The product of a high dollar, multi-year build, this incredible Mopar pro-tourer wraps a 500 horsepower 3G Hemi and a completely custom suspension in a custom leather interior and killer custom-mixed paint.
Completed in early 2012, this super clean curve carver is the direct result of what happens when a seasoned fabricator has an uncompromised vision, major dedication and access to a six-figure bank account. See, the car's creator already owned a killer Charger that was buff enough to pull down sub 10-second passes on an NHRA-sanctioned drag strip, so he wanted to build a second car that was a bit milder and quite different. Enter this neon Plymouth, a project which quickly escalated from the restoration of a fun cruiser into the creation of an outrageous driver's car.
Hoist this Plymouth's bright fiberglass hood and you'll find 6.1 liters of naturally aspirated 3G Hemi bliss. Straight from the factory that popular SRT8 powerplant produces an impressive 425 horsepower and 420 lb./ft. of torque. And with the help of a custom tune by the folks at Bouchillon Performance Engineering in Hanahan, South Carolina, its performance transforms from wild to flat out wicked! Measuring in at roughly 372 cubic inches, the big mill uses a revised block, forged internals, lighter pistons and a cast aluminum intake to crank out a whopping 500 horsepower and 460 lb./ft. of torque. And best of all, that's 500 horsepower that'll fire up in any weather, last thousands of maintenance-free miles, and probably lay waste to any old school muscle car that's brave enough to stage a challenge!
Behind the neo Hemi, a Hughes Performance A727 Torqueflite produces great bite and hard launches. Out back, there's a fresh Moser Sure Grip rear end that's equipped with moderate, pavement pounding gears. At the front of the car, custom-mounted rack and pinion steering provides smooth turns and quick reflexes. That rack is held off the ground by a first class double A-arm suspension that's a product of Magnumforce upper control arms, two inch drip spindles, fresh Aldan coil overs and modified Mancini lower control arms. Holding the car's rear end off the ground is a Reilly Motorsports triangulated four link set up that's equipped with new QA-1 coil over shocks. And at the corners of the chassis, custom Boze Alloy wheels spin 235/55R18 front and 305/45R20 rear Yokohama Advan STs around graphite gray spokes, satin-finished lips and yellow-trimmed center caps.
Open this B-Body's solid closing doors and take in its custom black interior that, as an astute combination of serious hardware and modern aesthetics, is the perfect place to spend jaunts like Hot Rod's famed Power Tour. The first thing you'll notice is a pair of GS-1 touring buckets, fitted with high quality RCI harnesses, that are so supportive they'll have no problem living life 100 miles at a time. Between those seats, a custom console anchors a B&M Pro Bandit shifter between two cup holders and a remote controlled Sony CD player. At the front of that console, a clean Just Dashes dash features snazzy white-faced gauges and a modern pushbutton ignition switch. And in front of the driver, a three-spoke Momo steering wheel spins a thick black rim around a shaved steering column.
Brutally fast and visually stunning, this awesome Plymouth perfectly embodies the tried and true philosophy of pushing the envelope as far as the arc will go. Call, click or visit http://RKMotorsCharlotte.com for more information!

Dressed in a unique bronze on black color combination, rocking a big block 440 Super Commando V8 under its hood and equipped with a super rare dealer installed dual quad intake, this awesome 1968 Plymouth GTX is the kind of car you can take to the local strip to beat up crosstown rivals, or take on an everyday grocery run!
This stunning three owner 1968 Plymouth GTX is one of the finest Mopar muscle cars on the planet! Its complete rebuild began when Dale Wamsley of Just Metal Restorations meticulously stripped its solid original body down to bare metal and block sanded every facet into a smooth, consistent canvas. Once the cars factory accurate panels were fully prepped from beginning to end, a correct coat of Chrysler code M Turbine Bronze Metallic was expertly applied under correct black horizontal side stripes and buffed to a brilliant wet-look shine that can only be achieved with today's highly advanced paint technology.
Fully detailed, covered in Plymouth turquoise and currently wearing only break-in miles since a complete rebuild, this slick Plymouths 440 cubic inch Super Commando V8 is spectacular in every measurable way! The coolest thing about this legendary Chrysler mill is its dual quad Edelbrock intake that, according to a story passed down with the title and a dealer warranty sticker that's still present in the driver's side door jamb, is a correct dealer installed piece which is original to the car. At the top of that intake, two modern carburetors, which have been blasted to appear vintage, sip fuel through fresh stainless fuel lines and suck air through a fresh re-usable filter element that is clamped into a chrome Edelbrock air cleaner. At the base of that intake, a correct points distributor sends fire through Autolite Professional plug wires. And at the sides of that intake, restored original Exhaust manifolds send spent gases into a great sounding true dual Exhaust system.
Behind the big bore engine you'll find a freshly rebuilt A833 18 spline 4-speed manual transmission which sends power to a correct Dana 60 Sure Grip rear end that's stuffed with stout 3.54 gears. Naturally, the front torsion bar and rear leaf spring suspension has been completely restored and includes: a rebuilt manual steering system, new rear springs and new shocks at every wheel. At the center of the car, a free flowing 2.5 inch aluminized Exhaust system sends spent gases through an H-pipe crossover to two chamber turbo mufflers and traditional stainless tips. And at the corners of the car, new stainless brake lines and new brake hoses supply fully rebuilt factory front disc and rear drum brakes which sit behind mandatory chrome Magnum 500 wheels and meaty 215/70 turbo-Tech redline tires.
This Plymouths fender tag says it was originally equipped with an S6X Black interior; and accordingly, it has been restored with a roster of reproduction parts which provide the kind of jaw-dropping good looks you just can't find in today's cars. The rear bench and the front buckets seats are firm and, despite being traditional muscle car vinyl, feel much more upscale than most. At the bottom of those seats, new black carpet props a correct Hurst shifter in the middle of a correct, chrome trimmed center console; and at the top of the seats, a tight black headliner frames a correct dome light. The cars pristine, wood trimmed dash hangs fully rebuilt gauges, which include an offset tachometer, beside an original two watt Solid State AM radio which sports Chrysler's cool thumb-wheel knobs. In front of the driver, a restored, wood rimmed steering wheel sits on a rebuilt original steering column. At the sides of the seats, correct door panels hang new armrests among fresh stainless trim, new Woodgrain applique and correct gloss black door frames. And behind the cockpit, a fully restored trunk props a full-size spare tire between a reproduction mat and a correct decklid decal.
If you're in the market for an old school, investment grade muscle car that will gain value while you're enjoying it for years to come, this broad shouldered Plymouth is just what you've been looking for! Call, click or visit http://RKMotorsCharlotte.com for more information on this awesome car!

For more information on this vehicle visit http://tinyurl.com/cp7ta56
Thanks to a thorough and meticulous six year restoration, this 1967 GTX Convertible HEMI is a magnificent car in every way. Starting with a rust free, low mile car, this GTX was disassembled down to a bare body, with the doors, hood, deck lid and fenders removed for refinishing. Over the next five years, more than $50,000.00 was spent to transform the GTX body into a perfectly straight masterpiece, with perfect panel gaps and amazing black paint.
Every square inch of the exterior of this GTX was restored or replaced. Check out the front and rear bumpers, the door handles, side mirror, hood scoop bezels, fender-mounted turn signals and the tail light bezels--all of these chrome items were re-plated to show quality standards. The anodized aluminum headlight bezels, grill and tail light panel were all restored to the highest standards. All of the exterior stainless steel, including the wheel lip moldings, was carefully polished and restored to better than new standards. The NASCAR style gas cap was replaced with a B/E & A Specialties high quality reproduction unit. As well, new marker lights, reverse lights and new emblems were sourced and installed. You can't have a blinding perfect body without perfect glass, so a complete new glass set was ordered and installed, along with new window felts, weather-strips, seals, body plugs and grommets.
Carefully open the perfectly aligned hood and staring you in the face is a massive chromed 1967 Street HEMI air cleaner and two equally massive original, restored HEMI valve covers. The vintage HEMI block was torn down and rebuilt. After the engine was assembled, it was expertly tuned and balanced. In all respects, this is a brand new vintage 426 HEMI engine, with correct heads, pistons, rods and crank. Present are two correct 1967 HEMI carburetors, a correct intake, correct Exhaust manifolds, correct water pump, correct alternator and correct power steering crank pulley. Additional details abound: correct reproduction battery and positive/negative battery cables; reproduction washer bottle; correct restored 26" radiator; correct hoses, clamps and plug wires. A Classic Auto Air system is neatly bolted to the front of the engine and you'll also notice a correct power steering system and an MPC power brake system.
Moving on to the underside of the GTX, the entire front suspension was blasted, and restored. The rear suspension was also blasted and repainted, with new shocks posted at all four corners. A new fuel tank, along with new fuel lines, new brake lines and new rubber hoses were installed. Underneath the car you'll spot a brand new Keisler Tremec TKO 500 5-speed manual transmission along with a brand new slip yoke, cross member, reverse light assembly, bell-housing, clutch, pressure plate and throw-out bearing. The brand new balanced drive-shaft feeds an equally brand new Strange Dana 60 axle, with a 3.54 posi gear-set. The GTX rolls on four brand new BFGoodrich P225/70R14 red-line radials mounted to four brand new Magnum 500 road wheels with center caps.
Not a single part of the interior of this GTX went un-restored. All of the following was sourced as new: four door panels; two door handles; four window cranks; six seat covers, six seat foams; center console; center console top plates and hardware; pistol grip shifter; two kick panels; rear seat GTX emblem. Every single piece of chrome in this interior was re-plated to show standards. The original 1967 seat-belts were expertly restored and show as better than new. The original instrument cluster was disassembled and rebuilt and reinstalled into the beautiful re-painted dash, capped by a restored dash pad. Every dash knob and bezel was re-plated. The original AM/FM radio was rebuilt by Chet Greenwood. The Classic Auto Air system is expertly installed and is activated using the factory heater controls, immediately flooding the cabin with cool air on hot summer days or nights. To cap off the stunning interior, a brand new black convertible top with rear glass window was expertly installed on to the restored convertible top hardware.
This HEMI powered triple black convertible, with a pistol grip 5-speed, power brakes, power steering and air conditioning is the kind of car that you can enjoy for a lifetime.
1968 Plymouth GTX 440 Super Commando V8 Mopar Muscle Car
I thought you might like a look at this nicely restored 1968 Plymouth GTX hardtop. It's powered by the big 440 Super Commando V8, backed by a Hurst 4-spd manual transmission. This 440 has been bored .030 over, forged 6 pack pistons, 69 high nickel content block, Herb McCandles 906 cast # big valve heads, purple cam 509-292, and a Holley 850 double pumper carb. All the power is funneled to a Dana 60 rear with sure-grip. Ductile iron rockers. Main studs. 1/2 inch oil pickup. Windage tray. Paint is M-1 Turbine Bronze with a flat black hood. New black vinyl interior with some red accents. Radial tires. Owner's Manual included. This is a nice Mopar that sounds great and is a blast to drive. Thanks for taking a look!

For more information on this vehicle visit http://tinyurl.com/dybj4vm
This 1967 GTX is a super clean, near-survivor 4-speed car with 99% of its original parts. Present is the original fender tag, original distributor tag, original seat tags and all original sheet-metal.
Understanding that we had a 100% correct, complete numbers-matching car, we decided to send the original engine, transmission and air cleaner off to Shepard's Automotive. In case you've never heard of Shepard's, they were founded by Larry Shepard, Sr., an engineer at Chrysler Corporation in the 1960s, who worked under Tom Hoover (the Godfather of the HEMI at Chrysler when they rolled out the street HEMI in 1966). Larry was later an engineer at Mopar Performance and has literally written the book on Mopar performance engines (in fact, I think he's written five or six). With an impressive bank of NOS and original parts and an even more impressive knowledge base, there was nobody out there better suited to restore the drive-train in our GTX.
With the doors, fenders, deck lid and hood removed, the entire body was placed on a rotisserie and sent off for dipping and e-coating. After the body was returned to our shop, we completed the metal work quickly, which was limited to a few small patches in the lower driver's side quarter panel. Because we replicated the original factory welds, you wouldn't know that the work was done if we didn't tell you. As we learned when we received the body shell back from the dip shop, the original floor pans, trunk floor and floor pans were perfect, with no prior rot or rust.
With the metal work complete, the car was primed, block-sanded, block-sanded some more and then block-sanded again for good measure and then painted in base coat/clear coat. Only after the base paint and clear coat were applied was the Medium Red Metallic sport stripes painted on, exactly the way it was done on the assembly line. If you ever see a restored 1967 GTX with the painted stripes flush with the base color, it's WRONG. On the underside, our restoration shop replicated the factory primer processes, complete with blown overspray.
After the drivetrain was properly bolted into place, our shop installed the original and now restored Dana 60 rear axle and restored rear suspension. We installed brand new stainless fuel lines, brake lines, brake hoses, grommets, weather-stripping and gaskets. A new fuel tank was bolted into place, and a complete, reproduction concours HEMI Exhaust handles the soundtrack. The entire braking system was reinstalled, using a combination of restored original and replacement parts. After the front suspension was in place, the restored and extremely hard to find 1967-only HEMI steel wheels were bolted up to the car, complete with four brand new reproduction redline tires. Finishing off the restored rolling stock were the four original, restored HEMI-only dog dish caps.
Turning our attention to the interior, our in-house interior expert Ralph Farinacci went to work. The front and rear seats and most of the interior parts had been finished by Ralph over the prior three months and simply needed to be installed. Ralph is a big believer in using original parts, right down to original screws and that's how he approached the restoration of the interior on this GTX. Of course, there are new door panels and vinyl seat covers, but every other piece is original to the car. The original dash pad was restored, along with the original gauge cluster. The original steering wheel was expertly refinished to better-than-new condition. Small touches like original restored kick panels and an original rear seat speaker set this car apart from the "catalog restorations" we see so often. 1967 GTXs have boatloads of interior chrome and every single piece was redone to concours standards.
Since the restoration was completed, this amazing GTX has been gently and carefully broken in and dialed in and is a true investment grade car which can be enjoyed on summer nights or rolled off a trailer at any concourse event. We all have our ultimate cars-if the 1967 HEMI GTX is yours, you can't do much better than this one!
133081 / 1964 Plymouth Belvedere
For more information on this vehicle visit http://tinyurl.com/9qkc8ex
Listed in Darrell Davis' book of original Max Wedge serial numbers, this car is one of only fourteen 426/4-speed Belvederes produced for the 1964 model year. If you're looking for a no-nonsense pavement pounder that's fast, raw and ready to brawl, you've found your next heavyweight!
An extension of legendary designer Elwood Engel's modernist rescue of Plymouth's increasingly eccentric product line, the firm's newly downsized B-Body did almost as well on Chrysler's sale charts as it did on America's drag strips and super speedways. This particular Belvedere, a Stage III Max Wedge car sold new at Powell Plymouth in Jacksonville, Florida, was likely ordered by an aspiring racer who whipped a few people on the street and then settled into a life in the slow lane. Unlike the majority of these badass Mayflower warriors, which were purchased almost exclusively for sanctioned drag racing, this car has never had its front inner aprons cut for Exhaust headers, never had a roll cage installed, and never had its rear wheel wells tubbed for oversize drag slicks. In fact, when this Plymouth's true heritage was discovered in the late 1990s, the car had been mechanically and cosmetically transformed into an all-steel, 90,000 mile slushbox special. Naturally its enlightened savior knew he had something special, so he began a frame-off restoration by welding in new floorpans from a clean donor car and hanging new quarters from a high quality aftermarket supplier. Next, when a trademark aluminum front end was finally located, it was re-skinned, thoroughly worked, and perfectly aligned with its new body. And finally, after much parts research and even more parts searching, a wet-looking coat of correct Chrysler code P Ruby Red paint was buried in a thick clearcoat shell that shines like a trophy on race day!
Gently lift this Plymouth's Ruby Red hood and you'll find an date-correct Max Wedge V8 that wears an authentic 2406730-1 casting number, a December (12) 10th (10) of 1963 (03) date stamp, and a 1964 V-series (V) Maximum Performance (MP) High Compression (HC) 426 cubic inch (426) engine stamp. Pushing a brutal 12.5 to 1 compression, and currently Dyno-ed at 486 horsepower and 469 lb./ft. of torque, this Mopar monster has built a hard-fought reputation for being one of the best competition motors ever created.
That high powered big block churns torque through a tough A833 4-speed manual transmission to an original, factory-narrowed 8.75 rear end. During the restoration that transmission, which is a correct piece that's dated slightly after the car was assembled, received new bearings, new synchros, a new clutch and pressure plate and a correct cast steel bellhousing. And that rear end, which rides below original factory frame weights, was fitted with a new Sure Grip differential and tall 4.10 gears. At the ends of that stellar drivetrain, an original torsion bar front and leaf spring rear suspension, which has been completely rebuilt from top to bottom, helps increase both drivability and track times. At the sides of that stellar drivetrain, original Max Wedge Exhaust pipes whisk spent gases to either manual dumps or factory replacement turbo mufflers. And all this first rate hardware proudly stands on a set of 14 inch body-matched steel wheels which spin fresh 205/75 Hurst radials and 215/75 Hurst cheater slicks around pristine stainless center caps.
Take a look inside the car and you'll find a spacious and airy environment which has enough room to haul the whole family in comfort. Top dead center is a pair of red bench seats that are lined with new padding, stitched with NOS covers and accented by bright stainless trim. Below those seats, new black carpet does an excellent job of highlighting the car's original, and re-chromed, Hurst shifter. In front of those seats, a two-tone dash hangs a silver '49 Plymouth-inspired instrument panel next to original radio and heater deletes. And in front of the driver, a restored steering wheel spins a red rim around a pristine chrome horn ring.
This aluminum-nosed Belvedere is a super cool piece of muscle car history that's easy to imagine as the focal point of a sunny 60s track day. Call, click or visit http://RKMotorsCharlotte.com for more information on this awesome car!

This fully restored 1967 Plymouth Belvedere GTX is one of seven 426 Hemi 4-speed convertibles ever produced!
When you're restoring a car of this caliber to the level you see here, you have to start with an unmolested, clean body. During this GTXs complete frame-off restoration, new high quality quarter panels were applied and, along with the cars original body panels, sanded to a smooth, exceptional surface. Then an impressive coat of correct Chrysler code R Yellow was professionally sealed with a tough, glossy clearcoat shell. The result is one arrow-straight Plymouth that has no gremlins, no thin spots and no short cuts what so ever.
Under this GTXs hood, you'll find a 1966 model 426 cubic inch Hemi that produces 425 horsepower and 470 lb./ft. of torque. At the top of the block, two correct 4-barrel carburetors breathe through a mirror-like chrome air cleaner which wears correct Mopar decals. Below those carburetors, a spotless 'Hemi Orange' block wears correctly restored wrinkle finish valve covers and restored original factory Exhaust manifolds. At the front of the motor, reproduction belts spin a correct 37 amp alternator above a correct fan and a Hemi-exclusive rebuilt power steering pump. Fire is supplied by reproduction wires, a reproduction coil and a correct distributor, and cooling is provided by a correct 26 inch heavy duty radiator with a correct Hemi-exclusive fan shroud. Refocus your eyes on the rest of the engine compartment and you'll find a correct reproduction red top battery, correct hoses and clamps, restored horns, a 1967 GTX exclusive washer fluid bottle and a factory fresh brake Booster.
Take one look under this pristine GTX and you'll find an undercarriage that has been restored to the same exacting standards as the car's engine bay. Behind the engine, an original A833 4-speed manual transmission sends power through a pristine driveshaft to an original Dana 60 Track Pak rear end. Inside that rear end, a factory correct Sure Grip differential houses tall Hemi-exclusive 3.54 gears, and on the outside of that rear end, correct chalk marks and maintenance tags add authenticity. At the front of the car, an original K-frame engine cradle and skid plate show very few signs of impact and a correct factory sway bar adds strength to the cars rebuilt torsion bar suspension. At the back of the car, correct firm ride shocks augment correct six leaf springs in front of a new stainless fuel tank that sends fuel through new stainless fuel lines. Braking comes courtesy of heavy duty power front discs and power rear drums, and Exhaust is handled by a new mandrel bent system which sends spent gases into an H-pipe crossover and two factory replacement mufflers. The big block power is put to the ground through 14 inch correct chrome Magnum 500 wheels that wear vintage looking 7.75x14 Firestone deluxe champion tires.
Open this GTX's solid doors and you'll find one of the coolest interiors ever bolted behind a big block Hemi engine. In front of the driver, the original rebuilt instrument cluster sits inside of a slick re-painted dash that's capped by a supple and pliable dash pad. Below that cluster, like-new dash knobs sit beside a correct Plymouth Transaudio AM radio that's centered within great looking stainless trim. Below the dash, an optional console holds Plymouth's controversial, but equally cool canted tachometer in front of a correct Inland shifter and what seems like a mile finned chrome trim. Below the console, new black carpet is protected by yellow stitched GTX floor mats, and at the sides of the console, fully restored saddle-grain vinyl seats face chrome trimmed foot pedals and a sweet looking chrome ringed steering wheel that features a correct black rim. New door panels carry stainless accents and chrome door handles to a brand new black convertible cowl that sits over a fully restored trunk.
Exceptionally rare and incredibly documented, this '67 Belvedere GTX is a near flawless Mopar centerpiece that is the perfect investment for any collector who wants to own one of the finest collector cars on the planet.

1967 GTX Survivor vs Corvette
Unrestored 1967 440 GTX drag racing for the first time in 38 years. This 1967 440 4 speed Plymouth GTX was stored in a warehouse in 1973. I purchased it in 1998 and was the first person to drive it on the road since '73. I put it in a shed awaiting restoration 9 years ago. On the day this video was taken (October 30, 2011) it literally had dirt dauber nests and cob webs still in the engine compartment.

Test Driving 1969 Plymouth Road Runner 383 V8 4 BBL Four Speed
I thought you'd like a look at this 1969 Plymouth Road Runner in action. It's powered by a 383 V8, with an Edelbrock intake, 4 BBL carb, coated headers, and Air Grabber induction. All the power is being funneled through a hurst shifted four-speed manual back to an 8 3/4 rear. This car runs out strong and it's in absolutely immaculate condition. It's as clean in the engine bay and underneath the car as it is on the outside. The interior looks showroom new as well. This car is a proven show winner as well. I hop you find it interesting....thanks for watching!

This fine GTX convertible is an all original panel, rust-free, numbers-matching car that definitely turns heads.
The Racing Green Metallic paint shines brilliantly in the sun, the white top, stripes and interior complimenting the classic dark green finish perfectly. Racing Green (GG1) is arguably the best looking shade of green Chrysler put on their cars in the muscle car era. Sure, Limelight and Sassy Grass is cool, but GG1 is a MAN'S color. It shows as black at night and looks sinister during the daylight hours. Even if you're not a fan of green (the MOST popular color of the 1960s), you can't help but admire GG1. Speaking of the paint, the car was just given a high quality complete strip and repaint and looks like a show winner.
On a GTX, there's plenty of bright work to add interest without taking away from the lines. Magnum 500 wheels with Goodyear white letter tires are the perfect touch at the corners, giving the car can athletic stance. The grille, headlight bezel and tail panel bezel are anodized aluminum pieces with textured argent and chrome components, and are very expensive to restore. Figure $3,500.00 for a set. These pieces have been restored by King of Trim and look like a million bucks. The stainless trim has been polished and is in excellent condition, both bumpers and the fender-mounted turn signals have been re-chromed, while new marker lights and new taillights add shine.
Under the hood you'll find the original, numbers-matching 440 cubic inch Super Commando engine. Torn down, rebuilt to stock specs and wearing a fresh coat of Chrysler Turquoise paint, it looks great with a ton of other restored and new parts. A freshly restored air cleaner assembly and new pie pan cover an original style Edelbrock AFB carb atop the original intake manifold which is also home to a restored original coil and bracket. The firewall has a new ground strap and reproduction ballast resistor, and a restored wiper motor and master cylinder. A brand new Glen-Ray reproduction radiator keeps everything cool while reproduction heater hoses keep passengers warm. We just installed a new Group 27 red cap battery for that exactly right look.
The engine is backed up by the original 3-speed TorqueFlite automatic, newly rebuilt, that clicks through the gears with authority. It churns a set of 3.23 gears on a Sure Grip limited slip, all packed inside an original and durable Chrysler 8-3/4 rear. 3.23s are ideal for cruising that torquey 440 don't need a lot of gear to get this car rolling, and the 3.23s give it long legs on the highway.
Drop underneath for a view of the amazing undercarriage. There's no sign of rust or any hard living under there. Lift the trunk mat, get cozy with the floor pans and frame rails this is one incredibly clean car. It has never been completely disassembled, and all the panels are original, which means that you can drive the wheels off of the car without worrying about getting the bottom dirty. More importantly, there aren't any smoke-and-mirrors repairs under there you can see for yourself how clean it is. Glance over the recent Exhaust system with Dynomax mufflers and the well maintained suspension and brakes.
Inside, the white interior is the best feature of a convertible. Ever ridden in a drop top with black seats? It's a revelation to sit on white upholstery. The seats are in fantastic shape, as are the original (undamaged) dash pad, the bright and clear gauges and the redone lettering on the dash and the restored center console top plates. Not too long ago, we installed new Legendary door panels, new armrests and bases, new inside door handles and new headrests for a fresh look. And check out the contrast between the white seats and green seatbelts gorgeous! The original AM/FM radio is present and works. The white top's in great shape, too, and the power mechanism functions as new.
Ask anyone with a muscle convertible what the best part of owning one is and they'll tell you it's the open air coupled with massive power. Experience it for yourself and call today!
