Overall this is an excellent vehicle. My wife and I have taken several short
trips in the car. The Dodge drives out well with no problems. I would not be
afraid to drive this Mopar anywhere.

DRIVETRAIN:
-Engine; Original 318 Poly block V8. Build date on block is 04/09/1965.
Engine was rebuilt. Now has approximately 4,000 miles on rebuild.
Engine runs strong and is stock.

-Transmission; TorqueFlite 727 automatic, column shift. Was rebuilt at same
time engine was overhauled. Is the original transmission. Shifts smooth
through all ranges.

-Differential; Original. Not sure what gears it has. Has new bearings and
seals. Makes no noise while driving.


INTERIOR:
-Seats, door panels and visors were recovered when new top was installed
9/15/04. They were done back to original and look excellent. Carpet is the
original and is a bit faded, but has no holes. All gauges work with the
exception of the fuel gauge, it needs a new sending unit.
Wiper switch is bad and original radio does not work.
Also need windshield washer motor. Needs window seals in
convertible top tracks.

EXTERIOR:
-Paint: Car was completely stripped and fenders removed. Both floor pans and
heater box were repaired. All rust was removed and no bondo was used on this
car. Painted back to original red with white trim. Front fenders were
replaced. All chrome and trim are the original and could use refinish. The
car comes with the rims in the picture, I do have the original hub caps. New
top was installed. It is white on black. Top boot is in good working
condition. Top goes up and down with no problems. It is an electric top. All
exterior lights work properly. Windshield has small crack near passenger pillar.
