MY MAGNUMS - 02/15/09 02:42 AM

Don't see many around at shows or on here, so I thought I'd share:

This one I bought new in '78, my first new car. Awaiting resto. I'll probably add a moonroof or t-roof. This was probably one of our best Mopars we've ever owned. Never, ever failed us. (still have the young lady too!!)



This one I bought in '92, pretty much saved it from a certain demise. Had been pretty much left to rot, needed exhaust, and maintenance items. Factory official's car for Dodge. Came originally form the Michigan UP. Every option available except the Rallye dash.


Bought this one as an Ebay non-sale. Another loaded car w/the exception of air conditioning!!!!
Great cruiser and gets more complements than the above white Magnum!! (cream one isn't mine, but I've sure tried to buy it!!)

Some nice cars, Bill!

Thanks!

I see you've got a 56 2dr. sedan. Can you post or send me a picture? Always liked the 55-59 Dodges, I've had several over the years.

Yep, nice cars. Haven't seen a Mag for awhile, although a yard near me has 5 Late-B Cordobas. No T's, no 300s, but two sunroof.

Sooner or later, you'll hear from me.

Maybe me sooner!!

Appreciate the kudos. I'd thought about maybe doing a MagnumForce clone with the red one, or pick up another one. Also, I've got most of the parts to do a 4 speed conversion.

Here's a pic from when I got it...there should be some fresh progress pics posted in the next month or two as the weather warms up.

Yep. I got 2...one's a hardtop. Dad's got a Custom Royal Lancer, so it looks like what you US guys are used to. I never really liked the backs of them...always favored the Plymouths. When this deal came up I first thought it was a mix'n'match. Little did I know...

I've had 2 "N" code GT's with t's, but can't find the elusive "P" coder. Still looking......

You didn't buy it?

Nice Magnums, Bill. I'll keep you updated on the red GT I sent you pics of.

I thought that Migsbig had one for sale not that long ago? Looked pretty clean and the price was right

I love the T-tops on those cars!

Great cars Bill. I was always kind of partial to that white one myself.

Red is my favorite color, but I really like that white one.....

Red's my fav. too, but these cars look better, IMHO, in a dark color.

Re: MY MAGNUMS - 05/20/09 01:06 PM

I'm thinking of selling the red one, one of my old reg bigblock GT's is up for sale, not sure what shape it's in.
It's almost the same car as this red XE, red gut, and a 400.

Hope to add that slant 6 Magnum that Russ found to my collection.

Do you just collect these cars or do you accually restore them? I'd love to see a restoration thread on one of the late B-bodies. I used to own a 75 Charger SE and thought they were pretty cool. Especially the Daytona model.

Mine and a couple that I'm watching for a friend..

That white and blue one is my favorite! There wasn't a better looking car after 1973 IMO.

White one is more of a restification, fixed what it needed, red one's my driver, and a black one (not pictured) is my first new car, and will be my first tear one down and rebuild it project.
