They definitely are domes....did you know there are different part numbers for the domes. Something different about the diameter. Maybe 5 on 5 for Imps. I don't thnk 14" road wheels were ever made. But I know for sure there are different part numbers and they are definitely different diameter configurations.
