Only 1,782 miles on a body off frame restoration. Only 1,650
hardtops were made and much fewer had factory air conditioning.
This car received rave reviews when new and is even more
appreciated today. The body was 6 inches lower than the year
before, it had extreme tailfins and an abundance of chrome. It was
also the first production car to boast 1 hp per cubic inch. It has
it going on!
EXTERIOR: What a looker! The lower roof line and tailfins as tall
as a teenager give this car a look that can't go unnoticed. The
body is pristine, arrow straight with no rust or damage. Only
available in black or white, this one has the white polished like
glass along with the polished gold accent color too. All the chrome
sparkles like jewelry, and there's plenty of it! Giant front
bumper, trim around the quad headlights, mirrors perched on top of
each fender as well as antenna perched on top of each rear wing.
Then there is a big chrome bumper that curves right up into the
taillights and chrome strips on top of the trunk for no other
reason other than to add more bling. It is rolling on some bling!
Chrome wire wheels are wrapped in reproduction whitewall tires.
INTERIOR: The outside is cool, well so is the inside! From the
silver tinsel carpet to the push button trans. All of the correct
upholstery was used to restore the seats and door panels. The dash
area is beautiful: the metal is painted, chrome knobs and trim
sparkles, gauges are mint, steering wheel is restored. Below the
dash looks like a vintage record player but actually opens up to
find a stereo. Overhead is a pristine white headliner and visors
decorated with chrome bars and working dome lights. Power windows
and power seat will make life a little easier.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: 345 cubic inch Hemi with a race cam and dual 4
barrel carbs produced 345 horsepower! It's not all race car, this
one has power steering and brakes along with factory air
conditioning! It is concourse restored in here, factory correct
down to the stickers and paint stamps. It has the correct DeSoto
Firedome valve covers, dual air cleaners, and even the Mopar Jiffy
Jet washer bag. The a/c box has correct raw fiberglass, all the
metal surfaces are painted slick. The wiring was all replaced, it
has a reproduction battery. This motor compartment is detailed!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is restored to brand new condition in here
too. The metal is painted a smooth white finish. The correct liner
kit was installed with a carpeted floor. The spare is a never used
5th reproduction white wall on a painted rim along with a restored
jack assembly.
UNDERSIDE: It was frame off restored. The suspension was completely
rebuilt and detailed. Chrysler promoted the new torsion bar system
was like riding on air. The steering was rebuilt along with the
brake system. New fuel system including tank and lines. Factory
correct exhaust system other than the tailpipes have been rerouted
to not mess up the chrome. Looking up at the motor and transmission
they look fresh. The floors are all clean metal with a thin
undercoat.
SERVICE: We thoroughly inspected this car and replaced a cracked
window. The original a/c is not working.
This car only became nicer the more I inspected it. Really, this is
an incredibly well restored car. This isn't like restoring a Camaro
or Mustang, I'm sure it was much more difficult and costly. I bet
it would cost 1/4 dollars at a shop. But they did it, they took an
amazing car and made it new again!
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. **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.
