hi bb,
yes i like them too! my 68' is and old dirt track car from nebraska. i raced the old bird at i80 speedway. for 4 years. when i moved out here i race her out at river city at run what u brung in 06'. front end is getting bad, motor, tranny, brakes. are going south. before i race the old bird again i need to fix a few things. but still a fun car to drive. specially in the turns get the old bird
sideways nobody can get around you! that's what i like! but then again the boys can spin you out! but i've been hit in the drivers door soo many times. it should be flat! but it's not. acually
the old bird is pretty strait for her age. i have bertha still! and i'm very proud to own my car, i built

 

That is sweet you own an old mopar racer. I didn't know that 68' cars had the dual hood scoops, thought that came out in '69, and '68 r/t coronets and superbees had the power buldge hood. any how thats cool you hold on to it instead of being a moron and junking her.

 

HI BANDIT,
i bought the old bird as is! front end was messed up, the front original bumper, the grill, head lite buckets, desroyed! all i know is that car had functional hood scoops. i sold the scoops back in 1992 for $150 bucks each. they had 383 magnum on each side. and what was left of the engine
she had a 383hp block. but it was ruined. the block was cast with thedate on the side of the block andthe date was 05-01-68. i took the rest out of the old bird and rod bearings dates were the same. give or take a few months, but they were constistant. the transmission was a 727!
sorry guys my race car now has a 318 w/360 heads, and intake is 2v the heads are 4v!comp cams extreme energy cam 488/491 lift, 274 duration. the cam is dual pattern grind! it likes 4bbl,
hi rise intakes, headers, dual exhuast. mine are 2 1/2 open, no mufflers, staight pipes! i have to run a cool plug,runs cooler and its quieter to. even with no mufflers. i beat the guys at the race
track, my db 78 with no mufflers, staight pipes! yeah! go figure!
