Rare! Only 317 R/T automatic convertibles were made total. This is
one of the most desirable ones to exist considering colors, loaded
with options and condition. It is #s matching and has original trim
tag. 2 owner car most of it's life. We acquired it from a very
fussy Mopar collector. Believed to have 52,000 original miles and
original clean metal.
EXTERIOR: Stunning. Factory F6 red car and the fit and finish is
excellent. Claimed to have all original metal. The body is laser
straight from every angle. Every panel has perfect gaps. Doors shut
like new. Jambs are painted nice, the lip at the bottom of the door
is dry. Weatherstrips, latches and sill plates are clean. The paint
on this car is polished smooth and glossy right down to the bottom.
The white bumblebee stripe really pops. Upfront the bumper is
rechromed, the grill is in very good condition. It does have the
optional turn signal indicators on top of each fender. The trim on
the hood scoop is excellent, has the original antenna. The
stainless all around the windshield has been polished. Dual
mirrors, stainless on each door and handles are very good original.
The optional chrome louver trim on each quarter panel is in
excellent shape. In back the bumper is rechromed, the tail panel is

correct Mopar grain material and a glass window.

including the buddy armrest, am 8-track and cruise control. The
bucket seats are reupholstered. The buddy armrest folds up for a
3rd passenger or makes a comfy armrest. The headrests are like new,
the backseat is excellent original. The side panels, plastic trim,
armrests and dash area are all very good. The interior lights work
front, back and in the glove box. The carpet has been replaced and
it has R/T embroidered floor. Mirror and visors are excellent. The

matching hidden vin on core support and original fender tag is

alternator and a Mopar battery. Factory features include functional
air conditioning system, the compressor looks new. It also features

compartment. Trunk floor is original with just minor pitting and
it's been repainted red. I looked up inside the rear quarters and I
don't see any splices or seams, they appear to be original. The

miles ago. The exhaust is excellent, has a crossover pipe,
Flowmaster mufflers and the correct chrome tips. It has disc brakes

I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
