I have been restoring mopars for nearly 20 years. This one needed some serious TLC to make right again but it got everything it needed. It has been driven a couple hundred miles since completion last year - both for enjoyment and to get everything working right. Car had been hit early in its life and restored very poorly. I fixed everything that was rusted bent or otherwise in need of attention. Body went on a frame bench prior to final body and paint and was found within spec. both rear quarters replaced. Trunk floor was replaced but the original trunk extensions remain. The front driver and passenger floors had the foot well areas replaced. Doors and deck lid are original to car.

All the peripherals on the motor are dated correct for the original motor (heads. manifolds. intake. carb). The car had a ’68 340 block in it when I got it.

Correct 4933S AVS carb with anti diesel solenoid. Water pump is dated 1970 which was sent out for rebuild.
