1968 Dodge Coronet 440

Here is my 1968 Dodge Coronet 440 2DR hardtop.  

Big Block 440 CID. (. 040 over). automatic transmission. power steering. power brakes. A/C car.   I bought this five years ago as a retirement project and have accomplished my goal.   It was in rough shape when I took on the project and looks a lot better now. Originally a small block car. I installed a 440 a month ago and have put on less than a 100 miles since installation.   Fresh valve job. new cam. pistons. oil and water pump. transmission rebuilt less than 100 miles on it. new 750 cfm Quick Fuel Technology carb by Holley.   The only power plant parts that are not new are the oil pan and intake manifold.   I converted it to electronic ignition and power disc brakes in the front.   8 3/4 rear end. practically new dual exhaust system. (from a Cuda). new gas tank and trunk pan.   The interior is all new. all electrical systems work. except the radio.   The speedometer doesn't work; I have a replacement cable. but haven't fully troubleshot it yet.   I replaced the instrument cluster with one that looked better; the original odometer. reads 28. 03.   It currently has a two core radiator that has been freshly cleaned out. but also have a three core from a C-body that will go with the car if the buyer wants it.   It had rust in the lower quarters. so I replaced them.   The body is not perfect; there are minor dings from what I think was hail damage while at the body shop waiting to be painted.   It was painted in May of 2014. it looks blue in pictures. but the paint code is dark metallic turquoise.   There is an area in each rear inner fender well that needs to be cut or ground out and a patch welded over. (driver side is about the size of a quarter and passenger side is aprox 1x2".   My plan was to address this issue over time. but have decided to sell the vehicle.   I can provide pictures of these spots if needed.   The dash pad is cracked. so I covered it with a carpet dash mat.   Wheels are new 15x8s at the front and 15x10s at the rear with air shocks.   I have the belt and wheel well moldings. but didn't reinstall them after paint; I also have the "CORONET 440" letters and numbers that will go with the vehicle.   All front suspension parts were replaced except lower control arm bushings because I wasn't familiar with removing the torsion struts. but I think I have the parts on hand. The glass is original; the side front window seals that mate up to the rear quarter windows need to be replaced.   I removed the A/C pump and brackets when I installed the big block. but they will go with the car.   This vehicle is a drivable work in progress; don't expect a show condition vehicle.   I preferred the blacked out grille look. so I changed out the grille. but have the aluminum colored grille with the DODGE letters that I will include for an extra $50.   I also have assorted spare parts that I sell for a good price.   I can take and send more pictures if needed.   Bidders with less than 5 feedbacks need to call; I will cancel bids from bidders with less than five that do not call.  

Winning bidder must pay a non-refundable deposit of $2000 within 24hrs of auction end and submit full payment within 7 days.   Buyer is responsible for shipping or transportation; the vehicle is in Albuquerque. NM.   This car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at my discretion.  

I'm sure there are things that I have forgotten to mention. so feel free to ask questions.

Thanks for looking.
