Greetings from a Noob to a 1974 Dodge Champion ?Titan?...
I plopped down some long saved up $$ and bought a 1974 Dodge Champion (Titan? IDK)
It's rough...has had some previous interior changes. And I'm sure I have a "Polly Anna" fixation, because I think it's adorable...despite knowing it's likely going to be a money pit.. LOL
I just got it, so first thing is to yank the icky pillowtop mattress out..remove the boards used to support the mattress, etc. The table is missing. Fridge is gone.
I bought it to enjoy day fishing trips, Camping on the river over-nights close to home...to grandkid sleepover fun. I have no plans to take it more than 100 miles away.
It does run- rough, but does run/drive. Needs a tune up for sure. Has an exhaust hole that makes it sound like my '79 Ford 4x4's dual Flowmaster RAWRRRRRR...(*gives me goosebumps) but Husband clearly shot me down saying "That's NOT sexy Babe, That's a hole in or near the manifold...".. HaHa DANG!
Im excited to learn any and all info I can- I will be voracious! I will be looking for/looking up Owners manuals for wiring schema, and repair/maintenance . It's about 20 ft long, has the Dodge M chassis, and the 381 LA small block engine. It does not start in park- but in neutral. Does have new tires!!
I'd like pointed to places I can see what the interior is supposed to look like. All the bones are in place.
Thanks for any help!
