As you might expect, I'll highlight the 'pro's' about this car (of course, it is overwhelmingly great
), but I'll also mention the prominent
'con's', as well. On a 45yr old car, you're gonna get some 'cons'. If I had to give it a ratio of Pro vs. Con, it would be abt 85% pro / 15% con.
• About 90-95% of EVERYTHING has been 'Gone Through' & Addressed. If it hasn't been done, that means that I just ran out of time to
do the remaining 5-10%. There are a few minor imperfections such as some missing trim pieces & some filler, here & there.
As for originality: I have dumped all the crummy original stuff like front drum brakes & the obsolete electrical charging system. If it's not original on this car, there is a good reason for it. But, if you want to go back to original, it is easily done.
• EXTENSIVELY Upgraded with Daily Driving for 2012 in Mind (Fuel, Safety, Handling, Comfort,etc).
All the upgrades that you want on a Mopar A-Body!
• Very Good Body, New Paint (not orig color, but a really great, understated shade that gets compliments every time I take it for a drive).
I need to take some better shots when the sun comes out because the color is beautiful - stay tuned...)
Even though, this car's body is probably better than 90% of B/Cudae out there, as usual, this is where the most 'cons' exist, so I'll get 'em
out of the way:
were redone & detailed. There are two 'con's' issues - the back seat (from years of GA sun) had the top split open & crack.
Otherwise the rear seat is excellent. Anyway, Mom made a nice vinyl cover so you don't have to view that split. The 2nd
issue is that there (also from the GA sun) is a crack on top of the otherwise excellent dash pad.
• Excellent Mechanical Shape. Extra-Clean, No Leaks - one could eat off of this engine & compartment (if one really wanted to)
• FULLY 'Rebuilt, correct (but not orig) 273c.i. V8 (4.5L) w/ a HD Rebuilt 3-spd Automatic Transmission
• Most everything has been 'bumped-up' a stage or two - too many new items to list here, but suffice to say that you'll
get Extra-High Performance for a small-block (might actually be around 250-280hp...maybe even hits 300? I wouldn't be surprised) built by a real picky Engine Crafter
• New low (almost 'no') restriction Dual Exhaust System
• New Gas Tank & Fuel System (all lines, pump, filters, carb,etc)
• TOTALLY Rebuilt Front Suspension & Front Disc Brakes
• Steers, Stops & Handles like a dream
• New Tires (w/ less than 3500 miles on 'em)
• Upgraded to 15x8 'Cop Wheels' for that 'old skool' look ( plus they're 5x4.5 Bolt pattern!)
ASKING: $12,500.00 CASH SALE ONLY / NO Trades/ All Costs such as transport, registration, taxes, transaction costs (ie Paypal, banking), etc are responsibility of buyer.
FWIW, I am selling because we had a Baby, so wife says I gotta buy a Mini-Van (Nooooooo!!!!!). I am happy to answer any questions you've got.
The Bottom Line is that one could not build & be hard-pressed to buy) this car to this level for the Asking Price. Anything that can be considered a 'con' on this car has already been discounted, but am happy to discuss.
Come on down & see it. My guess (IMHO) is that you'll want to drive it home through some great country roads on the way back!
If interested, please Send me a PM.

out of the way:
Body Work is Very Good, at 2ft & in the brightest light, you can see some imperfections, but only if you're really nit-picking. Good Chrome & Trim, but not show quality with a few pieces missing. Front Windshield has the typical '1960's haze', but is undamaged. All other glass is Very Good-Excellent. When I first got the car, it HAD less than 1sq ft of rust in the driver's floor, but that was cut out & patched years ago. As such, rust was long ago deleted as an issue, but is mentioned for full disclosure.
• Excellent, Beautiful Interior. NEW front seats (foam, springs & covers). NEW Carpet, NEW Headliner. All Panels & Dash
were redone & detailed. There are two 'con's' issues - the back seat (from years of GA sun) had the top split open & crack.
Otherwise the rear seat is excellent. Anyway, Mom made a nice vinyl cover so you don't have to view that split. The 2nd
