Vehicle Description
This is one odd car that I picked up in a trade. I have too many other cars to finish so I am letting this one go. I do have a clean title for this car. It was originally a 318 / AT. It now has a 440 / AT 727. This engine is very strong. I have not had it dyno’d but I would put it over 400hp, but like I said, I did not have it dyno’d.

The guy I got it from told me what he could about the car , but he bought it from a guy who bought it from another guy, so I don’t know how true the things he said are but;
Here is a brake down of the car:

* It is painted from nose to tail with a bed liner, chrome and all. (radar can’t pick up the car)
* Both the hood and trunk are bolted down. (to prevent them from opening at high speeds and they do still open correctly)
* Hood has a large hole wear there was a 6-pack scoop.
* There is no windshield wiper motor or linkage. (Engine was ducted to the cowl for forced air intake sys)
* The interior is pretty much stripped besides a Racing bucket in the drivers position and the back seat.
* There are toggle switches for the headlights, one to disable the tail lights, one to disable the brake lights, and one to engage the starter.
* There is a choke cable that pulls the license plate down into the trunk.
* There is a 25gal-30gal fuel cell in the trunk with a hole cut into the trunk lid to fill it. (I am not sure on the size of the fuel cell)
* I have not seen any visible rust damage on the car but it is hard to tell with the special paint.
* The car has had a hard life and the body shows it. It has small dents and the under carriage shows signs of going down dirt roads at high speeds.
* Somebody cut holes in the rear posts, then covered the with sheet metal and bondo (no Idea why?? It is repairable)
* The car was built for serious speed for long distances, Why ??, I don’t know and your guess is as good as mine.

With all this said, The car does start and run very well. The guy I got it from put a new 727 A/T in it. It has a B&M floor shifter that needs to be adjusted and the front suspension replaced. I have to apologize for the pics but it has already snowed in South Dakota. The engine has been covered with a trap under the hood to keep the snow out of the air cleaner and engine. I wouldn’t suggest parting the car out, besides the drive train their isn’t much left. If it slowed the car down it was removed. The car would need to many parts to return it to show room condition. This car would be best if it was restored to the odd duck that it is. Let your friends stand around and try to figure out the past of it. You will also be guarantied that there is no other one out there like this one. Please e-mail me with any questions.

It's my guess that it's a very tired old rust bucket that's probably marginal at best. There's probably good reasons why it's covered in SNOW (from last year as I doubt that they've had snow there so far this year).
Having been around back then and owning old Mopars myself, trust me....they don't last that long in areas where they salt roads unless stored. The undersides and bodys rot away badly.
A good 440 is worth alot of money these days so if it's even got a 440, it too is probably in poor condition.
The other so-called mods are all things that either a teenager or hillbilly would do so IMHO, it's not going to be a decent car for anyone else.
