[FONT="]A California car with clear title (non-op) and build sheet. Car was dark silver with black interior. Had NO rust inside except a little bit where someone mounted the battery in the trunk, and the exterior had it in the normal spots – filler panel and passenger rear quarter (see below for new body work and these new panels). Engine is a 340 (warranty block, standard bore, honed), 11.1 earlier model pistons, stock rods with full floating wrist pins, new: crank, bearings, cam kit, rings, aluminum intake, aluminum heads, double roller timing chain, oil pump, water pump, gasket set (engine still in pieces except crank and cam bearings installed – professionally), with single 4 barrel Thermo quad (professionally rebuilt), 904 Automatic (but I also have the 727 drive shaft), slap-stick, and stock 8 ¾ rear (no internal work done). I believe the car had 144K miles on it before it was parked with a blown motor back in the early 90’s. I picked it up about six years ago. I have receipts for all new parts and body work completed. I have approximately $3,000 worth of Year One parts and OEM purchases, around $500 worth of PST parts, a few hundred from Legendary, the dash was redone by Just Dashes - $1,000, a few hundred bucks (plus) of Summit engine parts, $2,800 in body work to replace bottom part of the passenger side rear quarter and new filler panel and a couple touch up areas, plus some more money spent I’m sure! The front and rear seats are fully re-upholstered (metal painted, new foam, new burlap, new covers) – professionally done. I have new: front and rear valences, brake lines, brakes, brake cylinders, most of the weather stripping, emblems, carpeting, flip top fuel cap, fuel tank and sender, door latches, motor mounts, and bumpers. I can provide a list of all the new parts if you’re serious about purchasing, but just about everything is new, only a few more new items in my opinion should be needed, unless you’re way more anal than I am. This was meant to be a very, very nice driver, mostly original. All disassembled fasteners were put in zip lock bags with a note inside telling where they go. The only pieces of the car that I know for sure are not included are the front windshield (was cracked anyway), the vinyl top, exhaust system, shocks, stereo speakers, flex plate, air cleaner and the air conditioner – maybe the converter, but not sure, I would recommend a new one anyway. I would count on a few other miscellaneous items missing as I was not the one to disassemble everything, but nothing bigger than the items noted as “not included” above (just trying to cover my a$$ in case I forgot something, I’m not trying to be deceitful). The engine was disassembled by the previous owner, but the car was just about totally disassembled by me (doors were not removed) and I started the ground up restoration. It’s now a roller again, mostly primered (but still a little body work needed at the rear panel where the “DODGE” letters go between the tail lights), it’s painted Por15 (black) on the bottom of the car, rear wheel tubs with rubberized undercoating, and Por15 (silver) on the inside of the car. It’s now waiting for someone else that has the time, energy and a few more bucks to finish it up. I’m asking $8,500.00. [/FONT]
