redraptor SOLD! - 02/13/14 01:55 AM

Posted my latest project on Craigs a few weeks ago. It was a cheap and fun hobby for me when I was laid off and transitioned over the last 4 years thru hard work and help from friends here at home and here on Moparts!

I appreciate all the help and advice I received for a project I knew little about.

Surprisingly my wife was sad to see her artwork go down the road but she still retains the talent. The couple that bought it want the dino on the side without question, I might need to get a new avatar.

That's right. I'll probably never be without a truck. Just not sure what my next project will be.

Only owned that for 4 years. Not hard to let go. But when you own something for nearly 20 years.

LOL! I was rear ended in my 63 impala 4 door by a Pontiac like that one. I was pulling out of a gas station when he pulled in...I drove 5 miles and had my blinker on turning off the hwy when he naild me at 70 mph... put the 400 in the front floor of his, put my back bumper up to the rear seat on the 63.

hey I drove a couple 69/70/71 LeMans GTO wanna be and a 69 gran prix back then also.

but changed my ways with my first 71 fury-I HWY Patrol car and then a 67 R/T,73 340 duster,76 Dodge Charger Daytona,76 aspen R/T,79 ramcharger,68 dart,85 stepside.88-440 fleetside looking for my next one.

even did a couple Rampage/Daytona 2.2 and d-50 trucks

Some of you guys took a while to learn things I learned in my first 2 years of driving. In my past was Daddy's 64 Olds with the 394 4bbl. For some reason, after riding around with my friends one night, the transmission didn't work the next day.

Next up was my 1st car, a 69 Buick Lesaber, such a fine car, 3 motors, 2 sets of rear wheel bearings, and 1 trans in a years time. My 72 Plymouth Satellite Sebring + was my first Mopar. In 7 years of abuse and around 70K very hard miles, tires, tune ups, brakes, and 1 trans rebuild was all I did with that Plymouth. Wasn't hard to figure what brand of car I needed.
There have been a whole lot of Mopars that have resided at my house over the years that carried my family many hundreds of thousands of miles. Any other brands were here to make a quick buck on, or were on the way to the scrap yard. Gene

My grandpa had one of those. White with black interior and black vinyl top. Model JP. Dunno what moder as I was too young.
My Challenger reminds me of that car. Big, powerful, comfy. And now I'm the grandpa.
