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.

Dodge lets us drive 100-years' worth of history [w/videos]
Thu, 03 Jul 2014
A raft of important production models from the last hundred years were available for me to either drive or ride in.
Dodge is 100 years old this year. So, as happened on Ford's recent centennial, the 50-year birthday of the Porsche 911, and others, the company has an excuse to trot out the highlights of its history next to its upcoming model lineup, and declare that "these are the fruits of the Dodge Boys' tree whose roots have grown strong." Or something like that. Never so hampered by marketing skepticism that I'll pass up the opportunity to burn someone else's rubber, I was happy to drive out to Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester Hills, MI - former grand estate of the Dodge family - to hear the spiel.
Dodge Dart getting hatchback variant... sort of
Thu, 25 Apr 2013In other parts of the world, Fiat builds and sells a version of the Dodge Dart called the Viaggio, and it appears that in addition to the current sedan bodystyle, a new hatchback version of the car is also in the works. Autocar says that the general manager for China's Guangzhou-Fiat joint venture, John Burton, has confirmed that a new Viaggio hatchback will be revealed by the end of this year before it goes on sale in early 2014.
The Viaggio will soon be joined by the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, which in China will be called the Liberty Light, at the Guangzhou-Fiat plant. While the idea of a Dodge Dart hatchback might be enough to enable most of us to forget about the Dodge Caliber, a North American variant doesn't appear to be in the cards. We reached out to Chrysler PR boss Rick Deneau, and he offered a succinct: "No plans at this time."
Dodge and Jeep recalling 895k SUVs for possibility of headliner fires
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Dodge and Jeep are announcing recalls of a total of 895,000 Durango and Grand Cherokee models worldwide from the 2011 through 2014 model years. There's a possibility that the wiring in the sun visor can short circuit and cause a fire. It specifically affects vehicles built between January 5, 2010, and December 11, 2013, and there are approximately 651,000 of them in the US, 45,700 in Canada, 23,000 in Mexico and 175,000 outside of North America.
Screws that fasten the sunvisor to the headliner may pierce wires in the visor, if the part has been removed or serviced, potentially causing a fire risk. If the wires short circuit, they could overheat and potentially combust. The automakers report three injuries caused by this defect, and according to the investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "there may be a total of 52 unique fire incidents."
To fix the problem, Dodge and Jeep will inspect the vehicles for suspect wiring, and all of the models, whether damaged or not, will get a new sun visor spacer with a wire guide to stop the possibility of short circuits. According to the automakers' announcement, "this condition is not present in vehicles which have not had the headliner or vanity mirror serviced." They will notify affected owners, and repairs will begin in August.
