Damn I tell ya I'm tempted. Lot of money, though, just to toss aside a 283/ 350 turbo and stuff "something Mopar" in there.

My dad is thinning out his car collection and this is one of my favorites.
All steel body, channelled over Ford Courier frame
Owner-built in 2005 w/ 6,000 miles on car
283 with tri-power
Turbo 350 w/ B&M shifter
2.78 Ford 8" rear end
11" disc brakes in front
New interior done in 2015
Very solid car.
Runs and drives great.
Price is firm, no trades.
Thanks for looking!
 
There's not a thing wrong with a 283.
 
The Mopar small block is about the exact same size as the Chevy so it shouldn't be a hard swap.
 
Perfect for a 365 horse 327. Those and old Fords were/ are home to many small block Chevy's. Good choice
 
I don't know (And I should!). Is that a mopar grill shell?

A quick photo search says "likely not." Maybe some aftermarket/ generic hotrod repop?

On a side note I was amazed to learn?? that while 31 had conventional front-hinged doors, a 32 has suicide doors!!

Isn't that strange? You'd think suicide doors would be on the older model.
