I don't really want to sell it but I found something else I want more.
This is kind of an unusual car being a Bel I factory V-8, auto trans radio delete. The original 273 was blown up when I bought the car but the trans was rebuilt about 1500 miles before the engine died.
The engine in it now is an early 70s 318 with TRW pistons, Forged 273 crank, balanced bottom end, mild Comp cam, Weiand intake, Edelbrock carb, 71 J heads, HP oil pump, Mopar electronic ignition conversion, etc. Probably about 3k miles on it. I painted the engine to look like a stocker and used the original 65 exhaust manifolds and valve covers. No oil leaks! All the gauges in the dash work. All the lights in the car and outside the car work. I have aftermarket gauges under the dash and a tach on the column, all work fine.
There are tons of new parts on this ride including a newly rebuilt manual steering box, new radiator, ignition kit is all new, upgraded 15 inch steel wheels with nice rubber, new brake system with dual reservoir master cylinder, etc.
The car cruises down the road at 75mph without missing a beat. I had it up to 100ish and it floated nicely.
The interior is okay for a driver, needs the seats redone. I have a sheet on the front seat but it looks like the rear. Door panels have some wrinkles from moisture, factory rubber floor mat has 1 split but shows okay. Headliner is good, dash is nice.
The body has mostly original paint so nothing hiding. Bad thing about the car is the rubber floor mat held moisture and made some rust holes in the floor. The floors are not completely gone but there are holes and they will need replaced eventually. Trunk has some surface rust and a couple pin holes, very repairable. Other than that there is 3 or 4 other small places on the car that need attention. The car shows very well and works great, very nice everyday driver.
For being almost 50 years old, it has held up great!!!
$3500

Man, what a good looking time capsule.

I wish I had the extra cash as I would love to drive the family around in that car.
 
Really nice car, I had it twin about 10 years ago, it had a blue interior.
Radio delete, nice
These old cars just float down the highway.
 
It still looks like a bad *** even with four doors and skinny tires.....that car just has one of the sleekest body styles ever made.

Looks so nice in that color....darn....I wish I had the dough.
 
I have seen it in person. it is just as sweet in person and worth every penny.
 
That's my old motor! Glad to see everything worked out well, sorry you have to sell the car.
 
Okay, the deal I was shooting for fell through, oh well. I will still try to sell this car for a little while. If it doesnt sell, guess I'll keep it.
