Would like to see pics of interior and under hood for a total assessment.. The original wheels are a big plus as they are very pricey... Last edited by Mopar2DBone; 05/20/13 05:20 PM.

Proof is in the pudding. I doubt they made any 440 Canadian versions. More likely, a 440 was an easy swap or the truck was doped up to be an LRE when it really wasnt. But like I said get some details, post the vin ect so when can all discuss. However, my 2cents is they don't exist as he LRE crowd is pretty savvy.

The first 5 were early 78 d code warlocks converted to lil reds at creative industries. They were sent out as promo rigs for the package why they were 440's who knows but they were I have the vin for the one that was on Kijiji . I believe the other member here may have the rest. If a decent one comes up I will grab it. Been watching for 1 to surface never say never with a mopar!
