t is a 1974 Plymouth Gold/Space Duster, 318/904.
About 103k miles.
FE5 Rallye Red over black.
Disc brakes, 5x4.5 bolt pattern.
Deluxe interior.
I've swapped in a factory 318 4-bbl, which came with a 340 6-pak purple cam, 340 connecting rods, and 360 heads, from the factory according to Mopar performance's website.
It also has Hooker headers, a Mopar dual plane intake, and an Edelbrock 650cfm carb, with a 1974 360 4bbl aircleaner, Holley mechanical fuel pump and a brand new aluminum water pump.
It also has new dual exhaust, 3" with 2.5" tailpipes.
The motor has about 3000 miles on it since I put it in.
I've also swapped in a set of very nice '71 Demon buckets.
The interior is in great shape, with a few minor cracks in the center of the dash pad.
All the seats are mint, with the exception of the driver's seat which has one 1/2" split in the seat back.
I've also put a 1971 Dodge demon front end on the car.
I've driven the car as a daily driver for a year now, and it's been very reliable.
I've also swapped in a '71 Demon cluster with 120mph speedo and good woodgrain.
I've removed the canopy top, and put on full vinyl roof trim, and sprayed the roof with rubberized undercoat.
Ansen Sprint wheels.
It also has a decent Sony sound system that was in the car when I bought it, with the headunit hidden in the glovebox, and the original am radio intact.

Here's the bad:
The windshield has a crack near the center from a rock that hit my car on the freeway last week.
Fuel gauge doesn't work.
One of the headers has an exhaust leak.
ATF leak from one of the transmission cooler lines.
Various minor dents, but I guess those are to be expected.

If you buy the car, it will also come with the following:
Original numbers matching 318 (with rod knock.)
Original '74 Duster front end.
Original Bench seat.
Original 14" wheels and wheel covers.
1971 Demon flat trunklid.
extra sunvisors (even though the ones in the car are good)
Original gauge cluster.
Full set of 5 Police Rallyes, and trim rings.
Edelbrock triangle aircleaner.
Original owner's manual.
Build sheet

This car has spent its whole life in California, so it has minimal rust.
It has a few rust pinholes at the rear bottom corners of the fenders, and inside the trunk seam, but is overall clean.
I'm asking $5,500 obo.
The car is located in Long Beach, CA.
Call me at 608.475.1311.
My name is Yuri.

I remember your little 'build thread' a while back, and how happy you were to own this thing. Especially how it "lifted a front wheel when you accelerated." Awesome looking car, somebody could put a week or two of elbow grease, and a few hundred bucks into this car and have something evil to show for it.

GLWS, Yuri!
