Buying one I believe is the best deal,,,,
There are a number of fast Mopar's for Sale if that's what you want. Just make sure you see it run and it's got a clean title ! |

I have spent it building them myself and I have several in this group. The latter half is where the bang for the buck is. |

Yes Paul, I've seen some of the cars you own that were posted in some of the other threads here that people took at the tracks...so if you had one to pick out of the bunch above, which one would you build or buy.

The 1962 plymouth 383 343 hp savoy i just finished, but there are a lot of good combos in that group. The body alone is prohibitively expensive to buy and restore before you even get to the drivetrain which makes these a less than attractive entry level stocker not to mention the new cars being more attractive to many newcomers over these old antiquated rides.

Please have the good sense to listen to Art Leong one of the top mechanical mind in Stock Eliminator and a Plymouth and Chrysler Authority. My choice for a fun and dependable runner PT Cruiser with Turbo look at last year and this year Indy to see he know's what he's talking about, if you wan't to hear a big V-8 rumble you can have auto tune from your Ipod vibrate throughout your speakers system, or find a good deal on a Volare just like the Ross family bought to run Stock.CR
