I purchased the car from a friend in Southern California about ten years ago. It was an old drag car with a blown 440 that had been sitting, covered, in LA county since the 80's.
I put a Mopar 472 crate hemi in it and drove it in Montana for a few years, but between the short Montana summers and storage issues, I sold the car to a friend in Michigan with the caveat that I had first right of refusal if he decided to sell it, which I did in October of 2019. He claimed that he had only put about 500 miles on it. The plan was for my gal and I to drive it from Michigan to New Jersey for an event that I was crew-chiefing at, and then drive back to California, where we had relocated to in the Winter of 2018. Long story short, we made it to Pennsylvania where it ate a lobe off the cam. Fortunately, it was only 46 miles from Ray Barton's shop, whom I know from racing at Bonneville. Ray rebuilt the motor to his 472 specs (dyno sheet attached) and had the car shipped back to me in January of this year, when I kind of went off the deep end and did most of the upgrades listed in this post.
The only reason I am selling is that I am probably making the dumbest decision of my life and buying a vintage twin-masted live-aboard sailboat tomorrow. It's one of those things that just need to check that off my bucket list.
I am a lifelong Mopar guy who has owned MANY cars in my 56 years, and an accomplished mechanic and fabricator with ten landspeed records at Bonneville and two at El Mirage with our 1928 Dodge Roadster.
For 600+ HP, the car is very drivable and drama-free, is a pump-gas motor (93 octane), and corners and handles as well as a B-body can. If you want a "sleeper" that will give a Hellcat a run for its money, email me for detailed photos or questions. Located in Paso Robles, CA. Closest airport is San Luis Obispo. Fly out and drive it home.
Thanks for looking!
