New 4 Core Aluminum Radiator, Hi Flow Aluminum Water Pump and Housing, March Underdrive Pulleys all keep this monster running on the street in 90 Degree Florida Heat at 180-190 Degrees...a much debated feat I recently demonstrated to a Mopar Buddy from Ohio on a spirited blast to Ft. Myers Beach!(along with a few other cooling secrets I learned from these Florida boys...it can be done and I did it!)

I've NEVER had any issues with Vapor lock or fuel boililng. Cal Trac Bars really launch this car arrow straight! Adjustable shocks front and rear. Custom street exhaust fabricated with 4" Header Mufflers that exit ahead of rear wheels and is legal. I have an additional complete street exhaust fabricated that I used in Ohio with cut outs that exit under fenders, running back to Flow Master 40's that also exit @ rear wheels. Both exhausts are designed identically to mount on custom hangers in 20 minutes...goes with car. This is all wrapped in an all STEEL RUST FREE Straight Body with fresh VIPER RED Paint in 2013. Paint is more flat and shiny than most "show cars" at local cruises. People ask who painted car and did this work...I smile and point to myself with help of an older friend who knows his craft..."THANKS RONNIE in BEREA OHIO! An entire Ohio Winter was spent blocking an already straight body. A shop would charge $8-$10K for this level of work. Only body modifications are Tied Sub-Frames, 3" strips added to width of rear wheel lips to comply with 10" tire width rule in N/SS Max Wedge rules on track and top centers of rear wheel lips rolled to allow clearancing for 32" tall tires on track.

Car has dual electrical system. Headlight, turn, brake, signal, interior and dash lights are on original fuse box. Engine management is handled by a custom 8 circuit (painless style) box mounted on glove box door for easy access. Everything about this car was built/designed with common sense and ease of maintenance in mind. I have personally touched every fastener, screw and piece of this car multiple times over the years! The car is simply stunning to look at and is a hit everywhere it goes! I've known this car for 20 years and have enjoyed playing with her but it's time to pass her on. I moved to Florida last year and liquidated a Mopar collection except for this one I brought down. I just wasn't quite done sinking more $$$, sweat and heart into her and completing the conversion to street duty. Many said it couldn't be done...I did it! She's an incredible Hot Rod, Reliable, Fast and definately NOT FOR THE MEEK! She's VERY RED and a WILD EXTREME MACHINE that is very manageable and a blast to drive. It's always hard to wipe that "stupid boy smile" off my face everytime I climb behind the wheel of this beast! I've cruised her up I-75 to Punta Gorda (quickly) several times without issue and cruised her all around Fort Myers Beach area and never breached 195 degrees, even sitting at traffic lights. I'm closing the books on a 35 year Mopar career. This car is the pinnacle of all of my well earned years of Mopar knowledge through help of many dear friends, many departed. You will be thrilled to PUNCH THOSE BUTTONS AND PUSH THE GO PEDAL! JUST BE CAREFUL! I'm headed out on the Gulf with a fishing pole and new water toys on the back 9 of life. I'm sure there is more I'm forgetting but this is the big stuff off the top of my head. I have a clear Ohio Title in my name. Feel free to call me at 239-980-1395 to discuss car. Local pick up only. Thanks to all and GOD BLESS!
