I used it to pull an open trailer, and then in 1995, I bought a 24 ft enclosed trailer and used it to pull that. I hauled a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T show car or the Challenger race car. In 1999 I ordered 1999 V10 dually so then I quit using the Macho. I originally ordered the Macho with 3.23 gears. The very first time I pulled with it I realized that wouldn't work. I then put 4.10s in it, man, that woke it up!! The year of my Macho, was the first year to have lock-out hubs, and the 360 had a factory 4 barrel on it for the first time. As you know they came out with a Carter Thermo-Quad. I have an Edelbrock on it now for years. If you don't mind havinh a car pic or two on this website, here is a pic of the show car and the Challenger. oops. Had to post Challenger separately- said file too big.

Well, it doesn't get driven except in and out of the enclosed trailer. The rest of the time it just sits in my garage under a car cover. It isn't good for anything except for shows. If I drove it once it would be ruined for the 95 - 100 points that it scores at car shows. Yes, the engine does run. Got too deep into the restoration to a point of no return and had to finish it. Don't think I would want to do another one.

Roger....
Any chance I could get a good picture of the tailgate for decal placement, as I am restoring an 80 Macho in Impact Yellow...
Also, could I get a good picture of the original wheels too....
