Just now getting it out of the barn after 7 years and going to clean it up and go through everything and put it back where it belongs on the race track. Its got a 440/727/8.75 with ladder bars. Motor isnt much. Heavy old TRW dome pistons, Mopar Performance flat tappet camshaft, Iron 906 heads, Team G manifold and Dominator carb. Its ran a best of 6.7? in the 1/8th which isnt too bad. Put a little fuel in it and a new battery and fired right up with 70psi oil pressure. Needs a lot of updates but plan to take it testing sometime in the spring. 8269637-cudafront.jpg (524 downloads)

I thought the hood would be impossible to find, but it is the same hood as a '73-'76 Dart! https://i.imgur.com/tmuGzov.jpg

Just messing with ya. Have fun with it like your friend would want you too. Beep 8271207-09-09-201412;15;22AM.JPG (357 downloads)

The dash is completely cut out so it would be nice to put a factory dash back in it but probably just going to build a aluminum or buy a fiberglass dash. I don't want to jump into this thing and try to spend a bunch of money and lose interest right away. I want to enjoy it while working on it.
