1 of only 327 made 440 4-speeds made! Even better yet, it's a
factory red with white interior car. Original fender tag is
attached to the car. It was treated to a rotisserie restoration in
2012 by the person I acquired it from.
EXTERIOR: Factory Performance Red car wearing a black hood patch
and white side stripes. The body is excellent, straight and there's
no signs of rust or damage even after 12 years of being finished.
Repainted its original performance red color and it's wearing the
black hood patch and white side stripes. It has a very smooth
glossy finish with just a few minor imperfections. The grill and
tail panel are very good original condition, the bumpers were
replated. Optional fender turn signals. In the video is said the
lenses were cracked, they are not. Correct white Mopar grain power
convertible top. Some 15 inch Torque Thrust wheels with meaty
radial tires were added to make it a better driver.
INTERIOR: Factory born with a white interior. The door panels and
armrests were replaced. The dash area is very nice, not abused or
altered. It has a factory tachometer in the dash and original AM
radio and it's correct location. Down on the floor it has good red
carpets and original 4-speed console in nice shape. Seats have been
reupholstered. Interior lights work throughout.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Correct date coded 440ci with correct 906
heads, correct intake and exhaust manifolds. Correct Carburetor,
original wiper motor, fan radiator and shroud. Bored 30 over new
pistons, cam, rebuilt heads making about 500 hp, I'm told it's
fast! Reproduction plug wires, chromed factory valve covers and
correctly restored air cleaner. All the components look clean. The
washer bottle is hooked up, wiper motor looks new, horns are in
place, has hood insulation. Correct Mopar radiator, cap and shroud.
2 very desirable features include power steering and power brakes.
The original fender tag is still in place.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk lid is painted slick, inside is clean
metal painted red. It has a new mat and weatherstrip. There is a
jack assembly but no spare.
UNDERSIDE: Underneath is extra clean. The floors are such nice
metal that they were painted gloss red. Frame rails were neatly
welded in to prevent body twist when hammering through the gears.
The H.D. suspension is all rebuilt. The rear leaf springs,
shackles, and shocks were rebuilt. The 4 wheel drum brakes were
restored, new parking brake lines. The gas tank still looks like
new, and new lines and pump were routed nicely. The dual exhaust
was custom built with Cherry Bomb mufflers and correct oval tips
out the rear. Looking up at the motor it still looks fresh and has
a high torque starter. The correct dated 4-speed trans is also
clean. Everything's powered through its original Dana 60 rear end
with 3.54 Sure Grip gears and a chrome cover. It's really
impressive underneath this car!
SERVICE: We inspected the car and installed a choke, set the carb
and timing. We fixed reverse lights, turn signals, wipers, and seat
track. We installed new glovebox latch and liner, front shocks,
rear license plate bracket, pillar rubber and right inner tie rod.
We lubed the speedometer cable, gave it a front end alignment,
adjusted the driver door, adjusted windows and adjusted e-brake
cables.
Rare and desirable! That is the winning combination. 327 made, how
many exist? How many have power steering and brakes? How many red
with white? I'm sure this is the only one.
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.
**These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a
particular car, make an appointment with a salesman to see that
car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded, and
you will be given a 1 year membership.
