Beautiful cars both...GY3 and MM...

But my recent trade has given me a whole new appreciation..

1972 Road Runner / GTX 440 4spd Dana 3.54 Just about to turn 26K original miles..

A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish..

If you love someone set them free..
If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!

I have always wanted an early B body Max wedge clone. 62 Dart or 69 Roadrunner. Funny thing is I race A bodys but I have always wanted a B body race car. The early ones do have the most character.

Same here as I had A-bodies all my life but always wanted a 63 Plymouth Max Wedge looking car and if not for my good friend Ken Wiley I would not have had the chance to get my dream car. I could never afford a real Max Wedge car but a good friend made me a nice deal to get my 63 Sport Fury. Another good person in this hobby. Ron

Mine will most likely go in for final paint in Spring.

I was leaning heavily towards black but your car color is stunning!

Everything fits in the chassis easier, more room to work on things, headers fit a LOT better then on an A body, and they look better in my Oppinion.
A bodies are good for being lighter but that is about all.
