My first yank in all its glory......beleive this car is history now......paid £800 in 1977......pic taken at a SMoke City Wheelers meet.

£800




If only .........

£800 and only 8 years old

Don`t ...... my Dad brought a `67 390ci R code Cougar XR7 in `87 for £350. Four years later i begged him not to sell it for £300.....he said he had had his fun

The only cars that fetched big money them, were hemi or 440 6 powered B or E bodies and suprisingly Vettes. Fords and chevies were peanuts, i had 2 cougars, 2 mustangs, a galaxy, numerous chevies and they were all cheap but i couldn't afford a decent big block E or B body, that's why i bought the Dart but i dont regret it one bit. That little 340 opened a can of whoopass on quite a few BB's and it handled well with the GTS package.
The 390 was renowned for being a boat anchor, although a friend took me out in his 428 cobra jet and that was quick.

Nice one Les.
Did you blast it up the 1/4 ?

That was my old Charger too, I sold it to Gary Mills for £1300 around 1979. Didn't have Bullitt Proof on it then, also had wolfrace on it

I drove that car to a Dealer in the old Kent Road after about 6 mnths of owning it......did a straight chop for the K code '65 Muzzy Hi-Po, guy didn't know what he had

No Gary, that was the only car I never took down the track....all I remember is that the 230hp 318 would spin its std. rears when I stomped on it from traffic lights, so I put the N50x15's on it, it only chirped them after that and took off. But I reckon you were looking at mid to high 15's with it on the N50's...and dead stock motor.

Les, that's where I got it from, I did a swop for my Pontiac Parisian (Arizonian County Sheriff ) car, It's the one on the right of the pic.

Les I had the dash out of it when Gary Mills smashed the rear quarter he scrapped it you would have restore it now. Could have had Armets superbird for £2400 and my 68 coronet didn't have the money sold the coronet for £500 and bought a 69 Dart GTS for £350 those were the days

Well thats a hell of a Dealer then?.....maybe there was some profit for him somewhere along the line of swaps......

Yes it was easy peasy in those days, everything you ever wanted was for the taking, selling was a breeze as was buying.......I sold the K Code muzzy in a week to buy the '71 340, and sold that in even less time to buy the '69 'Cuda......those were indeed the days!!

Yep R.Runner That,s it
