Got the car on the road at last. Had a run around local at the weekend, shakedown run. Drives nice, brakes are , I would say adequate. Needs the carb tinkering with or the timing. We run a different octane fuel over here. Will meddle around with the car as I go along,although there isn't that much to do to be honest. Overall I'm happy with the old Mopar. Had years of fast big block B bods to rort around in, nice to be pottering around for a change. .........pipe and slippers next!!

Not sure if this is the correct section, mods please move if not. I am wanting to fit a tow bar or Hitch as you call it. I want it hidden somehow when not being used. Anybody made one up, any pics, and ideas appreciated. Thanks.

Don't worry Mike ,staying stock. It's a bit raggy round the edges, no rot ,just faded paint ,the odd chip and mark. What they now call a survivor car. I've had top notch paint before, unfortunately me being me, I use the cars ,so they always end up with the odd scratch ,ding. This suits me fine, lived in and shabby chic.

Hello Bob Two newbies to pester people with questions. Don't know if it's a factory colour, there is a similar colour in the above resource section. It looked a definite blue in the ad pics, that could do with the glorious Nevada sky, not the gloomy grey were used too. Ha ha.

You can find out on the web !!. I'm saying nowt. Going to be keeping it more or less stock. Wanted something stock, more usable and economical. Got the V8 thing out of my system, so I'm looking forward to Flattie 6 motoring. If it ever gave up ,I might fit a small block( Mopar of course). Although reading up on the 6 ,they are pretty robust motors.

Will check out Andy Bernbaum site. Busy on tinternet soaking up info on these cars. Had tyre smoking 60s B bods before, nearly bought one of these 20 years ago. There was some legal ************** with the car so I walked away. Kept an interest in them, looking on the web etc. Knew I was destined to own one, just had to get the B bod ,drag race itch scratched. So here we are 20 years later ,finally in the driving seat. One thing that impressed me about these cars is the attention to detail in the design and the aircraft type panel gaps and engineering Yes baggieboy ,you are the other side of the hill..,..The wrong side ha ha.!!

Put a few posts on here already ,but yesterday I officially became a P15 owner. Picked up my Business Coupe and trailered it home with my brother's 59 Apache. Looking forward to tinkering around now and getting it on the road when it warms up abit. Not that much to do, a few lights out, vac wipers do t work, need to fit some discreet indicators somewhere. Hardest will be finding some door locks over here. Any UK members any ideas?. Sure I will be pestering with silly questions, I'm new to these old girls ,but not new to Mopars.

Nice car, nice colour Bob. I'm a newbie too. Been going over old posts trying to get to know these old Mopars. Seems to be quite a few over here.

Just had a look at it. It's at £8k now, I myself wouldn't go much higher Downside is four doors, not a desirable model or year. The Exner years Mopars don't have a great following in the UK. They are Marmite cars. One plus is it would make a great wedding car, get it earning it's keep. Shame just sold my 65 Coronet ,that would have put a smile on your face ,flat out.

Thanks Plymouthy.. straight to the point like I wanted. Regarding service manual, there a bit thin on the ground over here. My fault for being over here, will try and source one on t, tinternet. Or if anyone has a spare they want to sell or can source one over there PM me I will arrange payment and shipping. Thanks .

Evening all, I'm new to the forum, new to old Mopars, I have looked over past threads and checked out the resource and technical sections but can't find the info I want. What sort of lubrication system is on these old flatheads, full pressure, top end only, or splash fed. Excuse my ignorance, just soaking up all the new info.

Craigslist Nevada.

Got this on the way to jolly old England. Been heavily into 60s Mopar muscle cars for the last 15 years. Sold my rip snorting 65 Coronet. Change of pace in life, ( older) . Always liked these,nearly bought one 20 years ago, was still young and daft then, now old and daft.
