Yes, it's extremely Straight & clean!Originally Posted by Iron Indian
It is a rust free New Mexico car that I bought this past July (2009) at the Iola, WI car show and swap meet for only $6,100.00!
What a deal.
When I purchased it it was equip'd as seen in the photos (were taken 2 days after we got it home).
For the purchase price here is what was on the car:
Fresh 1968 high performance 440 cubic inch engine (real HP2 stamped block)backed by an A-883 heavy duty 4-speed manual transmission (with 11" Hayes lightweight flywheel & clutch combo). The engine has a Holley 650 cfm dual feed 4-bbl. carburetor on top of an aluminum Offenhauser (360 degree) single 4-bbl. intake manifold. It also has headers, has been converted to electronic ignition via a brand new Mopar Performance kit (ECU, distributor, harness, ...), Accell 'Super Coil' performance coil, Mallory 'Super Wires' performance ignition wire set, Moroso chrome valve covers (same shape as the factory pieces), and Moroso chrome 14-inch drop base air cleaner.
A few other items I noticed immediately was the mint 1968 Super Bee power buldge hood, the glass/chrome trim is all in great shape, and it has 15x7" American Racing aluminum slotted mag wheels with three of the four center caps present!
The mechanical fuel pump, inline fuel filter, and alternator were all changed recently as well.
I love the car!!!
It ran great & drove beautiful as purcahsed as well.
It was originally a base model Coronet with a slant six and a column shifted 3-speed manual transmission (3 on the tree). The only 4 options on the car (originally) were AM radio, chrome B-pillar (coupe body only), chrome along the tops of the doors, and the chrome along the bottom of the car.
Since these photos I've added some more go fast goodies under the hood, smaller tires up front and lowered the front of the car ~4 inches.
I've also started to clean up the body and I'm getting ready to paint under the hood and maybe spray the car next spring...
