Hello from the Mile High City!

[10seconds]

I have a 1972 Barracuda drag car that I want to make streetable, maybe. Also have a 65 Satellite convertible, a 69 coronet and a 69 road runner: all are crusty and need lots of work. My journey begins today.

I'm probably going to sell two of them and keep the other two. Which two? I have no idea yet. Each of them has something cool about it that I love. The 65 is a red on black console convertible, the Coronet is a console car with A/C (that I've had for 35 years), the RR is a 4-speed and the Barracuda is a factory orange car. Decisions decisions...

Welcome to FEBO! Nice to have you with us! I would keep all of them! Show us some pics of those Mopars!

72 Barracuda. Not tubbed but the factory dash and everything behind it is gone. Has a small block. I inherited it and do not really know anything about it. It's allegedly a ten second car. It's a thousand miles away at my sister's house. Going to go visit it soon. I did find Mr. 50's Customs in Chicago. Will chat with the guy who built it next week to see what details I can get from him. Has rust on the bottom of the quarters. Has the AAR rear valance without the exhaust cutouts. I have an OEM set of AAR stripes... If I change out the quarters I may put 70 quarters on it.

69 Coronet small block car with bucket seats and an A/C I've had since I was 16. Probably getting a 5.7l Hemi. I pulled the 440 out of it decades ago to put in a GTX that was later stolen.

69 Road Runner 4-speed no options bronze on bronze that someone painted orange at some point. I bought a 68 H-code 383 for it. I kinda want to make it road worthy and do nothing to the outside. These days ya can go to a car show and see an entire row of restored RR's. I remember the 70's and early 80's when ragged out Road Runners were terrorizing the streets. Not to often you see a RR on the streets with rust holes and faded paint.

I have 4! I have 7 if you count parts cars and trucks. I need to thin the herd. I had a dream that I put a trailer hitch on the Road Runner and hauled my Barracuda to the track with it! I'm just stupid enough to try that.

Believe it or not... my favorite Mopar is my 1998 Dakota. 318, 12 bolt suregrip .355's 5 speed 4X4 straight piped, 4 inch body lift with A/C and power windows. She's my work truck and gets driven almost daily. She needs paint but I'm afraid that will only encourage the thieves here in Denver. Upgraded the brakes to 2003 Durango calipers on the front: brakes in a big city are very necessary items. I had a 986 Porsche Boxster for a while so now I know what good brakes are supposed to feel like. My Dakota brake upgrade brought me from terrible to normal. I'll keep this one forever.

Welcome To FEBO. It always amazes me how someone thinks you don't want or need something as bad as they do.Although you worked for it and had plans theirs is better. I had a T/A disappear.

Sorry to hear that, people suck. I'm still very bitter about my GTX being stolen. I'll never get over it. Didn't touch any of mine for decades after. My poor Coronet has been parked in the same spot since 1997.

The Coronet with a console car with A/C (that that you had for 35 years) That's what I would keep.

Welcome to the site from Arkansas!

Thanks. My cars are in Arkansas. I’m from Magnolia AR originally. Storing them at my dad’s place as property in Denver is stupid expensive.

I used to live there in the early 70’s. Nice town. We deliver parts there everyday. Bubbas body shop for the most part. Can only image the storage prices in Denver.
Again, welcome!

The short version: I came out here for work in 2018 and then I accidentally started a fireplace business and just stayed.
