It's almost spring and this car would make a great Summer Fun Cruiser that presents itself very well at car cruises or car shows.
I have another project that needs to be completed so this one is ready to find a new owner. We have had the car a little over 10 years now. It started life as a 383 automatic convertible and when we purchased it the replacement 383 was not running as strong as it should.
So.... in went a freshly built 440 with a rather lopey cam. I believe the motor is a 1968, but is a non-hp block. It has a Mopar Performance Aluminum Dual plane intake with an 850 Demon Carburetor on it. the Headers and full exhaust are from TTi. It runs and sounds excellent. Just like any well built motor with a TTi exhaust system.
The transmission was completely redone with a "hemi" stall converter in it, the factory high stall converter. This makes it a nice cruiser with good road manners. If you were to race this car I would recommend a higher stall converter.
The tires are like new, the rims are American Racing five spokes. We maybe have driven the car about 5,000 miles since we swapped the motor in.
The paint and interior are the way we purchased it years ago. It is a very bright yellow, it is not the correct shade for this car as it is much brighter for more eye appeal. I have a set of bucket seats that need to be redone and this come with the car.
It has an 8 3/4 Sure Grip unit with 3.55 gears. Trunk floor and body are in excellent shape. This was at one time from California. It has not had any rust out issues. All body panels are solid, the convertible top is nice, but there is one small tear over one of the hinge areas that can be repaired easily.
It runs and drives great, no issues. It is currently in winter hibernation and I need to move it out to make room for another car.
Ask any questions.
Good luck.

I forgot to mention. I converted front brakes to a Master Power Disc brake setup. Complete setup inlcuding the new power booster. There is also a separate vacuum pump on it as well because the cam does not make a lot of vacuum when idling.
The paint job shows very well, this car has always been stored inside a garage and never driven in the winter. The chrome is in very good condition as well.
I do not have the 383 anymore, it was sold off to purchase other parts.

eGarage interviews a couple with 65 Vipers
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Owning multiple vehicles can be a hassle worth enjoying if you're willing to spend the time and the money required to acquire and maintain them. But when it's hard to make ends meet while underused valuable hunks of metal, plastic and rubber sit happily taking up garage space, journeys into the depths of other people's well-developed automotive obsessions will either bring you and your cars closer together, or compel you to sell them off before you become one of those fanatics. A recent video by eGarage is one of those journeys, and it's not for the faint of heart: D'Ann and Wayne Rauh own 65 Dodge and SRT Vipers in a collection of automobiles that exceeds 100.
We're not sure if the couple has developed heat-resistant calves from stepping over Viper door sills made burning-hot by side-exhaust pipes, but we wouldn't be surprised if they did. We did learn that their obsession with the no-holds-barred sports car started in 2006 with a trip to a dealership to buy just one Viper, which goes to show how innocently car obsessions can start. But the Rauhs seem to be doing just fine - perhaps better - 64 more Vipers later.
Watch the video below for the full story and to see what eGarage claims is the world's largest Viper collection.
Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene
Tue, 13 May 2014Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.
Dodge unveils Special Service Durango for government fleets
Fri, 18 Oct 2013Straight off its refresh, the Dodge Durango is slipping back into its dress blues and getting back to work. The 2014 Dodge Durango Special Service Vehicle boasts all the refinements and improvements that the refreshed, civilian-spec model received, most notably a 15-percent improvement in fuel economy.
Designed for police and fire departments, and as Chrysler's answer to the Ford Police Interceptor Utility and Chevrolet Tahoe PPV in the growing service SUV market, the Durango boasts a 600-mile range, thanks to the addition of an eight-speed automatic, available on both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Equipped with the 360-horsepower Hemi, the Durango SSV can tow up to 7,400 pounds (the V6 is limited to 6,200 pounds).
Police and fire department Durangos get a few special features over the civilian models. The electric systems are ruggedized, with a heavy duty battery and a 220-amp alternator in place, while the engine's water pump and oil cooler are both stronger. The brakes are tougher, and a load-leveling suspension has been fitted, too.
