Saying goodbye to an old friend today. Acquired it in 94 from my Father. Enjoyed racing it over the years in many different engine configurations ( all based on the original 360 that came in the car ). Original trans and diff also. Mid 15's to mid 10,s. I will miss it as I miss participating, but it's time for me to turn the page in life a bit. Got plenty of car projects to keep me busy and I will still be "spectating" now and then. Time for someone else to enjoy "land Yacht" racing.

john, i never really noticed until this last pic you posted, but what are the front wheels ? they look very similar to the ones my buddy has on his 64 galaxy 500. they started as 8" wide, but we narrowed them to 6" by re-hooping them. just curious. TIA.

Thats a good lookin boat you had

Sorry to see it go, but glad it's going to a good home.

Out of curiosity why did you sell?
Hope you have another project in the works.

Sad day, I always enjoyed your racing reports with that car. Also, I admire your resolve to sell the car and move on. I'm probably not far behind you.

where is it heading

I understand what u r doing. I did the same. Sticking with a street car, must b getting old.

WOW cant believe your letting it go, but we all do as we must.

Good luck on your current/future projects.

Someone got a very nice car.

Hey John - do you still have your wife's 'Clark Kent' version of Moby? Coulda stuck the huffer on that one and putted around the streets

Ya Jeremy, she still has hers. Even lets me drive it now and then. " No modifications" she said.

I bet that baby has a kicka$$ air conditioning system. Best setup ever for a/c.

Sent you a PM on the wheels.

Ya, it will freeze your azz outa there.

got it. thanks ! i thought there may have been different manufacturers, and you confirmed it. thanks again !

Thanks. Wasn't an easy decision.

After all the time and money you invested in the car I am kind of surprised you are letting it go. It was unique and a real crowd pleser. I always enjoyed talking to you at the races. I guess you are entering a new chapter in your life(like most of us old guys)and I hope there will always be a car involved. Take care an I hope to see you at the track sometime.

Raul

Thanks Raul. Guys like you I will miss for sure. Yes, a new chapter in my life and yes, there will always be a Mopar involved. Attached could show up at the track now and then. Regards, John

That is awesome! Can't wait to see it. Love the trailer.

Raul

Good luck on the sale..... I know how it is trying to sell an "undesirable". Gave the Mirada away. It wasn't as finely detailed as your ride, but it was a 9 sec turn key car.

I just sold the crashed grille off of it at the last swap meet, still sorry about that. You had a long run, hope it goes to a good home.

Thanks Big Jim. Actually, it was Mary's grill you kacked, but whos counting. The replacement grill you sent her is looking good!

Those look like Appliance "wire mags"

My thoughts too. Appliance Wire Mags if you go old school enough. They would be period-correct for that car.
R.

I checked the car out over on the street classics sight. That thing is very clean, good luck with the sale.

Thanks! Dogdays, I found those wheels in the trunk of a 71 Dodge Charger ( junk car ). The fronts ( 15X7) were unilug, while the rears (15X8.5) were counter sunk lug style - 5 on 4.5. Kinda strange.

John:

Looks like a picture from Byron.

I met you and Mary there several years ago.

Change is fun. Hope you have many new adventures.

John

Thanks gearhead01! Yep, Byron. Looks like my pit crew dropped something in the grass. Tires were one of her duty's. Nuther Byron pic.

yep, john confirmed they most likely were appliance wheels. the ones we narrowed were et's, but they had the same center design. according to what i was able to find out, the et version was made from around 1972 through the very late 70's. i can't say the dates of the appliance versions, but would guess they would be similar. they really looked good on ol "moby", but weren't a popular wheel around these parts when they were new.
