I haven't had this car long, but I found the car I have always wanted and this one has to go.
So here goes.
It is a factory 340 Swinger. 4-speed, 3.91 gears, Top Banana yellow. It has a pretty stout 340, a rebuilt 4 speed, and a nice 3.91 gear that leaves some very nice black streaks behind the car! It has an MSD distributor, 6-AL ignition, Mopar M1 intake, headers with oxygen sensor bungs, new clutch, and brand new Mancini racing mini starter. Has a later b-body pistol grip shifter in it. The 340 is a '70.
The body is solid, but not perfect. It has bubbles over the quarters, in the decklid, and on the drivers door. There is one hole in the front floor pan that is the size of a quarter, but it doesn't really look like a rust hole. Who knows what the car has been through!? Looks like it was a vinyl top car, or poor prep on the c-pillars as the paint is bubbling up, but not like rust bubbles. The trunk floor is super nice, but there are 4 holes from the brackets a fuel cell was installed with, and there is some discoloring from a hitch being removed at some point. The frame rails are perfect.
It does have the fender tag, but I haven't looked for a build sheet.
The interior is pretty good. the radio has been changed out for a tape deck, but I have the original, along with the original seat belts. The seats don't have any rips, but there are threads seperating on the front seats. It is a bucket seat car. Rear seat is nice. Package tray is not original. Door panels are nice. Dash pad is nice. Carpet is decent, dash has aftermarket gauges in under it, and a tach on the column. The cluster will need redone, but most of the gauges work. The gas gauge works occasionally. The dash lights work,but are pretty dim. Glove box opens nicely, especially when you get on it. hard. The headliner needs replaced. The sunvisors are also bad. There is a hole on the front of the headliner that is covered by the sunvisor when up.
All the glass is good, heater is not connected, but the fan works. The car was supposed to be a race car at one time, so the heater may have been disconnected then. Or the heater core leaks. Idk yet. Has a Tuff wheel, but I am not sure if it is a repop or not. I think it is. But it is nice.
It has disk brakes on the front, small bolt pattern on all 4 corners. Could use some new rubber. The front end seems to be original. It is pretty tight. The car has subframe connectors and Super Stock springs.
I really like this car and enjoy driving it. It needs some clutch/shifter adjustements, it needs an o-ring or two on the speedo pinion, and needs some tuning. I drove it almost constantly from the Mopar Nationals weekend until the 30 day tag expired the first of September, when I put it in storage. I was moving and didn't have time to play with it any more. I start it once a week and drive it around the storage lot. It does need a bigger carb, the 600 on it is NOT enough for the 340.
I am asking $10,500 and it is somewhat negotiable.
Again, I really, really like this car, but I came across a '69 Bee I have wanted forever. I have a deal roughly negotiated, and this car has to go. Someone will enjoy it, I'm sure. I sure have!
The car is located in Westerville, Ohio. Suburb of Columbus.
