If anyone has questions this is my former car. It was a very un-molested car. Mostly original paint, all original top and interior when I bought it. Even had the original dated mufflers and resonators in place, although the head pipes and over axle pipes had been replaced.
I'll be keeping a close eye to see how it does. As there's a little piece of me that misses it.

Wow, it went for $62,700. An RT/SE 440 4bbl only went for $48,400!!!

I watched it go thru on Speedtv.com, it stalled in the mid 30's and was about to hammer down when it just took off and climed to the mid 50's in a matter of seconds. It looked GREAT under the lights.

I missed it, and they don't have it up on the speedtv site yet.
What did the commentators have to say about it? Were they surprised that it went for so much?

Hey,did not mean to dig up an old thread..but.. Found this for sale..A bit of a Frankenstien (72-up fenders,71 tailpanel) but seller claims to be an "actual" 340 auto convertible.. I sent an Email to verify if it had the A66 code on the tag--if it still has one. http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAd?AdId=1...v4yUAwMGeLIF5E*

That purple convert is a real 340 car but it's tough...ie rotten unibody.The person that purchased it last year was a GM guy who had always lusted after E Bodys but knew nothing about the rust issues that are common to them in these parts.That car also had a AAR dash tag on it....not sure if thats been corrected or not.I believe that car needs heavy reconstruction much like the purple shaker 71 that Keith Sims just did the unibody on.Might as well buy a better car which is what the current owner is hopeing to do...flip the rotten lump and upgrade.

.... I have owned an all original California 340 FC7 340 auto A66 convert with Same color stripe as Paul's. It had great options.I am trying to buy it back. .... I still have the FC7 Ragtop Plate that reads 340 Vert.
Did that car come from the LA area? I think Julius might have owned it at one time. I think he at least worked on it for the lady? that owned it. In '98 or so I ran into someone here on Moparts that owned that car from Michagan. I think the first person in Michagan to own it. Maybe you? Might have been a molding package car.

Man that is just another cool little thing about these cars from Dodge. I never new that for 70 there was a special package for the 340 that was dressed not quite like an R/T! Very neat.
Also amazes me that they offered most of the stuff avail for the R/T but used the standard dash! Weird!
Keep the stories coming cause I just love this thread...
