1968 Hemi Runner, I've been wanting to restore this car for a long time but don't think I'll get to it. I bought it around 1990 from a fellow who had it for a year or so. He found it disassembled, resting in a garage in Redford, Michigan. We went to see the car and when the fellow opened the door, all you could see was tools, equipment and roofing materials, car was nowhere in sight, after they moved all the stuff, there she was all apart, lying on her left side with the roof against the wall! We (with a lot of help) picked up the shell and put on a trailer, then proceeded to load all the boxes of parts. He said it was taken apart in the early 80's.

The floors look nice, trunk has pin holes, left quarter is ugly from a repair, you'll need one unless you know a magician. Glass is nice in the parts car, so is the heater box and dash. Car has been in dry storage for as long as I know of, probably 30 years. Hemi torque boxes are there. Frame looks excellent.

Lots of stuff was missing, no engine, trans, bell, starter, interior, and seats were trash! so over the past 20 plus years I kept buying parts at the meets. I have so many parts included with this car its hard to list and photograph everything. I'm can take photos of anything you want to see.

I recommend coming here to view the car and parts, Detroit Metro airport is only 30 minutes and I'll be happy to pick you up.

New Legendary door/rear panels, carpet, seat covers, then trim parts, wiring harness, extra hood, NOS fender, and a 68 Coronet parts car for trim, seats and heater box.

I found an unmolested std bore Hemi block, (passed Mag), its a good date from another 68 car, got a 18 spline trans , bellhousing  and starter and lots more including front suspension parts, steering, pulleys, intake, rockers, plug tubes, valve covers, cam, lifters, push rods, etc.

I don't have rotating assy, carbs or air cleaner.

An NOS gas tank is included as well as a NOS fan shroud, new sending unit, mounting hardware, etc. I really tried to buy everything needed to restore it, so there are many boxes of new stuff.

The rocker gear was disassembled, rockers have been cleaned, checked the bushings, polished the top rib, new adjusters, and are ready to go.

One head is perfect, one is not. I was gonna get some aluminum stg 5 heads and a stroker kit but you can make you own choices.

I have nearly all NOS trim for the car (plus some doubles) but will sell that stuff separately to the buyer if they want it, if not I'll list it later. I will not sell parts for the car that I've mentioned here, and the NOS stuff wont go until the car is gone.

The hardtop car is pretty rare and probably not too many in bright colors either.

Car is currently in blue primer but you can see the original color QQ1 in several areas.

If you want to buy the car and need a restoration shop, we can build the car for you,  maybe its a consideration, its what we do.
