Did LA where I met some of the people working to get me cars and also met up with my shippers. Then headed up to LV for SEMA and had a few meetings with Richard Rawlings again, and met Dennis and some other TV guys to talk about the future.
Anyone know of a decent 69 that doesn't need much for 20k-25k? I have a friend who is getting discouraged looking for something. Doesn't matter too much what trim level. Big Block is desired. Craig's list and eBay is full of scams and flippers

Hi everyone. I was hoping to get some direction with my inop back up lights. When I put it in reverse they flash but that's it. Is there a switch with an adjustment in the shifter mechanism or do you think it's just a bum n/s switch?
Been a member forever here. Haven't posted in a while. Here's my latest purchase. 66 Satellite 383-4speed. Bought it as a parts car to cut up for the 4 speed for my Coronet. Car was to nice to cut up, and everything matched numbers wise. Got a title and drive it everywhere.9433]
Just bought a 67 R/T. I had been looking for a Road Runner for a while and this popped up and I couldn't pass it up. It is my first Mopar. I helped my dad restore his 1966 Satellite. He had to sell it due to health reasons and at the time I couldn't buy it. I tracked it down, but the current owner isn't willing to part with it yet, so my wife suggested I get something to work on with me and my 5 year old son.
I really wanted a road runner, but most are either complete rust buckets (way more work than I wanted to tackle on my first car, or have eat up my wallet), or they were all more than I wanted to spend as they were fully restored (which takes out a lot of the fun of working on as a father son project). So while looking my uncle sent me an 67 R/T that need some work and it reminded me how much I loved the look of the 66-67's. I did one search and came across this R/T and couldn't be happier.
My dad and I drove up to look at is and had a great trip. We went out for a test drive and then bought it. It has a 66 383 in it as the original owner used to drag race and pulled the motor to race with then put in the 383. The second owner, who I bought it from, put a cam in it, high rise intake, Holly Carb, new manifolds, belts, hoses, bushings, and a bunch of other stuff. Has new interior and most of the chrome is good but does have some things that need to be replace, rear molding panel and taillights, front grill surround, need the instrument cluster cover and glove box cover redone, as well as a few other standard B-Body moldings.
It has a few mechanical things that need to be done, he mounted the alternator incorrectly when they put new belts on and the belt is sloppy. It needs an alignment from the bushings being replaces. It also has a slight shake and clunk that my dad and uncle think is from the U-Joints and they need to be replaced. Going to take it to the shop in the next week or so.
Super solid underneath and has been repainted once, but original trunk and engine paint. But overall for what I paid for it, I fell like I got a great deal!
I had it trailed down last week and he came up and we all went for a cruise. It was a blast! This has really brought some joy to my dad and he is as excited as I am. My son loves it too! I took him out and gunned it and he screamed like a girl! It was hilarious! He immediately said, "do that thing again that made me scream daddy!" He has helped me wash it, learned how to polish chrome and detail the interior. He couldn't believe he could lay down completely in the back seat and it was big enough to take a nap in. He was also blown away that each seat seat had it's own little storage compartment (cigarette holder)! My parents cracked up when I told them that.
I have already done a few small things to the car and am looking forward to asking questions and learning more here so I can do more things myself instead of having to take it to the shop.
My first question that I have and my dad could figure out either is that my trunk lid (which is original) has two emblem holes on the left side in line with the DODGE lettering, but there is no emblem there. My dad said the holes look factory, but we can't figure out for the life of us what was there. I scoured the internet and could only find two images that had an emblem there, but they are too blurry to make out what exactly it is. Both were just vertical bars that look to be about 1" by about 4". Would it be a dealer emblem maybe? Any input is greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I stumbled across this site using the old Google machine.
Just bought my first '67, I've always wanted one but couldn't find anything more than basket cases up here in the salt belt.
Found some good info on here already!!
