Engine and under hood
Original 383 replaced back in the day with a seventies 440 cid. in good running condition.727 Push button torqueflite shifts very smooth.
8 3/4 Sure grip posi about a 3.25 gear,I have not counted it exact just turned the tire and counted it.AC converted to r134a and a cycling psi switch.All new AC hoses and dryer.Repaired the gas tank and installed a liner in it.Had the radiator cleaned repaired and a new lower tank installed.New water pump and all new belts and hoses,also manual heater water cut off.Installed an edelbrock aluminum intake with gaskets and valve cover gaskets, note the engine was very clean inside.New points and condenser,overhauled the thermoquad carb.Rebuilt the alternator and installed new electronic voltage regulater.New battery.new fuel filter and air filter, changed oil and filter.Power steering and power brakes.Rebuilt the master cylinder and wheel cyls, replaced the hydraulic hoses also.It has older dual exhaust with no leaks,I did here a noise when driving that might be a pipe rubbing on something.
Body
True to most mopars of this year the car had rust on the fender bottoms and behind the rear tires.Replaced the bottom 8 inches or so of both front fenders with fender patch panels..Replaced lower 8 inchesor so behind both rear tires with patch panels and rebuilt the rest of any rust around the rear tires with metal.I have pics of all of this repair,just ask and I can send them.Replaced the bottom of the spare tire well also.Any other small repair was cut out and replaced with new metal before body work.I left as much of the patina on the paint and tried to paint match the repair areas.It is not a perfect match,the car is faded different from top and sides.The whole car has been jamed, all 4 doors and the tailgate and under hood also.The bumpers have been strightend for best results.The fiberglass hood scoop goes with the car but has not been installed,view pic.New spare tire and original jack also.All the lights and blinkers work also.Original roof rack.The rear leaf spring shackels have been relocated back in the day to raise the rear of the car.
Interior
The interior was done to please my wife,if she is happy anyone will be happy with it.She will not get into just any old car.All the metal trim was removed and repainted including the 2nd and 3rd seats.Repainted the dash and all the trim.New front and second row seat upholstery, the thrid row seat is original and does have small stains and imperfections,view pic.The rear inner quarter plastic panels do have cracks in them but are very thin from the factory and I did not remove them fearing they would break to pieces.I built all new door panels and either repainted or redied any other trim,view pics.All the gauges in the dash work and also has aftermarket ones at the bottom of the dash for oil press. & water temp. .All the windows and door locks work.The 2 speed delay wipers work also.All working AC, heat and radio.All new headliner panels also.
Summary
I want to be as honest as I can be about this car.This is a original old car that I have fixed and repaired as needed.In no way am I saying it is perfect and it does not need more work.I have only driven it around the block and it has pleanty of old car sounds,bump,bang, clunk, snap, pop.It is not regestered to drive legally on the street and has not been scince 1996.We have been working on it off and on for 8 months and am ready to go on to another project.I am ready for some one else to take it and make it there own.What a family cruiser are better yet pull your race car to the track like they did back in the day with it.I am sure I have left out things so please ask any and all questions.The car may be viewed during the auction.It may be and I encourage a 3rd party inspection.No problem delivering it to the pilot truck stop here in Hewitt.Thanks so much Mark
