Without a doubt one of the finest examples of ANY 1978 Survivor Car in America... Positively it must be the nicest example of a 1978 Dodge Magnum Survivor Show Car, irst place wins whenever shown in its respective class. Original 53K mile TRUE CALIFORNIA CAR it's never left the state of California since I got it brand new in 1978... I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER... yes I got this brand spanking COMPLETELY & EXCEEDINGLY WELL OPTIONED... car new from West Valley Dodge (Now Defunct) in Los Gatos California 37 years ago...

With separate center folding armrest option... (These are true individual bucket seats not a 60/40 deal!!!) This Magnum was Garage kept since new (still has new car smell... NO JOKE)

This car is as close to flawless condition as one will ever find... this car has never been outside CALIFORNIA In its life... This is a TRUE CALIFORNIA ONE OWNER CAR... Which is a real advantage as cars on the east coast rust away to nothing... this car has never ever been in snow and rarely in rain... The seats are without any mark as they always had soft material placed on them and then I sat on that... no contact between my clothes and the seats is why they look as they do... FLAWLESS!

Motive Power Comes in the form of the ultra-reliable and powerful 318-4V workhorse that runs like a Swiss watch. Starts and runs like a dream... Magnums despite their sporty good and NASCAR Heritage unfortunately were not overly fast compared to a new Hellcat Challenger whether you got a 318, 60 or 400. This car has lightly and but tastefully modified over the years with Carter 6139S Thermo-Quad 4BBL (same as used as a replacement for the 71 Dart 340. True Dual Exhaust without Cats, range Box ignition, /T (Mickey Thompson valve covers which are valuable (Vintage Speed Parts) as they are not common at all for Mopars installed about 1980 long before Mickey Thompson's death in 1988, nd the complete performance distributor kit from Direct Connection. Cosmetically there is practically zero deviance from stock... the main part is expensive painted on strips to authentically duplicate original tape strips.. This has the Extra Heavy Duty 999 5-Clutch transmission Wide Intermediate Band Transmission rebuilt and improved by the experts at Automotive Performance Specialists as seen in Mopar Muscle Years ago... They actually manufacture parts to make a torque flite transmission shift like it should!!!... And does it ever... it's the finest shifting 3 speed torque flite transmission you will ever drive precise and robust

Just installed an NOS MOPAR Grille and NOS MOPAR Lights and NOS MOPAR cornering lights up front... I had for years to make it even more factory fresh. Vehicle was painted years ago at great cost with German Glasurit Polyurethane Paint (MATCHED FACTORY COLOR) and hand striped by a master striper as seen in magazines... he did it in paint to all but very closely duplicate the original stripes... the Original tape stripes in my opinion looked cheap and not up to the caliber of Ricardo Montobalns Rich Corinthian Leather inside the car... So I had the best striper I could find duplicate the strips

There is not one door ding, scrape, hip or anything in this car, lass (Factory tinted all around) is awesome with ZERO delamination... the overall condition is positively a 9.99 Condition out of 10, arpet is flawless, ash is flawless with NO CRACKS and still supple, indows still have Road Ready Sticker on then and original front window has the perfect condition emission sticker affixed from when it was made in 1978, eats are SUPPLE and PERFECT... This car IS NOT like the heaps one sees on eBay typically with rusted floors and blown out motors... this is COLLECTOR GRADE, LTIMATE SURVIVOR GRADE

This is truly a "A+ COLLECTOR GRADE ORIGINAL OWNER Survivor Car"... It is ROAD READY could drive anywhere especially to shows... it's one in a million.. It's not just any car... It's a REAL MAGNUM XE!

This car does not have all the original smog equipment installed that is one reason why it runs so well!!!... Smog Devices would need to be reinstalled to use in VERY SMOG RESTRICTIVE STATES like CALIFORNIA... PLEASE check with your local ordinances before bidding... I will not reinstall smog devices or pay to have them reinstalled!

I have all sorts of documentation and the original window sticker to authenticate this vehicle and its originality... I may even have the check that was originally written to buy the car... Also comes with original Dodge Factory Service Manuals set
