Hello! My name is Ariana, but I'm usually called Ari. Early last year, I was headed to a junkyard in my state with a friend of mine who is very into the Mopar world, and I told him I would love to have a Plymouth like his (A '77 Gran Fury). So, while at the junkyard, he lead me over to where there were about four classic muscle cars and we looked them over. We settled on two to choose from, one of them was a pale green, the one that I ended up buying then and there for $600. The guy said he was sure it ran and it even came with a title, so he carried it out with a forklift and we got it towed home.
We found out that it may be a one of one!
The interior is almost totally intact save for a hole in the driver's seat that can be re-woven, and cracks in the dash that could be fixed as well. My friends and I had to do a ton of engine work on it. The engine was stuck since it had been sitting since 2012, but we soaked the cylinders in ATF for a week, and were able to break it free without damaging it, and it ran!... sort of. We had to replace and fix a lot of things, new timing chain, fixed the carburetor, found a low cylinder, rebuilt the heads, found the correct alternator for it since the previous owner put in an alternator from a Plymouth truck and made it work somehow, early non-egr intake, holley 2 bbl, and a single exhaust with a glass pack. It took a full year of work, and while we're still working out some kinks, being rust in the gas tank and some electrical issues in the brake lights, it runs like new! Pictures are attached
