THIS CHESTNUT METALLIC (you can not see the beautiful metallic in the pics but in person, with the sun out it is splendid) 73 FISH COMES WITH A STRONG RUNNING 4BBL 318, DUEL EXHAUST, REBUILT TRANS. SHIFTS ARE FIRM-2ND CHIRPS HARD & THE 8 3/4 SURE GRIP WITH 3.91 RATIO (BEEFY 489 CASE) THIS CAR HAS 57,000 ORIGINAL MILES! IT IS ALWAYS GARAGED & IS EXTREMELY SOLID FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. I HAVE OWNED IT FOR ABOUT THE LAST 10 YEARS OR SO & CAN TELL YOU THIS FISH IS REBUILT IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES. THIS MAKES IT THE VERY QUICK & RESPONSIVE CAR SHE IS. NOW BEFORE WE GET INTO ALL THE GOOD STUFF LET ME MENTION THE 3 THINGS I HAVEN'T ADDRESSED -1ST THEIR IS A SMALL HOLE IN THE DRIVERS REAR WHEEL HOUSING, UNLESS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IT YOU WONT EVEN NOTICE, ITS THAT SMALL. 2ND THE SPEEDOMETER GOT STUCK RECENTLY, BUT THE ODOMETER STILL WORKS. 3RD THERE IS A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD. NOW FOR THE GOOD STUFF: BEGINNING WITH THE INTERIOR WHICH IS IN GREAT SHAPE AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICS. THE RECOVERED BUCKETS & THE NEW CARPET ARE BOTH FROM LEGENDARY INTERIOR ,THE REST IS ORIGINAL & SHOWS A DISCOLOR FROM ITS 38 YEARS. THE FLOOR PANS LOOK BRAND NEW & STILL SHOW THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SEALANT. THE FRONT END GOT A COMPLETE REBUILD WITH A NEW STEERING BOX & A COMPLETE PST REBUILD KIT. THE DUAL EXHAUST SNORTS THROUGH FLOW MASTER 40S & CORRECT CUT OUT REAR VALANCE FOR THE CUDA STAINLESS TIPS. THE REAR IS A 489 CASE WITH SURE-GRIP 3.91 GEARING THE POSI UNIT IS NEW AS ARE ALL AXLE PARTS. THE TRANSMISSION IS A 904 TORQUE FLITE THAT IS PROFESSIONALLY OVERHAULED WITH A BRAND NEW CONVERTER & SOME SHIFTING IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAS THIS FISH SHIFTING PERFECT & CRISP. NOW FOR THE HEART OF THE BEAST: WE CAREFULLY FOLLOWED A 318 HOP UP THAT MOPAR PERFORMANCE DID THAT PRODUCES BETTER POWER THAN A 340CU FROM 68-71. IT PUTS OUT 300HP & 340LBS OF TORQUE . THIS IS WHAT WAS USED- ALUMINUM EDELBROCK PERFORMER INTAKE, A 650 CFM CARTER CARB & A COMP EXTREME -ENERGY 462-470 LIFT WITH HEAVY VALVE SPRINGS. WE DID ALL THIS, PLUS INSTALLED WINDAGE TRAY, VISCOUS FAN, DOUBLE ROW CHAIN, WENT .30 OVER & CROSSHATCHED CYLINDER WALLS, REBUILT HEADS, CARTER FUEL PUMP, HIGH VOLUME OIL PUMP & MOPAR ORANGE BOX. WELL THAT IS A MOUTHFUL BUT IT ALL ADDS UP TO A GREAT LOOKING CAR THAT GETS MUCH ATTENTION & STARTS RIGHT UP WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY, RUNS VERY STRONG & WILL BE A RELIABLE UNIT THAT NEEDS NOTHING FOR YEARS TO COME!
