I am listing this car for an older neighbor who doesn't own a computer. He
has owned it for over 15 years and used it primarily as a parade car.

He found it in a Dodge dealer's warehouse where it had been stored for some
time. It had been redone some time prior to being stored so the
'restoration' is probably around 20 years old. This being the case I would
describe the car as being a '20-footer' with the paint and bodywork having
some blemishes as you would expect due to it's age. There are a few small
bubbles around the rear wheel wells and some cracks in the paint on the left
rear quarter.

The engine is a later 318 which runs good but could use the valve seals
replaced as it will puff some smoke upon start-up. It might have a small
exhaust leak that is noticeable when the car is first started. The car drives
good and is dependable. I noticed the heater core has been bypassed. The
gas gauge works but will occasionally stick for a bit. The top is power and
works.

The trunk is solid and the frame rails appear to be real nice. One floor has
had a small patch and the other 3 look really nice.

This car will be a great car for someone who wants an eye catching parade
car or cruise night car but doesn't want to invest in a high dollar restored
car that you are afraid to drive.

He's asking $8500 but will listen to serious offers.
PM me here for more info and pics.

Thanks,
Dallas

That would be a cool car to get. The bulge hood and rallys are nice too. Price is not too bad especially if negotiable.

Is that a 69 bulge hood?

Was it originally a 340 or 383 or are the hood and stripes just cosmetic? Or was it a slant six?

Column shift or console?

I the roof new/good and does it work well.?

Thanks
 
a running, driving convertible that looks as good as this one for $7,500 sounds like a heck of a deal for someone

I don't know what year the hood is. The car is basically as he bought it nearly 20 years ago. I think someone tried to make it look similar to a GTS.

It was originally a 273 V-8. He had a later model (80s?) 318 put in it years ago when the other engine got tired.

It has a console shift.

The roof is the one that was on it when he bought it but it's in decent shape. I lowered and raised it last fall and it worked ok.

I've misplaced my GG white book but the car is 1 of something like 541 GTs that were equipped with a 273 engine.

Thanks for asking,
Dallas
