Wow is this one a beauty! The colors had me sold immediately. I was thrilled once I inspected it and realized how nicely it was restored because that meant I was buying it!

EXTERIOR: Stunning! That beautiful glass finish black paint without a vinyl top and all the nice red accents really looks incredible. You walk up to the car, and it looks like a black mirror. The body is arrow straight and the gaps are really nice. It has the GTS bulged hood with the red accents in the chrome trim, I also love the GTS 383 emblems with red and of course the red bumblebee stripe really puts it over the top. Everyone loves the round marker lights of '68 too. It looks like the chrome has been redone and the stainless trim is very nice. It has dual mirrors and correct antenna. The windshield looks new, weatherstrips have been replaced. It's sitting on a set of reproduction Wide Oval Redline tires with gloss black rims and the poverty hubcaps.

INTERIOR: Oh my god, the pearl white against the black exterior really takes it to another level, somewhere in the astrosphere! The fact it has bucket seats with the console makes it even that much better. I'm sitting in the car looking at it now, it's very tidy and clean. The instrument panel is not beat up or broken, an original center console is very nice. The seats are recushioned and upholstered. The door panels, armrests, carpet, headliner, rear speaker shelf have all been replaced. It has seat belts front and back.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: A big block 383 stuffed in a little Dart sounds exciting! This engine compartment is completely restored and detailed. The engine bay is pristine metal painted high gloss black. Every single component looks proper, fresh, and detailed. The engine looks stock: the right manifolds, chrome valve cover and a crinkle finish air cleaner with a 383 Magnum pie tin. It even has proper over spray on the negative cable, a reproduction coil and dated spark plug wires. The hoses and clamps are reproduction. The squirters are hooked up, the horns are hooked up, the battery is secured. Dang this is nice!

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted glossy. The weatherstrip and trunk mat have been replaced. Under the trunk mat is solid black metal. It has a spare tire, the board over it and insulation pad that helps with the moisture. The jack assembly is correctly mounted. There's a working trunk light too!

UNDERSIDE: Under this car is restored and detailed, right down to the assembly line markings. The steering and suspension all looks fresh like it's been rebuilt or replaced. The brakes have been serviced, the lines and e-brake look new. It has a factory style dual exhaust system with the correct tips going out the back. The fuel system was replaced including the tank. Looking up at the motor it's very clean, the starter looks fresh. The 727 Torqueflite automatic looks fresh too and a restored driveshaft is going back to the 8 3/4 rear end. The floors and frame rails all appear to be very solid. It has factory applied undercoat certain areas and painted gloss black in others.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you the best cars within reason.

Beautiful car! The new owner will be very proud.
