So you want a 440 that’s more powerful than stock but still retain the outward appearance of a stock motor (including intake and exhaust manifolds) and still being streetable. Such was the challenge for an engine builder in Canada. What can you expect for output? How about 500 lb-ft of torque and 380-plus horsepower? Find out what they did at Street Legal TV.

Today’s reader’s ride is Steven Mick’s 1972 Plymouth Duster. It started out as a Slant 6 car with a 904 auto and a 7.25 rear end. But now it has a 360 (out of a 1977 Chrysler Cordoba), Keith Black flat head pistons, Mopar Performance Purple Shaft Camshaft, MP High Rise single plain intake manifold, ported and polished original heads, Edelbrock AVS 750cfm 4brl carb, A833 4 spd transmission and a 8.75 rear end. Steven says, “I still have work that I would like to do but with some fine tuning still needed she runs great!” More pics after the jump!
While looking like barn finds, this collection of dusty cars is actually in a private collection in North Carolina. They are not for sale but this “barn” houses some very nice Mopars. Find more info at Barn Finds. More pics after the jump!
Now here’s something you don’t see every day: a 1971 Dodge Demon with an El Camino type conversion. This one has 340 power and an automatic. Gotta love the slots! More pics from the eBay auction after the jump. Too bad there are no shots of the bed! Thanks to Mike and Ron for the tips!
Would you drive this?
Finnish people love their Mopars too! Check out Street Legal TV for more info on this muscle meeting in Finland. Video after the jump!
Check out all these Mopar B-bodies rotting in a field near St. Louis, Missouri. And they are all for sale! More pics plus the Craigslist ad after the jump!
Enjoy open air motoring while surrounded by rich Corinthian leather. It doesn’t get any better than that. Said to be one of only seven that were build by Emess coach builders, it actually looks quite attractive with the top down. Top up, not so much. See the story at Hooniverse. Check out the original eBay auction here. More pics after the jump!
It’s been 50 years since Plymouth rolled out the world’s first pony car, even before the term pony car was coined. It came into the world quietly, grew to intimidate the competition with big blocks, hemispherical combustion chambers and SCCA racing, then bowed out quietly just as the fuel crisis hit. Read a great recap of the Barracuda at Hemmings.

You’re looking at a 1971 triple black Dodge Challenger R/T equipped with a 426 Hemi and a 4-speed that was sold new at Norm Kraus’ Grand Spaulding Dodge in Chicago. This one is all business and there are indications that it was driven hard early in its life. I like that. See more detail at Muscle Car of the Week. Video after the jump!
