. the engine and trans will be rebuilt due to it sitting for 6 years. needs alot of body work and interrior need to be redone. when we restore it will will put one of those 3 ring intakes on and super charger on . don't know how much power that will gove it. but when its done, the gas guzzlin beast should be ready when i get my licence, hopefully at leats drivable. but right now (when it was running) was 9 mpg (miles per gallon), but will probably be around 7mpg when were done with the thing. LONG LIVE THE AMERICAN GAS GUZZLERS!
At least it will not be left to rot out in the woods.
ill post some pics of it when i get the chance. . don't know exactly how true that is though, have 2 see 4 myself when i get it running again. also, im gonna chrome the bumpers and paint it the orginal color, metalic blue w/ white racing strips.
. We all got excited and took the whole cover off. My grandfather took some pictures and Nathon took the truck and went to get the trailer from the house (which was about 2 miles away, its a pretty good sized farm). We hauled it back to the house (and the parts we could find that were to it), where my grandfather accepted it as a gift. My grandfather has a picture of me sitting on the wing , I will see if I can get him to bring it over next time 
. He fully restored it and then some. But he didnt over restore it like some people do to the point where its too restored to drive...
yea i will since no work will start on it until this summer when i get a job for the first time and start putting money into only getting the beast running. tthen the other necessities will come. the car usta be like i said metalic blue w/ white racing strips, when we finish the body work we will paint it the same as it was. Its gonna be sick when its done. my mom wants it to be junked but i see alot of potencial in the car. pics will come soon!Originally posted by Cano
in a 475 hp engine a blower should give you up to about 550 to 600hp if correctly tuned with the whole engine. of course, it can get stronger, but on racing gas, with higher compression, etc. you MUST check all that before upgrading the engine.
also, it is way cool to hear someone has a cool car sitting in his garage. can you snap a few photos of it, in its current state (sitting)? PLEASE???

My grandfather's (his name is Bill) Charger Daytona was one he rescued from Illinois. Here is the story of how he got ahold of it. His friend, Nathon, back in Illinois (Bill is twice his age, he knew Nathon's father) had just inherited his dad's farmland (he hires people to farm it). There was an old barn (a good sized one) near the north east corner where he hasnt really been and we (I was with them) went to check it out. After a little drive, and some walking we made it to the barn. We had to break open the lock. We peered inside, then went in. At first we just saw a bunch of old stuff. Some paintings (no, not fine art paintings), old farm equipment, etc. It was actually found by mistake. I was walking to the other end of the barn to check it out (its quite big, but not big big) as I saw some old tractor and wanted to see it. Suddenly my foot hit something hard (was loud) and I tripped and sprawled to the floor. Bill and Nathon came over and asked the usual, "are-you-alright?". I said, "yeah that I just tripped over that bar over there." We all looked down, it was a drive shaft. At first we thought it was from just a tracktor but Nathon happened to spot a small Dodge engraving on it. We knew that Dodge had made some tractors but we also knew his father never bought one from Dodge (all he had were John Deere's and Ford tractors). Half of it was under something kind of big. We didnt know what it was as it was covered in some junk. After we got the junk off we saw it was in a tarp kind of thingy. The shape was somewhat familiar to me, but I wasnt sure. We took off the first end. A 3-ft wing stood in front of us
good luck
