Southern Illinois

Hello everyone I am from Southern Illinois and am the third owner of a 1978 318 4 speed Volare RR. The car still has the original motor, rear end, and transmission in it with about 210,000 miles on it so. My uncle bought it originally in 78 and my dad bought it around the late 80's, and just recently I bought it from my dad. Next summer I will have some money to spend so I plan on building a stroker motor out of a thick walled casting 360 my dad has laying around in our spare parts bin. That is about it for me.

Thank you we also have a 73 RR 440 which my dad bought as his first car and has been with him ever since. We also have a 68 dodge truck which my grandpa bought brand new and has been in our family ever since. We recently picked up a 06 Dodge Charger SRT with headers, magnaflow exhaust, and cai.

So I think I have it figured out now. The driver side seat is really torn up and the car has been repainted.
