Isn't he the guy that bought the purple 71 charger turbo car? Ya sometime that. Haven’t heard from him unless he changed his Moparts name.

He posted in June, but nothing about the Haze. IIRC, he knocked a couple pistons out of it not long after he got it and it hasn't been put back together yet.

I know all about those cars that sleep in darkness. I have one I’m about ready to wash, wax, and build a glass display case around it.

The last thing I remember about it was, he drove it over to a friends house...... and when he went to leave it locked up when trying to start it.
One of the exhaust seats fell out of it during the heat soak after shut down........ another Stage 6 victim.
He sent me the heads, several of the seats were moving around as I recall, and he didn’t want to put that kind of $$$ into them.
I seem to remember him selling the heads to someone....... then from there I don’t know what happened.

OT, but....... Stage 6 heads have been pretty good to me 😈
I don’t mind working on them, as long as people don’t mind paying to have them fixed.

I hated dealing with those heads.
But I did know exactly who to send customers to, to have them fixed!

Too bad to hear it fell victim to owner neglect.
Valve springs in race cars don’t last forever.
I don’t remember when I went through those heads, but yes...... it was quite a while ago.
It probably should have had several sets of new springs since then.
