New guy trying to learn to speak Mopar

[roughcut]

Welcome, to best car forum ever!!
I am in North Houston, almost Tomball. Right off HWY 249.

Excellent! I need a local Mopar guru.

Welcome from Kentucky.  When you find your project, don't say you plan a frame off restoration!

Another welcome from Canada. Mopar speak is a deep throated VROOOM, not a rattley BRAAAP.

Welcome to the mopar world you have found the best forum,with so much knowledge. Hope you find your project soon but be sure it's as complete as possible. Have fun

2 pages in and no one has mentioned the beloved Fratzog

Unfortunately you will learn it's a very expensive language

[roughcut]

Yes, I'm beginning to realize that. It's OK. It's only money. 

[Filthy Filbert]

Well, the top 2 have been hit already...   Sure grip and six pack/barrel.

So I'll point out that a 383 is NOT a "stroker moder"

Welcome to the site! I just noticed this.... I know it's not a 1970 like you wanted but, I thought it was a pretty nice looking car and price seems fair too? In ,Texas, maybe worth a look for you?

Here's my interpretation of what the model designations stand for:

A-Body: Affordable
B-Body: Barely affordable
C-Body: Cheap
E-Body: Expensive

I famously got in trouble for telling a customer with a duster that it costs the same to restore a good car as it does a "Dart".
I like darts,  but I know if you restore an A body, the paint isn't any cheaper. Or bodywork, or blasting etc.
Get the best e body you can find , and go for it.
