Hi all, long time member here but have since traveled to another vehicular planet. After acquiring,restoring, and driving my 69 Plymouth Roadrunner to Carlisle and back in 2007 and having alot of fun with it, i sold it to remodel my kitchen a few years ago. I've always longed for a 1961 Plymouth 2 door sedan to build but could never find one cheap enough. So back in 2008 I found a 1961 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 2 door sedan to restore for 1500.00 (3:08 posi in it is worth that) It had a long dormant stock 394 2 bl. slim jim auto in it and i was able to bring it back from the dead and actually drive it for awhile. Fast forward to 2012 and I decided to do something different so I got another 394 engine core to rebuild and converted it to a Muncie 4 speed with a Gear Vendors OD (who I bought from moparts vendor Cope Racing transmissions.) I just got the driveline done and it was a real challenge to do the conversion but I pulled it off. You can read about it on a couple of the other forums on the net. Anyway , I just scored a Wonderbar radio core last weekend and would like to get it restored so I thought about the radio guy on here , i think his name is Ward. Could someone post his contact info. Thanks. Looking to get back in another Mopar soon.

We actually stopped servicing GM wonderbar radios a while back . We just had too many radios coming in and we had to cut back on wonderbars , Older tube radios, and 8-tracks in an effort to just concentrate on the 1960-1974 AM , AM FM , and FM conversions.
