INTRODUCTION: Extremely rare factory 383 Magnum and a 4-speed! 1 of 604 made, much rarer than a Cuda. Truly an investment grade vehicle with its numbers matching engine and transmission plus the factory Hemi Orange paint! This stunner underwent a ground up restoration to original with a few driver friendly improvements, including fuel injection. There's nothing fishy about this car, just an authentic and highly desirable piece of American automotive history!

EXTERIOR: Born Hemi Orange! It has the classic bad boy appearance with the hood scoops, rear window louvers, and Go-Wing. The profile is just so tough looking. The hockey stick stripe is the perfect compliment to the interior. The striking factory color body paint was applied with great attention to detail and polished to a reflective finish. Looking down the side of the laser straight body you will see quality workmanship with smooth contours and crisp lines. The panels have been well aligned with good gaps that are well above average. The doors close easily with minimal effort. The front grille and blacked out rear tail panel are both in great shape. All the chrome has a beautiful sparkle. Dual sport mirrors a much appreciated option. The correct polished exhaust tips are exiting through the rear valance. It's rolling on a shiny set of chrome Torque Thrust II wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, extra fat and wide in the back to give it that old school cool! What an attention getter!

INTERIOR: Properly refurbished! Inside the door jamb is painted slick, just like the body, and the weatherstrip was replaced. The door panels themselves are in very good condition and have the molded armrests. The star of the show is the pistol grip shifter, which is so cool, practical, and fun at the same time. The correct center console with storage compartment looks great. The high back bucket seats were both reupholstered and match the new rear seat upholstery. The headliner and carpeting were both replaced. The dash area is in great shape with its really nice gauges and wood trim bezel, plus the dash pad is in excellent condition. It looks like the original thumbwheel radio is in place and the climate control has been replaced. The Holley Sniper EFI controller is thoughtfully mounted just left of the gauges. The interior lights are working.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Original 383 Magnum V8! At first glance it looks fairly stock with its Hemi Orange paint, cast iron valve covers, and air cleaner with the 383 Magnum pie tin. Dig a little deeper and you will notice the blacked out Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection unit and upgraded distributor. All the belts and hoses we replaced. The radiator looks refurbished and it has an aftermarket overflow. The horns are hooked up and the battery is properly secured. The underside of the hood, fender wells, and firewall are all neatly painted just like the exterior.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid is neatly painted body color and a reproduction jack sticker was added. The jamb was also repainted body color and the weatherstrip was replaced. Inside is equipped with a space saver spare tire, inflator, and trunk mat. Under the mat is all clean and solid steel that is painted just like the exterior.

UNDERSIDE: Body colored floor boards! The steering system has been gone through and currently works well. The front and rear shocks were replaced and the rear leaf springs look fresh too. It is equipped with front disc brakes and the emergency brake is hooked up. The exhaust system is all fresh with new pipes, mufflers, resonators, and the correct polished tips exiting through the rear valance. Looking up at the #'s matching 383 engine you will Hemi Orange paint and a high torque starter. The 4 speed manual transmission is also the original #'s matching unit. An 8 �" rear end puts the power to the pavement. The floors appear to be solid and rust free, coated with body colored paint.

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.

CONCLUSION: The quintessential American muscle car! Have fun and make a smart investment at the same time. In addition to being super rare and having its original #'s matching drivetrain, this car pulls off the bad boy image perfectly. When normal isn't good enough, Plymouth makes it!
