Sometimes it had a 3.54 gear, and sometimes 4.10s. Judging by the logbook he kept on the car, he worked on it constantly, and raced it everywhere he went.

Was ordered with the A 35 trailer tow package. That gave you the 054 radiator so my car is at least one part A 12 77 Macho Power Wagon LWB factory 440 70 Coronet 440 N code 3 speed

Yes, the original owner...still! And he bought it to tow a trailer, and a boat...which it did very well. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dodgedeora/1529841523/in/set-72157602348057689/ 4859785-1529841523_830697211d_o.jpg (79 downloads) Last edited by magnumcharger; 12/05/08 07:17 PM.
