63 Dodge....At last

[duff]

does it have brakes...no

should i have bought this with a 3 week old son at home and another who turns 2 next month...no

do i care about any of this?
nope. (well i do care about the boys)

383 with a pushbutton, been in a barn since 88 and hasn't been started since then. I haven't been this happy since my son was born 3 weeks ago.

Lots of it!

Re: 63 Dodge....At last

SWEET!

The car is home that's the important part. Priorities have a way of sorting themselves out over time.

The fact that it's YOURS is the start of something great, no matter how long it takes!

Re: 63 Dodge....At last

Pretty much all still there. I'm envious. But it REALLY needs a 413 w/crossrams and fender exit headers. Maybe a candy stripe paint job?

I'm with the others. It may take a good while, but I look forward to seeing what you do with it.

Re: 63 Dodge....At last

it needs a lot, and I don't even have a place to put it at my house. I had to stick it in a barn 100 miles away for now. Probably better for the time being with the baby.

Got a little money left over from the sale of my f.e.d. so the shopping can begin. Start with the brakes and just getting it running so it can be moved around before we go crazy with cross-rammed 413s, although the idea has certainly crossed my mind.

Those manifolds cost more now than i paid for the car....

Re: 63 Dodge....At last

its amazing,
after a 4 hour drive to maine from boston to get the car out of a barn, and then another 4 hour drive to new hampshire to put it in another barn, and then a 2 hour drive back to boston, all i wanted to do was drive back up to tear into it.

The last of Virgil Exner's designs. Very nice. Good luck with it.

Re: 63 Dodge....At last

I love that body style! This one belongs to a good friend of mine. It started out MUCH worse than yours. (A tree fell across the decklid and hammered the quarter panel, too.)

Good luck with the project!

Re: 63 Dodge....At last

Re: 63 Dodge....At last

NICE! Great find, love it. Man when I saw the inside shot of the steering wheel, I swear I could smell that old musty car smell...er I mean perfume ;D

Re: 63 Dodge....At last

Nice find!! Those cars can look so cool when they have the right stance and wheels.

Keep us updated.
