Classic Car Mechanic / Garage
 

I have never used a forum before, I don't even know if this will work, however i'm looking for a TRUSTED classic car specialist, mechanic, garage in Doha and i've spent my entire day searching the internet with no success!
Can anybody help or point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Dan, what is the car? I know a few places here that specialise in older cars

Re: Classic Car Mechanic / Garage
 

Hi, thanks for getting back! It's a 1966 Dodge Charger! It runs, chassis and body are fine but I want to get it checked out. The Engine needs a look over, air con needs sorting etc, and over time I'd like to get it up to "perfect" condition!
Appreciate your help.
Dan

Make another post and you can PM. Send me your number and I will hook you up mate.

There's a 1966 Dodge Charger for sale on Dubizzle at the moment. Sorry, that doesn't help.

Re: Classic Car Mechanic / Garage

Got it! No phone numbers!!
I'll figure out how to PM you

Re: Classic Car Mechanic / Garage
 

Have a look at the site rules at the top of the page. There you will learn everything you need to know about posting on this site. Including the fact that now you've made 3 posts the PM facility is available to you.

No phone numbers protects you against less than desirable phone calls. Do you really want head hunters like Scamps phoning you at odd hours? ;)

Ohhhhhh a 1966 Dodge Charger! I am SOOOOOO envious!!!

Mine's a 2010 model, not quite the same, but a beauty and I LOVE it!

Would love to own and maintain one of the older ones! (some would say that mine is an 'older' model it being a ripe old 3 yrs old now!! - and I've blasted 110k kms onto the clock in 18 months :thumbdown:).

Good luck with finding someone who can bring yours to the mint quality it clearly deserves ....sounds like Britexpat76 is your mate on this one!

Oh, and can we have pics of the beauty please?

Or me asking if he's willing to sell it and export to the UAE for a 1/3'rd of what it's worth :rofl:

Re: Classic Car Mechanic / Garage
 

If you insist....:)

Re: Classic Car Mechanic / Garage
 

Ahhhhhh, just lovely!!! Looks to be in FAB condition, altho totally understand your concern / desire to get her checked out by a specialist. Good luck again and do update once you get some results. Bet she sounds lovely too .... what engine?

Re: Classic Car Mechanic / Garage
 

Good question, i'm trying to work that out! It's the 383 and has the original engine, thought that was a 6.3L V8 but the seller said it was 4.5L, bit confussed!
Apparently Engines are quite cheap and you can get them in Saudi?
All stuff i have to look into...

Re: Classic Car Mechanic / Garage
 

Has it got a 727 torque flight gearbox 3 speed & what carb?

Hubs (the expert now dictating what I type!!!), thinks that your 383 is in defo the 6. 3L V8. Take it its the mopar engine??? You can apparently check the VIN no with the Chrysler database ..... will pump hubs for more info ..... he's just walked (stumbled) in with few sherberts inside him - will come back tmrw eve with more info if required .... lol

Ours btw is a measly 5.7 V8 .... goes lovely tho ....

Re: Classic Car Mechanic / Garage
 

Hubs in his past had a 1969 Ford Zepher Mk II with a 383 engine taken from a Jensen Interceptor that did 12 secs on the track ........ hmmmm he's lost me now :blink:

Ours is blue, yours is older and black ..... I fear yours may cost a little more love and dosh to bring into the 21st C ....... but again, good luck & keep us posted!! :thumbup:

Re: Classic Car Mechanic / Garage
 

Only had it a day and i'm no expert! The cylinder heads are green if that helps? Not sure about the torque but yes has a 3 speed!
Interceptor's a beautiful looking car!
I'll keep you posted!

Re: Classic Car Mechanic / Garage
 

Ha! A brand new toy!!! Fab!

Hehehe it was an interceptor engine in a Zepher chassis .... before my time to be honest ...... bless his car headed lordshipness.

Not too sure about the the green heads ...... get yourself a decent specialiist ;)

If all else fails, bring it here to hubs, he'll know what to do with it :D

My husband has a 1972 Charger, an Aussie one, so a Valiant. And I have a 2010 R/T. We love Chargers in my house :D
