CJoyner Posted March 12 Share #23223 Posted March 12 It is a 1966 or 1967 Dodge Charger. I had a '66 back in the day and the "scallops" on the side are distinctive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted March 12 Share #23224 Posted March 12 C. Joiner is spot on. A '67 Dodge Charger. The proud owner told us how much he spent restoring it, and my friend (an economist and financial analyst, as well as being a car guy) remarked to me how he'll never get his money out of it.) Your turn to post the next mystery car. Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted March 12 Share #23226 Posted March 12 Restoring cars, unless you are starting with a very rare and valuable car, nearly always loses money. I lost money on restoring my Porsche 911 RSR, originally a Penske built car. Taking a car back to bare metal like I did is an expensive process and just to give folks an example my invoice from ARP just for bolts and nuts for the engine rebuild alone, was over £4,000. If I had opted for titanium fastenings, it would have been four times that figure. Each Ohlins corner strut was over £2000. I nearly got my money back (about 90%) and considering I had had 13 years of fun with it, it was not a bad deal. Wilson 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freekin' computers. And yes, you are correct. It's my favorite 1967 Lancia Fulvia Coupé, now outfitted with the rally type "Fanalone" headlight setup: Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! The so-called kit I got to fit this headlight configuration was, shall we say, "a bit more work" to install than the write-up it was advertised with suggested. (Every piece along the way needed to be custom fettled to get it into place correctly...). But I think it came together quite nicely, after two months of messing with it and I don't want to remember how much money. Far more impressive than the quality of the headlight kit was the performance of the Leica M10-R that I made these photos with. The ones outdoors (second and third) were done in extremely contrasty sunlight and looked awful on the camera's LCD, but the M10-R recorded detail way down into the inky blacks and right up close to saturation such that I was able to pull out a nice set of record shots on the day the job was finished. I'm waiting now for the next really nice day when the lighting will let me do some better beauty shots of the car. Thanks for letting me show the car in its latest configuration...

IkarusJohn Posted March 13 Share #23231 Posted March 13 Lovely, Godfrey. I’ve always wanted an Alfa Romeo GTV 1750 from the late 1960s. Sadly, I’ll never be able to afford one of the lovely restomods. I’ll keep dreaming! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I’ll never be able to afford one of the lovely restomods. I’ll keep dreaming! Thank you! Back in the day, I had the '71 Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider Veloce and my older brother had the '72 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000 ... both lovely cars! My last Alfa was a 1979 2000 Spider Veloce that had been updated with the 1982 2L Bosch EFI engine and a lot of various suspension, light-weight bumpers, and other stuff, all in bright yellow. It was a fantastic driver if not very original ... Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! All of those cars are valued far, far higher now than they were when I and my brother owned them. But the Lancia Fulvia, both Coupé and SportGT Zagato, were always what I had my eye on at car meets. They were just so difficult to find at prices I could afford. I finally said to myself in 2021, "They getting old, and I'm getting old, and if I don't do it now, it will never happen..." So I hunted, found one, and have been working on it ever since. This last project, the Fulvia's Fanalone headlight setup, marks the end of the project. Everything else has been done, and the Fulvia is now exactly what I envisioned when I bought it in 2021. It drives and handles well, it's fast enough for this old man, it sounds great, and it makes me smile every time I take it out. What more could I want?

wlaidlaw Posted March 13 Share #23234 Posted March 13 The problem in northern Europe is that 90%+ of Lancia Fulvias are as the saying goes: "Rotten as a pear" due to winter salt on the roads and the total absence of anything approaching rust proofing. I had a lovely dark blue Fulvia 1.3HF coupé, with tweaked suspension off the 1.6HF, 1.6 HF wheels, Konis, the Solex 38mm twin choke carburettors replaced with 40mm Dellortos and Nardi cams. I just could not keep up with the endless bodywork, so sold it for a BMW 2002 Ti. Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramarren Posted March 14 Share #23235 Posted March 14 Yes, same problem in most of the USA, except for the southwest. This car was sold new in Los Angeles and 'saved' by becoming derelict there about 1981 or so ... Some engine problem caused its owner to tear the engine apart, and he got busy, and it sat on the concrete-faced lot behind his motorcycle shop for twenty years. The guy I bought it from found it in the "for parts" portion of the LA Times when he was there for a business meeting ... It spent the next 19 or so years coddled in a dry garage in Chicago area after a new engine was sourced and rebuilt for it, only taken out for a few annual rides to car meets and such. Now back in CA, I keep it in a dry garage and mostly avoid driving it when it's wet out ... sometimes it can't be helped. A year ago I found some rust blooming behind the front wheel wells/inner fenders. I had a good local shop remove/replace the corroded metal, treat the whole area with a corrosion resistance treatment, and paint it. I'll keep at it as problems, both corrosion and mechanical, emerge for as long as I am capable of driving it... hopefully another 15-20 years. At 58 years old, it's a senior citizen and needs to be cared for as such... It's only twelve years younger than myself, car years are harder than human years, and I know I appreciate the respect!

wlaidlaw Posted March 17 Share #23239 Posted March 17 Looks like a Silver Ghost. As it has well based rather than beaded edge tyres, I am going to say from 1912 (our 1909 is running on high pressure beaded edge tyres). Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
