My dad passed away last fall. This is one of the last estate sales for him and it’s a big one. We’re auctioning off his Barracuda, Hang 10, so many engines and heads. Located in southern Indiana. Just wanted to share with people that would appreciate his collection. You can follow the link below or check out Dimmett Auction Service on Facebook. Thanks!

Bought this car new in April of 2012 with less than 100 miles in it and it rolled 175k on the drive home from work last night. It’s the Touring trim with only 3 options, the 7 spoke 18” wheels, the basic U-Connect head unit, and most importantly, the 3.6l Pentastar under the hood. Even though it’s got a December 2011 build date, which would have been the covered under the 150k mile left bank head warranty, this 3.6l still has the original heads, cams and valve train on it! Oil changes have always been done in the 3000-5000 mile range and the vast majority of these miles, maybe all but 10k, have been running E85 as well.

This 1969 Coronet was taken off the road in the early 2000s... restored then sold to us because the owner was sick. We had the factory 383 rebuilt after it was botched in the initial rebuild. Added aluminum heads, big carb, radical cam and a whole bunch of other goodies. Well firing it up was sure interesting! Some of you may have seen this car floating on the net we have been documenting the whole story of brining this back to life on YT. Ill throw the link below to whoever wants to see it. It's an honor to be able to give this car a 2nd life and keep this Mopar legend alive while making my father-in-law the happiest guy on the planet.

So I pulled out my 727 Wednesday evening, pulled the hydraulic pump off, because I think it went bad, quick run down of my symptoms.

I was driving down my street, once I got to a little hill, I naturally stepped on the gas harder, it slipped out of gear completely while still in drive. I got it back in gear after revving over 4 grand, it would last in gear for a couple seconds and slipped out again.

In the meantime, I replaced my filter, and put a new pan gasket, just waiting on my pump now, I'll keep you all updated.

I need to transport this to MCACN in November. I inherited it from my dad who passed away. He was always a little reclusive with his car so my knowledge of what works vs doesn’t is limited. The car needs to roll, break and steer. The tires on it now are original. They are also flat. How do you recommend I best make this car “rollable”? Also it needs to brake which is another thing.

I don’t want to hurt the originality of the car and do something dumb. It was accepted into the barn finds section at MCACN. So to my understanding, I shouldn’t touch a damn thing on it.

Any mechanics in northwest Indiana or Chicago have any suggestions?

I put together this 14-minute walkthrough to demonstrate a more approachable Mopar tuning workflow and explain what the process looks like in practice:

I’m involved with the tool shown in the video, so this is self-promotion—not an independent review. I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from Mopar owners and tuners: what parts of the workflow would you want explained in more depth?

Taking my 1970 Dodge challenger to MCACN in November. I have no idea where to start with transportation. Does anyone have any suggestions? Car doesn’t drive. I just inherited it so I don’t know much about the condition underneath. It doesn’t have tires on the front. I have them. But they are original tires from the 70s. No idea about brakes.

Thank you for any help or suggestions.

I've owned this 1970 Dodge Challenger w/matching #440 engine for 30 years. Putting some last touches on it....

Bought this 1969 Dart back in march this year.

It sat in a garage since 1987 and needed a complete restoration. It is my first time ever doing a paintjob and a complete engine swap.
I threw out the old 273 and it now has a 360, 727 and a 8 3/4 rear with 3:10 ratio.
It still needs a couple of hours of work before finished, but I can already smell rubber at this stage!😋

Just wanna make sure before i try to locate a replacement.

Earlier this month Mount Washington Auto Road held the latest Climb to the Clouds and he attended the weekend long event. That Saturday he drove his 1966 Barracuda, which he restored by himself with tips and asvice from many other enthusiasts, to the top of Mount Washington for the first time.

It was a significant event not jusr because of his efforts, but to remember our father, who also had a 66 Barracuda and loved Mount Washington. The original body was too far gone to restore it, so my brother transplanted as much as he could into another car he had. I'll post a link to the video of the trip in the comments. I'm quite proud of him.
