If you own the Charger 500 or Daytona with this vin number - XX29L9B210748 - I have your a833 4-speed. NOTE - Will only sell/trade to the legit owner of this vehicle. I figured I'd post this in case someone has the car and/or restoring it. Would be a shame not to reunite it with the original car.
Story - Going back 3 weeks.
The tranny on my 68 RR has been whining for a while, and recently the clutch started slipping, so I took the sign from above that now would be a good time to rebuild both. Once the tranny was opened, we saw that the gears were roached. 4th gear had 5 missing teath and strange gear wear through the entire gear set (Car was raced at one time). Best option was to throw in a complete gear set. Usual vendor does not have full gearsets in stock(No input shafts or 3rd gears), and others are asking obscene prices. So since I knew someone cleaning out the shop(Retiring) who had a transmission he wanted to get rid of ...I figured I would buy it, and use it while I'm waiting for parts for mine.
I had him measure the retainer to make sure it fit the bellhousing ... He gave me the vin number (But I thought he said XS), settled on a price, and drove down to pick it up. After a few mintes, of looking it over an BS'ing with him, I took a look at the VN Number. It took a few seconds to sink in, but when I realised what it came from, ... my jaw almost hit the ground.
The tranny is now in the Hemi Roadrunner, and works fine. Shifts smooth, no whining(From what I can tell with the exhaust note as it is) .... so I'm going to leave it in there until my transmission is completed. If I do not find the owner of XX29L9B210748 ... I may just leave it there and have my rebuilt original as a spare. Probably the closest I'll ever come to owning a Daytona or a 500. :headbang:
