Hello from the Yoop.

[Stretch]

Hello from Michigan's Upper Peninsula (the U.P.). I have many mopars including a mostly original ,73 340 Charger rallye (f1 pale green). I say mostly because I corrected the pedal count and added a 4 speed a few years ago, I am restoring a '65 Plymouth valiant. Its on a rotisserie currently. I mini tubed it, sub frame connectors using a US cartool level 3 kit. It's getting a ,71 340 and 4 speed, I have a '69 valiant 4 speed car with a w2 340, a 68 valiant with a 170 slant six and 4 speed, I daily drive a '73 Dart 4 door slant six 4 speed car, and I am getting ready to start working on my '71 challenger (318 4 speed). I am building a 440 six pack for it along with a 18 spline 4 speed. The challenger needs fenders and a few other parts. My plan is to get it running and on the road with the 318 then build the 440 and drive it as much as possible.

I think I can work that out for you.

Let's see if I can sort out how to post pictures on this board.

The '65 valiant is on the rotisserie and I plan to epoxy prime it this weekend. There is a pic of the mini tubs below. The '73 charger is original paint, decals, engine and interior. I converted it to a 4 speed a few years ago with as many correct for 73 parts as I could find. I kept the bench seat and added the reverse light to the dash. I replaced the vinyl top in my garage with a couple of buddies bout 5 winters ago. I have owned this charger for over 25 years. The '73 dart is a 225 with ac. I daily it all summer. I converted it to a pd 4 speed a few years ago and custom bent dual exhaust for it at work because why not. LOL

The '69 valiant in the barn door is the w2 340 4speed. Originally a 225 auto. Now a 4 speed. Are you seeing a pattern here?
The snow covered valiant is a '68 with a 170 3 speed. I rebuilt a od 4 speed for it, and plan to convert it to big bolt disk. I have a f-body 8.25 and a surgirip unit and 3.55 gears for it. The a 100 is a '65 and I have not decided what to do with it yet. It's pretty rusty. The yellow dart was a '73 340 4 speed. Someone cut it up to build a drag car years ago. I cut the frame rails out and sold them.

This is the charger interior.

I have AMD rear quarters and a dual exhaust valance for the challenger.

Thanks. The pictures don't do it justice. The green is brighter in person. Believe it or not that is the original paint. The green really needs the black. I painted the roof when I did the vinyl top. Trust me. Thats alot of ugly without the black. It came with 14" magnum 500 wheels. I painted a set of steel wheels when I did the 4 speed swap. I like body color wheels with light colors and chrome wheels with dark colors. I had 15" wheel Vintiques magnums on it before the body color wheels.

Here's a picture with the 15" wheel Vintiques magnums and one with the body color 15's.

Also a better picture of the w2 340 '69 valiant. These were taken when we were installing the w2 340 and the fresh a833.

Welcome to the site fellow Michigander from the mitten part! Your 73 daily driver is awesome as a 4 dr 225 vinyl top car!

Your 73 daily driver is awesome as a 4 dr 225 vinyl top car!

Thanks. I can't believe how much I enjoy the Shart. We call it the Shart because I'm 6'6" 314#. My nickname is Stretch and I have a dart. It just kinda became the Shart because. "Stretch has a Dart".

I rebuilt a OD A833 for it and swapped out the 904 the first winter I had it.
