Yep, we've been working on it for a couple months now, doing all the electrical. The car's at another shop, we just head over and work on it there.

440BB Dodge. It's all in, drivetrain and body are complete. Wiring and interior and hydraulics for the ragtop are all what's being done right now. Wiring is horrendous of course, as it's all british, and it's a resto, not a hot rod, so it's gotta look right...

Had the OE 8-track HU fully serviced and got some new speakers for it.

Just picked up parts for the alarm system and a Vigil GPS system.

Pictures to come, soon, I promise

GrizZz, do you know what became of this car?

I've recently become obsessed with Jensen Interceptors. I saw one here in Calgary a week or two ago cruising on 25th Ave SW. I think the colour was "California Sage" (light green). Sound familiar? (There can't be too many of them in Calgary.)

I'm...cripes...at least a year or two away from being able to afford one. But I figure these are rare enough that it can't hurt to start sniffing around now.

Nope, no idea whatever became of it. I'd have to assume that yep, it's here in town and only seen on the roads on sunny moderate days.

Never heard of it but just looked it up now. Sounds like a very interesting line of cars. Strong following too, since it was apparently brought back a couple times, the latest in 2009 using the corvette ZR-1 motor. British muscle, very cool.

Guess I'll just have to keep my eyes peeled.

prod, besides the fact that I happen to like the look of them, I think they're a bargain. They're going for about $14,000 on eBay in decent condition, and you won't find an American car with a Chrysler 440 from that era for anywhere close to that. Plus, four wheel disc brakes, posh interiors...I could go on but should probably just clam up before everybody wants one.
