Originally 318 car.  Now has rebuilt 440 and rebuilt 727TF transmission.  This is not a gunked up junkyard smog motor.  It came out of a 1967 Imperial with stock 10.10 to 1 compression and forged crank. This 440 has been completely rebuilt and rotating assembly balanced with .040 over forged pistons, reconditioned rods, Mopar Performance Purple Camshaft Kit, valves, guides, valve springs, hardened pushrods, adjustable rocker arms, high volume oil pump with new pickup, clevite bearings, roller timing chain, Mopar Performance oil pump drive shaft and distributor gear, Mallory Unilite ignition and wires, TCI SFI 29.1 approved flex plate, TCI Torque converter, Holley 4bbl carb (not new but rebuilt) and headers.  The car has never been driven with the new engine and trans but it gets started and run through the gears on jack stands every 30 days or so and the oil and filter are changed every 8 months.


The car has had the following sheet metal replaced: floors, trunk pan, front valance, rear valance and rear window to deck lid panel.  The original driver's door had a dent and body filler in it so it's been replaced by a good used one.  The original door is fixable and goes with the car.  The floors beneath the rear seats still need repaired as seen in the pics.  The firewall has a rust hole in it too.  Front drum brakes have been changed to disk with all new ball joints and bushings.  The original drum assemblies (spindles, control arms, etc) go with the car as well. The driver's side fender is rusted though at the bottom behind the front wheel, the passenger quarter panel is beat up pretty bad on the rear corner by taillight.  Looks like it was dented and someone tried to pull the dent out.  The windshield is cracked but the rest of the glass is good.  The quarter windows have some scuffs and scratches so I picked up another set at a swap meet years ago and they go too.  The passenger taillight lens is broken but I have an extra complete set of good taillight assemblies that go with the car.  Same goes for the dash, the original one (with the VIN tag) is severely cracked but there is another one in good shape that goes with the car.  See the pics of all the parts.

I think most of the parts are there (except gas tank) to put the car back together....and some extra parts too, including a new set of frame ties.  I tried to take pictures of everything but please ask questions if you want to know something. 

I have a video of the engine running.  If you'd like to see and hear it, copy and paste this into your browser:   http://youtu.be/51C9Jq6gfpw

I WILL NOT SELL INDIVIDUAL PARTS SO DON'T ASK.  EVERYTHING GOES TOGETHER OR NOT AT ALL. I've had this car for 15 years but there never is enough time or money to finish it so it's time to go.  There is no "buy it now" so please don't ask.  

Sold AS IS/WHERE IS.  It runs and moves on it's own power so can be driven onto a trailer.  If you bring a check for payment, don't expect to take the car home or get the title signed over until it clears the bank.  This goes for bank checks too.  Lots of fake "Cashier's" checks today.

Mopar highlights wild SEMA creations, AWD Challenger Concept

Tue, Nov 3 2015

Thanks to 15,345 square feet of display area, FCA US' Mopar division certainly has ample space to display its parts and accessories at the SEMA Show. To lure attendees to check out all of those cars and components, the company is now revealing ten tuned vehicles for this year's aftermarket event. This isn't even the brand's whole fleet for the show, but it includes some major highlights for Dodge and Ram fans. A lack of traction traditionally makes rear-wheel-drive muscle cars dismal to drive when the weather gets slippery, but the Dodge Challenger GT AWD Concept (above) solves that age-old problem at SEMA. In addition to powering all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic, it boasts an angry-looking, wide-body kit with aggressively flared wheel arches. The asymmetrical stripe with Header Orange accents also adds some extra panache to the Destroyer Grey and Matte Black color scheme. The coupe can back up the macho look thanks to the Scat Pack 3 Performance Kit that adds 75 horsepower and 44 pound-feet of torque to the 5.7-liter V8. However, before you get too excited about driving one this winter, FCA US spokesperson Ariel Gavilan tells Autoblog: "It is only a concept." Mopar isn't done tuning Dodges for SEMA. The Charger Deep Stage 3 shows what's possible with the company's catalog by packing the Scat Pack 3, strut tower braces, coilover suspension kit, and bigger brakes. Meanwhile, the blacked-out Dart GLH Concept tries to harken back to the style of the famous Omni GLH by fitting a red-accented body kit, including a Mopar Performance aluminum hood. If the standard Ram 1500 Rebel is somehow too subdued, check out the Rebel X (right) in a vibrant shade called Copper. To be ready for anything offroad, it wears some muscular flares to fit 17-inch beadlock wheels and 35-inch Toyo tires. A concept, two-piece front skid plate protects the front. Drivers should also be comfortable no matter where they drive thanks to prototype Katzkin leather seats and a concept air-ride suspension. Chrysler enjoys some mods, as well. The 300 Super S has suave style with Matte Cerulean paint, concept 22-inch wheels, and a grille with little Mopar Ms dotted around it. Performance also sees a boost with a tuned engine, bigger brakes, and coilover kit. The gray 200 S Mopar is similarly stylish with a complete body kit, including a conceptual, dual-vented hood. Fiat and Ram's commercial models aren't left out of the SEMA fun, either.

It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.
