Equipped with column shift. manual drum brakes. manual steering and air conditioning. the air unit in car is al that's there would need pump. hoses and condenser to get that working again.

Also has a Summit racing mini high torque starter that helped with the headers installation and works perfectly without that 'mopar starter spinning" lol. Transmission is the 904 type and was completely rebuilt with TCI shift kit. heavy duty bands and clutches for higher HP engines and valve body was modified for better flow and quicker shifting but not snappy hard that breaks things lol. Has 2500 rpm Hughes torque converter and it all works great. The car runs great and has a ton of power. I have about 150 miles on the break in and would be more but no exhaust yet lol. The car runs and drives with the small rear end but wouldn’t trust it with this power so that’s where the 8. 75 comes in to play to complete the setup. The car is very nice and straight but isn’t a show car or an original numbers matching car. its simply a modified 68 cuda to drive and have fun with. Its a great fun driver. Catches a lot of attention too. I actually flew to the Detroit area called Bloomfield to purchase this car and had a trucking company lined up to haul it home for me and they never showed so this car got driven back from Detroit to Western Colorado where I lived at the time without any troubles. It drives nice and interior sound isn't bad with all the dynamat and padding installed. The car can be purchased as is with or without extra parts. rear end etc. Completely up to the buyer.
