    Latest creation

    Amazing workmanship. Thanks for the inside view on how this kind of finish is done. How many man-hours went into the project? And this may be a crass question, but what's the general price range of a huge custom piece like this? I'm just wondering if it's $1,000-ish or $10,000-ish? I...

    Car shows in the field

    I thought the landscape looked familiar in your pics... I'm from that area. Family farm is on the Three Forks (Adams Co)... if you see a dark blue '63 Rambler with a light blue top in your travels, I learned to drive in it. :) THanks for posting your pics, barnfind!

    Opinion

    I think I may have seen that car, or another Mustang done just like it, at Austin Cars & Coffee. I was conflicted; my favorite part of the car enthusiast world is the noise -- old Alfas, Mopars, (hate to say it) Mustangs for the last few years, Astons, etc. And obviously the electrics have...

    Shipping cars

    I used Jim at Truly Vintage. Great guy. It can take a while to fit into his schedule but is worth it. He treats every car like it's his own, drives slowly and carefully, etc. http://www.forcbodiesonly.com/mopar-forum/showthread.php?10658-help-looking-for-transport-help

    Ford Eco Boost

    My parents have one that's a 2014 or 2015, I think, with the twin-turbo 6-banger. I drove it a long way (mostly highway) at Christmas in ND. I had the opposite reaction; I was all prepared to hate it but I was shocked by how much power it had (50-70 passing, etc.). Around town it felt ok. I...

    Thanks commando1! That's a lot cleaner and more current than my messy text paste.

    How to get police options on civilian Mopar?

    For everyone's reference, this is from the public notice for a State of Iowa bid awarded to Stew Hansen Dodge. It's messy but it has each option's description, code, and the bid price under that particular contract. Dodge Charger LDDE48 Line 1 SPEEDOMETER, Calibrated with 2% accuracy with...

    How to get police options on civilian Mopar?

    Now that I know the codes, though, I can find dealers with those in stock and see if they'll let one go, versus trying to finagle a one-car order from Fleet. Thanks 67Monaco!

    How to get police options on civilian Mopar?

    My assumption all along has been that SURELY there's a way around that. But maybe not.

    How to get police options on civilian Mopar?

    I guess I need to give up on this idea that I'm going to be able to order a Hemi car for $25k. Will probably get a used one for $10k or under and Lysol the bejeezus out of the back seat.

    How to get police options on civilian Mopar?

    Maybe I'm looking at the wrong place but when I try to go through those "build & price" steps it is very limited -- I can't find a full a la carte checklist -- it's already saying no! Basically what I want to do is start with an SE or SXT and then put on a handful of key options. But the Hemi...

    How to get police options on civilian Mopar?

    I'll try that. Every month or two I have to work in an out-of-the way town -- Uvalde, etc.

    How to get police options on civilian Mopar?

    You'd think, wouldn't you. It's so GD frustrating. All the ones they're trying to sell me have $10-15k worth of options I don't want. One of the reps I talked to went so far as to say look, the wheels on that R/T are $500 each, you could take 'em off and sell 'em on Ebay. So I said I don't...

    How to get police options on civilian Mopar?

    That's the thing! At the two largest dealerships up here they've blown me off when I started inquiring about the details. The sales people seem hungry only for the upsell, not for something stripped down. They seriously suggested I would have to get an R/T and then tear it apart and sell the...

    How to get police options on civilian Mopar?

    Good find, thanks. Says it's for sale to municipality or law enforcement, though. And it's a six-banger. But that's the idea. And just to clarify for everyone, I'm not looking for a "real" police car. I don't want the push bar, spotlights, etc. Just the super basic interior, HD...

    Interesting, didn't know anything other than commercial/agricultural machinery/trucks showed that.

    How to get police options on civilian Mopar?

    Hmmmm... thanks guys. Maybe used is the best bet. There's a 2010 nearby with under 100k miles for under 10k. However, I worry that 100k actual miles means sitting around idling for the equivalent of 300k miles, plus who knows what has been excreted/ejected in the back on the way to the drunk...

    How to get police options on civilian Mopar?

    Hey folks-- I am thinking about getting a new daily driver and was wondering if anyone knew how to get a new police-package Mopar, like a Charger or (if they offer it) a Durango. I don't want leather, nav, fancy sound system, fancy wheels, power seats, power windows, etc, just 4 doors, cloth...
