THE HEMI ENGINE IS STOCK OUT OF A 1957 VEHICLE. PROBABLY NEW YORKER
CODE IS DE 57 IT WAS REBUILT TO STOCK.
IT HAS SINGLE WIRE ALTERNATOR. ALLOY INTAKE. STOCK CAST IRON EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTOR.
THE ENGINE IS NOT RADICAL. IDLES NICE. PROBABLY AROUND 370 HP. RUNS FINE ON PUMP GAS.

POWER WINDOWS WORK OFF THE SWITCH.
IT HAS THE BENCH SEAT IN PLACE WITH VERY OLD STYLE PATTERN.

THE UNDERSIDE HAS A NEW STATE OF THE ART CHASSIS AND FRONT  SUSPENSION
ALL MODERN WITH LINKS AND ARMS TO KEEP IT ROLLING STRAIGHT.

I WAS TOLD BY THE BUILDER AND LAST OWNER OVER 100K WAS SPENT TO THIS POINT.
THIS ONE IS REAL STEEL THROUGH OUT. AND VERY HARD TO FIND NOT CUT.
GOOD TITLE AND PAPER WORK.

THE COUPE HAS BEEN DRIVEN ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 120 MILES. PLUS LOT'S OF HOURS INSIDE THE SHOP.
THE LIGHTS WORK. GAUGES WORK. GOOD OIL PRESSURE. MINI STARTER IN PLACE. BATTERY IN THE CENTER OF THE TRUNK.
VIN # 18J459XXXC BRIGGS BODY TAG.
IT MAY STILL NEED SOME SORTING TO PUT IN REGULAR SERVICE. BUT WILL START AND RUN AND LOAD INTO TRAILER NO PROBLEM.
ALIGNMENT HAS NOT BEEN SET PERMANENT.  

IF YOU NEED TRANSPORT DONE I MAY BE ABLE TO ASSIST.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFO ON LOCATION OF VEHICLE.
THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY DRY STORED IN NORTH CAROLINA AND CAN SHIP FROM THERE. OR I CAN BRING TO OHIO AND SHIP.
I CAN ARRANGE FOR INSPECTIONS WHERE THE VEHICLE IS STORED BY APPOINTMENT.

THIS COULD BE A NICE WINTER PROJECT. MOST OF THE HARD EXPENSIVE WORK HAS BEEN DONE. I HAVE MORE PICS IF NEEDED. AND ALSO A VIDEO OF IT RUNNING.
YOU CAN EMAIL ME DIRECT IF NEEDED AT ULTRAMAN@FUSE. NET

I MAY TAKE A DEAL THAT SEPARATES THE ENGINE FROM THE PURCHASE PRICE. IT WOULD TAKE SOME WORK TO GO THAT ROUTE. BUT I WOULD LISTEN. I WOULD ALSO CONSIDER HAVING THE BUYER PULL THE ENGINE AND WORK OUT A CREDIT FOR THE RETURN OF THE HEMI AND TRANS.
SOME GUYS MAY PREFER A LS ENGINE OVER THE OLD SCHOOL SET UP. THAT SEEMS TO BE THE TREND.
THANKS. BOB
