On Mar-30-14 at 19:32:34 PDT, seller added the following information: I have been getting several questions about how it runs and drives. My son is going to make a short video of it starting, running and driving as soon as the weather clears up. I'm hoping it will be available tomorrow night via youtube link that we will post here. I also wanted to mention the red engine stand is included in the deal.

In all fairness the new paint is what I call "driver quality" as opposed to " show quality". That being said when I pulled out the left over paint there is about a pint left that would reduce to a pint and a half of sprayable. It's also BASF Urethane Single Stage paint not Dupont. It is not perfect but there are no runs and it's a eye catcher from any distance. It's been cut and buffed and shines nice. There are a couple door dings that never got repaired. One on each door and one on the tail panel drivers side. Noticeable only in the right light. The big bolt pattern running gear and 8-1/4 rear axel came out if a 74 Dart Sport and has 3.55 gears. That work was done by the previous Mopar enthusiast as well as the spider gear posi lock I describe above. Thats means the spider gear has been welded so both wheels turn the same speed under load. Previous Mopar enthusiast had envisioned this car going out and racing people with a big block. Unfortunately the big block dream never happened for him. I don't have all the parts to put the 340 back together. I do have the important parts that all came from the same motor (heads, block and crank). Also included is the carrier bearings, power steering pump, fan and a bucket of misc parts. The block I was told had never been bored. It's not all scared up but does have some rust where some water sat in a couple of the cylinders. It probably needs to be cleaned up. I was going to buy a wore out 318 or 360 and use it for all the pulleys, brackets, etc. Good luck it will be a fun car for somebody that looks and sounds good. Drive it while you finish it.
