Here's a rundown of the basics: Rust free lifelong Texas car (trailered here) with full documentation. 60,000 actual miles, original 273 2 bbl, 904 auto, console, originally A/C (now gone), bright yellow/black vinyl top, radio (not currently hooked up), rallye wheel, power steering, tinted glass.
In the restoration I have added the following NEW parts:
Tires, tinted windshield, arm rests, headliner, seals/weather stripping/wind lacing, carpet, water pump, vinyl top, glove box, starter, battery, master cylinder, brake cylinders, complete 2 1/2" Formula S exhaust (except resonator), battery, gas tank/sending unit, hoses, carb rebuild kit, electric fan. There's more, but you get the idea...
I wanted to keep it as stock as possible, but instead of re-doing the stock front buckets, I installed a pair of nicely matching buckets from a Jeep Patriot. Also the 14" wheels are old school E/T Turbines in very nice condition.
Although you'd never know it, the exterior yellow isn't PAINT, it is a WRAP (my son does this professionally). It is beautiful, durable & low maintenance - just wash it. It NEVER needs waxing.
Since completion, I've driven the car nearly 200 miles & it is a joy to drive. It's been HOT here now, but the temp gauge never goes past the middle.
This is my first (and last) restoration, so the car isn't perfect, but it's REALLY nice, if I do say so myself. Hopefully a MOPAR guy (or gal) who has been looking for an attention-getting RARE car will see this and take it home. I was planning to take it to car events this summer, but the Corona virus took care of that! And now I need that garage space back.
I've priced it at $14,500. No trades.
I'll also include my left over parts (including the complete - but needing re upholstering- original front buckets)
I'm in Northern Kentucky (Cincinnati, Ohio area). Let me know if you're interested. I've never sold a car on this site, & I'm not real computer literate, so bear with me regarding communication. I'll do my best to provide other pictures - including those taken during assembly - & answer any questions.
Thanks,
Mark
