Yellow 1968 383 4-speed GTS
1968 383 4-speed GTS..........Power drum brakes.......
Original motor is long gone..........It now has a high compression 514" 400 with cross bolt steel main caps, Bull Dog heads done by Dwayne Porter, custom ground Comp Cams camshaft spec'd by Dwayne Porter, M-1 single plane intake, heavily modified 1050 Dominator, Ram clutch, blow proof bellhousing, aluminum case Passon Hemi 4-speed crash box with syncho on 1st gear only, 4.10 Dana with spool, 6 point roll bar, frame connectors, drive shaft loop, fiberglass front fenders and front bumper...........Car weighs 3,615 with a full tank of fuel and my 200LBS in the seat........Car has an MSD 6AL under the battery tray with a blaster coil........Car idles pretty smooth and runs and drives great.......
The driver's side exhaust manifold is from LTD that I've modified........It didn't fit right so I cut the 2 1/2" pipe off and moved it so my exhaust would be able to go above the center link.......I also have an unmodified driver's side manifold off of a '69 383 Cuda..............It's got 3" exhaust with an X-pipe and Dynomax Ultra Flo's that are turned down at the rearend.......
This is a serious street/race car that looks like it could be a resto-geek's car to the casual observer.......It's NOT for your wife or an old, frail man to drive........This is a MAN's car.........
I have the original console with tach that have both been restored......I have all four full face hubcaps that were restored back in the early 90's, but one is banged up from coming off while driving it at the Mopar Nats, so it never got fixed and they never got put back on.......I also have another set of 4 good used full face hubcaps that are unrestored and go with the car............I have the original 23 spline trans and original bellhousing that go too.........The car has the original radiator in it that's been made into a high effeciency 4 row........Car has the original door panels and dash pad and it's not cracked......
Car has run 10.69 @ 127.6 @ 4,100 feet DA......This is a very nice car that I bought from the original owner in 1987 out of Brandenburg, Kentucky..........I did a ground up resto on it in the early 90's, so it's showing a little wear..........
Here's a link to a thread on Moparts about it; http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=Racer&Number=5297283&fpart=&PHPSESSID==
Here's a link to Hemmings Muscle Machines where they did an article on it last year http://www.hemmings.com/mus/stories/2009/10/01/hmn_feature14.html
There's a lot of info in those two links about the car........... $49,500............ Consider possible partial trade..........Car is in Oologah, Oklahoma, which is about 25 minutes North of Tulsa.........I'm only selling to finance finishing my race car.......
If you're interested in the car but not the drivetrain, I have enough parts to build a pump gas 438" 383 and I could put the 23 spline back in there......I don't have the original 8 3/4 with 3.23 suregrip, but I could round one up and swap it out......I can also pull the roll bar out and replace the carpet, since it's got holes for the bar, install a new speaker shelf, and pull the subframe connectors off..........I'd do all that and keep the racey parts for $44,900............
The front bumper on it in the pic below is chrome painted fiberglass........I scratched it so now it's just painted silver........
