I'm Doug Covington from Crosslake Mn where I piss around with some Mopars. Have a 69 Cuda I drag race at BIR, 440 727 torqueflight with the trans break and a 4000 stall runs mid 11's quarter mile. It's an old school hot rod raced all it's life called the "Wild Child". Also currently have a 68 Charger project and a 68 Roadrunner. The Charger has become a total nightmare as I've had it in the shop getting the metal work done. Funny how it went from a super solid foundation to a total fudging nightmare. I'm way too deep in I'm bailing on the project so if anyone is interested it can be bought for a fraction of what I have in it. Enough of that, how I came to this site is from an email I got from Stitcherbob concerning this oddball car I bought. Stans' New Yorker. I'm having a blast going through all the threads on here, you boys are nuts.
Here's the ****, I recently bought the car from the guy in Wisconsin cause it's cool as Hell. I was considering the drivetrain going in the Roadrunner and put a stock set up in the 76 butt........This car is way to cool to mess with so now what. I listed it on ebay, and craigslist thinking big proffit, pffft. Thats where Stitcherbob found me. The car damn near went to Austrailia but the exchange rate drove him off. Then some jackass wanted it in Fla but cried about shipping and the fact I bought it cheap and was making too much. Never mind the fact I've stuck a ton of time and some parts in the car to kinda bring it back to repectable, and it is. After countless hours in the shop we actually won a car show with it at BIR, but it's a small event with not a lot of cars in the class and a racer freindly show so wtf. I is damn nice now though but needs a few things I hope you boys can help me with. I do have a potential buyer for it today, but if he does not come through I'm keeping it and it will be perfect again, and who knows it may find it's place in a magazine like Comander1 feels it should be. I'm yanking it from Ebay today and I sorta hope this sale falls through as I am getting attatched to the thing. I was going to sell it and put the money toward the Charger but I cant do that. Lets chat!
