Title: New in Tampa
Post by: MKA on November 04, 2021, 08:07:13 PM
Just got back in the game :banana: with a mostly original 1970 383 auto convertible.   No history on the car missing the build sheet but highly optioned, Ac, cc, pw, ps, pb, 6 way seat, tow package  :notsure: and a1.  I had several mopars back in the day, 73 Dodge Charger SE 400.  73 Plymouth Duster 340 that was wrecked the day after I sold it.  76 Chrysler Cordoba 360, and a 72 Barracuda that I never got on the road.   I haven't owned one in 20+ years and never like this.  Really happy to be back in the game.  Still working thru some teething issues, car had a major restore but then sat.  Came with New tires dated 1999  :Thud:   Misc other issues, having fun relearning left hand threads and all.   If someone has an extra left hand thread stud rear, I got one off the wrong way  :Thud:   Happy to be here.  Read a lot already.  Cody that steering column rebuild.  Wow. Like how many of you done.

I have lived in NPR, PR, Hudson, and Tarpon Springs.   I like to stay away from Hudson, lol but that side of town is all good.  I miss Howard park. 

Thanks for the welcome all

New Port Richey and Port Richey.   Basically grew up in Hudson and slowly made my way south to Tarpon Springs and then hung a left to Tampa.   Somewhere in between was a 7 year work trip to New York and Charlotte NC but like being in the Tampa area.  Boating and all.

Your right!!
Now 54 is crazy I fear for my life when I drive on that road. You need to keep your head on a swivel.....

Hope I get to see that Challenger out and about.
