I have bought
this car from a lady who divorced her husband. Found it at a
car show at the Mopar Mini-Nats in Garland, Texas. Took a
look at it had to have it. The car had rust under the vinyl
top and on the quarters and the motor was shot besides other
things. The car is a lot different now, then when I first
bought it. Took about two years to get the car until she
went down on price. Guess what I have it... Owned it for
about 6yrs. Removed the vinyl top because of the rust
problems that these types usually have. Also the car has the
original interior with the original radio. Found a 440
original year block from a friend of mine, an it made my day
because it is correct for the car. He Ha!!! The new motor is
a 440 6-pack changed it to a fuel injection motor.
Has a Haltech Fuel and Ignition Timing Computer on it, to control
all aspects of the engine. It has a 6-pack crank balance
internally, 6-pack rods peened, Hypoeutectic pistons,
hydraulic roller billet cam, T&D roller rockers
(1.60In)(1.65Ex), Ported and Polished and motor is balanced.
The cc on the heads is 81cc. It has a MSD6 digital control
box, Mallory Distributor lock in at 10 degrees because the
computer controls everything. Flow masters exhaust system 2
1/2, sub frame connectors, 8 3/4 rear end with a 3.91
Strange gears and Strange axle bearings. The
compression on this car is 10.6 to 1 runs super unleaded (93
octane) puts out 600 screaming ponies. All this power is
delivered though a 727 tranny to the rear wheels.
There is alot more on this car then what meets the eye but
it will take me a complete sheet and then some. This car is
a 12s car. which this makes my boy happy. One of my loves of
my life are my Mopars. Which I also own a 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda
which I am restoring. There are very few who love Mopars
which is why I am sending a picture of this beauty. The
first one I ever owned was a 1968 Roadrunner 383 and the
speed got me hook on the Mopar cars. MOPAR To You
All....
