I bought this Dodge from the original owner's family. It was 100% original but had almost 170,000
miles on it. This 440 model came with the 285 hp 383 2 barrel engine, ac, "white hat special" option, column shift,
and the police suspension (bigger brakes and a 3.23 Sure Grip diff). Since it was not exactly a rare car I chose to
have some fun with this. I rebuilt the 383, added some modified 915 heads, Edelbrock intake, Carter carb,
ignition system, and rebuilt the 727. I removed all of the old trim, cleaned up the interior, trunk, etc, put a Hemi
hood scoop on it, added a dual snorkel air cleaner, and replaced the army green paint with 1973 Cadillac Green.
