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.

Indications of 825 hp and emissions issues for Hellcat called 'speculation' by Chrysler
Tue, 16 Sep 2014The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is probably one of the hottest cars of the moment mostly because of its insane, 707-horsepower supercharged V8. However, there are conflicting reports coming out that the powerplant might be having problems with its emissions compliance and may be capable of even more power.
Jalopnik says that an unnamed source within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles told it that the Hellcat was having problems meeting emissions standards at its 707-horsepower tune. The person claimed that the automaker has been testing the V8 with different types of sensors, possibly to make it a bit cleaner in the future. Autoblog spoke to SRT spokesperson Dan Reid, and he said about the claimed poor emissions, "It's totally speculation."
The source also claimed that the Hellcat had been dynoed at a monumental 825 horsepower, internally. Based on the other rumor, though, it's hard to imagine the engine being emissions compliant like that. Autoblog also asked Reid about this speculation about more power and was told, "They are totally speculating about that."
Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
NHTSA investigating power modules on Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans
Mon, 29 Sep 2014The Center for Auto Safety is officially petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to begin scrutinizing alleged problems with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on about 24 Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans. The advocacy group claims that the part's failure can cause affected vehicles to stall or not start at all. NHTSA is still looking into the accusations and deciding whether a full investigation is actually warranted.
The CAS petition claims at least 70 TIPM failures, but according to NHTSA, six of the complaints are for models that don't have the modules. In 34 of the reported cases, the vehicles refused to start, and in 17 of them the engine stalled. There were also two allegations of smoke and one of a fire. However, none of these affected airbag deployment or resulted in a crash.
This petition isn't the first TIPM-related problem for Chrysler Group. A recent report in the New York Times alleged that it found 240 complaints potentially related to the issue on NHTSA's website alone. In September, the automaker also recalled 230,760 examples worldwide (188,723 in the US) of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango replace the fuel pump relay circuit inside of the TIPM-7 with one external to the unit. The original part could allegedly cause the models to stall without warning. Even earlier, the company also recalled about 80,000 examples of the Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Nitro in 2007 to have the module reprogrammed.
