|
|
Yeah! Finally a real piece of MOPAR in our little town. That 'll wake the damn neighbours! HAH! This unrestored 69 Runner is powered by a badass 440 motor with a wild cam and standard 906 heads. On top of that sits an Edelbrock intake manifold and a Holley Double Pumper carb. Exhaust gasses are lead through Hooker Headers and Flowmaster mufflers. All this is backed up by a 4 speed tranny and a 3.23 Suregrip rearend! You know it! This baby sure kicks some ass!! The car is imported from Forth Worth, Texas, good ol' USA. Watch a short clip of Marcel's first dragstrip experience here ...burn rubber!! Also a nice clip of his car here... |

||
|
|
Tilly's good friends, Bob & Judy Sights from Hawthorne, California, race this little Ford powered street roadster, out on El Mirage Dry Lake every month during the SCTA racing season, and of course, once a year at the Bonneville Speedway! The car features a glass body and 4 banger engine... Here are the stats on the car as Bob & Judy sent ' em to us: Hi Maurice.... as requested, here are

| Ryan Manson's '55 Chevy Bel Air
& Roadster Pick-up |
||
|
|
Our bro Ryan is from Whittier, California, and has a pretty nice collection of cars... Here you see his '55 Bel Air which he uses as a daily driver. It has dropped spindles with discs up front and it's powered by 350/350 combo. The RPU you see here is recently built by Ryan. It gets power from an early Chrysler Hemi motor and runs open headers!! It's loud as f*#k!! And fast too, with it's 5.11 gears! Ryan currently has plans to start building a bellytanker, to race El Mirage.... Here's a little 411 on Ryan's truck: 1932 Ford cab, converted to modified roadster,
channeled 5 inches, custom windshield, dash, floor, etc. aluminum aircraft
ejection seats from WWII era bomber |

| Carsten Woitenek's
amazing MOPAR collection |
|||
|
|
Bas wants to thank Carsten for decoding the fendertag on his ’68 Roadrunner. Carsten also took Marcel and Bas for a ride in his 440 powered ’69 Plymouth Roadrunner which was sooo cool!! Laying down lots of rubber on the German pavement while looking back at the sad “2 Fast 2 Furious” Volkswagen Rabbit GTI driver! Hahah!! If you are ever visiting a Dutch, German, or
other carshow and you see a guy in whatever kind of badass MOPAR, wearing
glasses and an old leather jacket, who shoots pics of every nice ride
that’s around, then it must be Carsten!! |

'71 Chevrolet Chevelle |
||
|
|
Dré's Chevelle finally
has it's 427 motor inside... And it's badass!! Too bad it's winter right
now. Dré has been able to put some miles on it but now the weather
is getting worse and it would be a shame to ride this thing through the
snow. Oh yeah, tranny is a TH400 and it has a 12 bolt rearend.. More specs will follow in a while. |

| Remko Verouden's 1969
Plymouth Satellite |
|||
|
|
Here's a few shots from Remko Verouden's 1969 Plymouth Satellite, one of our MOPAR-buddy's from around town. As you can see, these pics where taken in the US, before the car was shipped to The Netherlands. You wouldn't tell from it's name but this Satellite really burns some rubber. It is originally equiped with a 318 cui motor but has a pretty wild powersource right now! Open up the hood and you will find a genuine Dodge Coronet R/T 383 H-code engine! It's a devil in disguise... The paint job is mostly original, just like the interior, but that will be re-upholstered soon according to Remko. In a while, the car will get some new shoes. New pictures will be posted by then. Here are some specs on Remko's Satellite:

Tilly's collegue Mark is currently working on his car, re-doing his engine bay, and... The motor that's gonna be in there... The car was formerly equipped with a 383, but he swapped it for a rebuilt 440, for a little more power... As you can see on the "before" and "after" pics, he did a very nice job on that! Next up will be some new paint for the car... More specs will be up soon... |

| Sophorn Sin's
A roadster pick up |
|||
|
|
Sophorn's a good friend of us from the Nor Cal, San Jose area. He runs a sweet little Model A roadster pick up… And, you could say, he pretty much gets around…! As you can tell from the pics. Paso, Bonneville, Bakersfield … He also drove it out to the 2003 Antique Nats. Pretty hardcore… If we tell you that he broke down about 19 times on the way to B'ville in 2002!! But he managed to get there anyway! Here's what Sophorn has to tell about his ride: Well about the pick up…. It sports a 1949-53 mystery motor… Stock transmission, three speed… Juice brakes all around, 3" drop axle, 7"chopped radiator " the flathead killer"… Z'ed 4” in the front and 9" in the rear. 8" rearend out of a mustang I think...? Channelled 4" for a total 8" drop. Plenty of room in the cab..! Ya don sit donky dick stupid in this one! No goggles required… Wind shield chopped 3 5/8", 13 degrees rake, maybe 2 more inches when I get a top for it… Edmunds 2x2 intake and maybe some aluminum heads when I sell a painting… Mooneyes/Stuart Warner gauges. Bell style steering wheel… Black paint mix from left over paint... If you look close enough there is some fine metal flake in it… I guess that's about it. Late.... |

| Geert Schepers' 1968
Buick Le Sabre |
|||
|
|
Maybe you know Geert's Camaro that was for sale for a period of time on the classifieds page. Well, he sold it. But, he still has his 1968 Buick Le Sabre. It has a 350 motor in it and was taken good care of the last 4 years it was owned by Geert. As you can tell from the pictures, the Torque Trust II rims gives it a nice look. Geert is currently looking for a 430 motor to make the Buick go "a little" faster. More detailed specs later... |

All right! Bas finally found a soulmate! Check out this awesome piece of muscle. Besides Bas' Roadrunner, this one is known as the only 1968 Roadrunner running in The Netherlands (if it isn't, please let us know), or at least, we don't see 'm overhere. Ben bought this piece of equipment from a Dutch guy who imported it from California, USA. The car is in a very good shape and it sounds even nicer. Check out the specs:

Hans Anton is the proud owner
of the 66 Stang since 2003. He stripped the car and made it as good as it

| Wilfed Boudewijns 1968
Ford Mustang Fastback |
||
|
|
Ever since I know Wilfed, he's talking about getting his own Ford Mustang. Now, for a couple of years, he has one. He bougth this Fastback in The Netherlands and is a genuine Californian black-plate import. The freshly rebuild tranny behind the 302cid V8 motor, makes it a real cruiser. | |

Wishnu Ville's 1966
Dodge Monaco |
||
|
Again, mopar enters our Friends Rides section. Wishnu, always being very detailed about things, send us his 1966 Dodge Monaco. This car will mostly be used to test certain component combinations, before letting it loose on the Strip. The car was originally equipped with a 383HP, but now a 74 400 resides in the engine bay. This engine currently has ported 452 heads, a Weiand Stealth 8008 aluminium 4bbl intake with a 750 cfm Carterbrock AVS manual choke carb, an unknown performance cam and stock log exhaust manifolds. The 74 727 automatic transmission currently has an inoperative R and low gear. For the ‘test setup’, the car and driveline will be modified in the following way: • Engine block (general): no change The carb and intake manifold will be swapped for an Edelbrock STR-15-TQ
cross ram intake and a Carter 9078S 850cfm Thermoquad w/ Strip Kit prepared
by Daytona Parts Company. Further down the line the following modifications are planned: • Engine block: Chrysler #2532230 426 wedge • Carburetor: Carter 9078S 850cfm modified ThermoQuad Further experiments include: • Max Wedge exhaust manifolds (will they fit slab side C-bodies?) |
