The car is 75-80% original. The interior is 98% original, the only things that are new are the carpet,and the headliner. everything else, untouched. The car is a factory a/c car. The motor is not stock. it started out as a 68' 383HO. the block is the only really stock part and it was bored over .30" and decked .08" the crank & rods are balanced, w/forged pistons and a 3/4 race cam, the heads are off a 85' 400ci. So it can run unleaded gas, I port matched and polished the heads, and had oversized valves installed (see pic) just to let you know how much larger, the small valve in the pic was the same size as the original large valve. The head was also decked .08" with a edlebroc performer, dual plane highrise, with a Holley 850cfm dual line dual pumper 4bbl sitting on top, Factory Mopar performance cast iron headers (from 426 Max Wedge), to a 2.5" mandrel bent tti crossover dual exhaust. 2300rpm stall through a 727 cable drive 3spd automatic with shift kit and mopar performance clutchs and bands, and finally through an original 3.23 posi rear end.


My son Ryan grew up around muscle cars, He loves mopars, and this car is, in Ryans case, a lifetime comming. He's seen this car all his life, and he and my son Brett have helped me to restore my car for the last 10 years. (Note from Ryan)"Trust me when i say pictures do not do this car justice. You are speechless when you hear this thing try and idle. You cant belive that the interior is all original and 42+yrs old. My dad did not rush anything he did everything right and payed attention to every detail. He even sandblasted and POR-15'd every nut and bolt, then painted it the correct color."
