ANY MOPAR AFFICIONADO WOULD KNOW THAT CHRYSLER NEVER MADE A 383 R/T CONVERTIBLE BUT JUDGING FROM THE PHOTOS THEY SHOULD HAVE!!! CORRECT WHITE R/T STRIPES, EMBLEMS, GO-WING AND FRONT CHIN SPOILERS WERE INSTALLED GIVING THE CAR A MORE AGGRESSIVE STANCE!! THE CAR IS A REAL HEAD TURNER!!! IT IS A REAL PLEASURE TO DRIVE AND DRIVES SMOOTH AND STRAIGHT WITH LITTLE EFFORT FROM THE FACTORY POWER STEERING!! THIS NOW HI-IMPACT PINK PANTHER (FM3) PAINT IS THE TALK OF THE TOWN.

ALL OF THE CHROME IS IN REAL NICE SHAPE.THE BODY PANELS ARE STRAIGHT, THE GLASS IS BRIGHT AND EVEN THE ORIGINAL PLASTIC LENSES ARE REAL NICE!!! THE LATER ADDITION OF THE SHAKER HOOD AND EMBLEMS REPLACED THE ORIGINAL BORING RALLY HOOD TO ADD THAT SPECIAL PIZAZZ TO THE ALREADY 70'S MUSCLE CAR LOOK. AS FAR AS THE DEPENDABILITY AND INTEGRITY OF THE CAR, THE ENGINE WAS CHECKED OUT THOROUGHLY AND TUNED TO A T INCLUDING NEW PLUGS AND PLUG WIRES.

On Nov-11-11 at 09:35:56 PST, seller added the following information: question #6 - Tell me about the sound system - One of the most annoying things that was evident with a convertible was how lousy the stereo sounded when driving with the top down, Problem solved!!! The sound system has been professional installed and upgraded to provide one of the most crip sounds available offering today's technology. The upgrades include a Pioneer FM/MP3/ CD, SAT radio ready sound system that is powered by a 220 Watt Rockford Fosgate Punch Amplifier that is nicely mounted in the trunk along with a JBL 600 watt intercooled subwoofer!!! The sound is absolutely amazing with help of the tweeters and midrange speakers that fit perfectly in the doorpanels.
