Serious inquiries only, not looking for advice or a pen pal. I do not have to sell but have another project in process. Will sell without motor and or transmissionOn Aug-08-18 at 06:35:59 PDT, seller added the following information:To answer some of the questions I have received. I have a folder full of receipts that is included. I stopped keeping track after I hit $12,000. That is not including the motor/tranny setup that is currently in it. I think the motor is on sale currently for $3800 intake to oil pan on the year one web site. No carb or drive accessories. When the ring and pinion was installed all new differential bearings ( carrier and pinion) installed. The rear brake lines are hard lines to above the rear end housing where braided flexible steel Earl's lines were used along the axle tubes and out to the calipers. Hard lines ran in front to the brake hoses out to the calipers. Proportioning valve is mounted under the car forward of the driver seat area and fuse box is mounted inside on the fire wall on drivers side like most cars. There are short modern shocks on the front painted black so they blend in well. Cruises on interstate around 75 rapped up decent, can go well over 100 just can't maintain it for long periods due to high RPM. Nice tight shifts with no big rpm drops like a proper muscle car. This can be driven regularly. Not a trailer queen. It rides well for what it is and people that have rode in it are surprised. Ride height has nothing to do with suspension travel with a proper suspension setup. I have driven it on a couple 300 mile round trips. That being said the roads are terrible up here, Dodge the pot holes
