Our new vehicle thread looks like it needs some thing in it. I may have posted these pictures since this Henry forum started or maybe on the old forum. My Chrysler is a '85 and I bought it from a older lady in '94 who bought it new. We have had it to a lot of NHRA events in the east and out to Indy and Columbus several times to the drags. Several Florida trips with it. It is still all stock drive train with the 318 engine. It has 144,000 on it now and still runs great with ice cold air and everything still works except I unplugged the power antenna because I got tired of hearing it. I also removed the wire hub caps with the locks on them as I just couldn't stand the looks of them. It has 1970 Plymouth Belvedere Caps on it now and trim rings. My wife and I redone the head liner as it was dropping down in the rear. We drive it now to the car cruises in the warm months. It is always the only one there. People there love to sit in it to feel how nice the leather seats are. I wish my Corolla had seats like this car.

It is a standard 318 2 barrel carb engine. The Magnum air cleaner top is off a Dodge Dakota. I try to keep it clean under the hood.
