New old member and a 426 Chally
I couldn’t seem to revive my old account here but my old 68 Charger went a few years ago through sheer frustration of trying to sort issues.
I was also restoring a 67 390GT Mustang which was completed last year and I can tell you, they are no where near a patch on the Mopars, or even Chevrolet as far as I’m concerned (so the mustang is going )
More recently my interest in Mopars has been relighted as my nipper has just bought this 70 Challenger 426 4sp. Said to be a 100 point car but I don’t know, it’s an older restoration and has sat in a museum for years.
It’s booked in for some running/driving issues Later this month.

Welcome back, Lee.
Sorry to hear that the Charger has gone - that was a stunning car.
However, what a replacement!
I agree on the Fraud comment too!

Cheers Pete.
Polish up that tool box, it’s a comin’ your way.
Nipper not using it until it’s sorted
What’s the Fraud comment? Re fender tag on fb?
Re: New old member and a 426 Chally
I'm guessing it's your opinion on the FORD (not fraud) Mustang.
Can't comment meself, though our Cortinas weren't that good.
Welcome back.

Very nice indeed Lee. Good to see a Hemi car coming to the UK rather than leaving
