This car has the origional # matching 318, auto, and a new 8-3/4, 2:76 sure grip. not that the sure grip means anything! It had 72,000 miles before I left. (Origional) This car had sat since 1980. before I bought It. The engine was stuck when I bought it. I free'd it, did a crylon rebuild on it. (degreased, new gaskets, a timing chain set, and painted it with car paint acrylic enamel and a paint gun) I could'nt accualy paint it with a bug bomb!! It looks like new. The origional air cleaner element was there, and like new! (or new back then from a dealer) I used mopar hoses & belts, new date coded plug wires,windshield washer tank, new gas tank, brakes,The origional drums were almost like NOS. I dipped them in acid. Turned out like new!! New torque thrust wheels/BF,s radials. including the spare, new trunk floor, and painted the roof. it had a vinyl top. new carpet & head liner.
And had no time to test drive it. only to the way side (2 miles) I had this car stripped of glass & all the parts to paint it. and ran out of time. so I put it back togather again! It was a tough decision, but it has so many hail dents I would'nt have made it. if i am going to do it I want it real nice! It has cheap seat covers. I could'nt find real covers for a 4 dr. and we were off!. I only blew out the two rear shocks leaving detriot. on a severely rough off ramp! I was'nt the only one. I also put dual exhaust on it. with correct R/T tips & hangers. W/ flowmaster muffs. sounds nice! one tail pipe came out when I hit the bumps also. had to wire it up for a few miles till I could get to a safer place .
The trip was awsome.
would do it again!
