Yeah well shes a numbers matching car so will be nut and bolt correct and the engine block has been fully rebuilt and she will be stock but the only thing I will change is the colour as she was dark metalic green, white bumble bee and black roof and although that looks good but I allways wanted Hemi orange, black bumble bee and roof.
I will never sell it and don't get me wrong am in turmol about the colours but green just dont have that impact Hemi orange has.

The other oddball thing is ( and I know this will start somthing)
shes a Six-Pack car with A/c and the thing to that is after a lot of searching and contacting past owners in the states is that although they never offered the Six-Pack with A/c some dealers would order a 440 4bl A/c car and have the carbs changed even interiors swapped out.
A mountain of experts have all said this is both true and Bananarama! but fact is my vin has a V on the sequence and a U on the dash and all other codes match.
As said true or not matters not to me but other features are the Power windows and wood grain interior so thats how shes gonna go.
