Nice ride, look's clean, dash looks awesome, should be a pretty easy project. I would probably lose the stripes though, LOL!
Yes , those 70's stripes are killer man !! LOL !!

Nice staerint point and cool dash! Wanna swap a pair of 68 bumpers and brackets for those wheel trim rings and centers?
Thanks, but the car is 100% complete (just apart for paint , 8 years ago ) . He is the second owner since 1976 ( his high school car).
A side note about the rear wheels , he had them widened to 8 " by Stockton Wheel in 1979 for $20.00 total , ah the good old days ....

It has the right letter in the VIN (H) for the HP 273 but who really knows beyond that . There is alot that is not correct on this car , motor , hood emblems , 3rd member ,4-speed , .... I don't really care about all that , I'm more of a gear head . The guy was super fussy about everything in his shop ( model airplanes , gokarts , guns ) that I just got a good feeling about the deal , he says the motor really goes like a bat out of hell , I look forward to putting it to the test .:smile:
Nice find Steve, tach, 150 speedo and the bezel looks great

She's a beaut Clark!
The designation in the VIN for 273-4 should be "E".
Yes , that is what it is, I had the " H " in my mind but the VIN is an " E " .
Any updates on this one Steve??

I think if the stripes just went along the side like the hockey sticks it would look cool.
Thanks guys !! I have the new carpet in place and the PO gave me enough material he had left over to have my seat guy fix the drivers seat . So all the interior looks real nice even though it is 70's style . I put the motor and trans back together and hopefully will have it in the car on Sunday . I got it registered ( no skeletons on this one thank God !!!!!!) and have a temp license because I wanted to keep the custom plates (6CUDA7) and they take some BS to get through the paperwork ....
With any luck I will putt it around the neighbor hood late Sunday !!!!
I will update my Daughters 63 Valiant too because that one is ready to drive sans paint .

Are the wheels all 14" or did he put 15" on the rear when he had the 8" made? I like those centers as the ones I just got from Wheel Vintiques have round center dome on them. Still need to find the trim rings, 2 each 14" and 2 each 15".
Sweet find. Love the dash and instruments. That engine looks cool with the MOPAR ex manifolds. My 340 has that same torker II intake but with a 1" riser. Will be an airgap soon unless I just build a stroker from a 360 and pull the 340 intact to keep it from being blown up.

They are 14's .
Spent more time fooling around yesterday then getting anything done ( did manage to get the seats mounted though and pretend to drive LOL !!) , then took my Son to the Warrior's game .... All in all a good day ...
Yep, you need a release to transfer the license plate to your possession.
Personalized plates in CA are owned by the person and do not go with the car.
