It looks to be a US equivalent to our our early gb chrysler galant coupe. Nice. Haven't seen many of them at all around. Looks to be an awesome project. How hard is it to get parts over there for the colts. If you needed parts I'm pretty sure a lot of people over here should have some and i think the early galants are designed to be pretty much interchangeable with LHD and RHD but shipping would be the killer.

The early gb galants over here had the same speedo in MPH and the later models just put a sticker over the top showing both KPH and MPH. My 72 galant has MPH but the 73 has a KPH and MPH.

pretty damn hard!!!

cant find the front windshield. the car had a fresh windshield after the previous one cracked due to heat. then 6 hours after it was installed it was broken by vandals. front and back.

i dont even think my car goes up to 120mph.
well the fastest i had her up to was like 95 on a 35mph zone.

the powerplant is a stock 4g32B backed by a 5-speed from a 76 dodge colt so i dont expect much performance.

Pretty sure those rims are starion widebody rims. I would have thought that clearance between the guards would be the main problem. Pretty rare rims over here.

Yes, they look very similar to the US spec wide body Starion wheels, except their Starion has a 5 stud centre.
