The body tag decoded is included in the picture set.
The faults on this car.
I bought this car from a man in the state of New York 12 years ago and have not touched the body.
From the paperwork and receipts provided tome, it appears the last owner did some fix up work in 2005-06.
The hood is not original.
The trunk deck air foil is not original.
The body has some cancer, but nothing huge or troublesome.
Paint is bubbling in front bottom corner of both doors (dime size spots); lower corner of rear tire wells in front of tires (dime size spots), and upper corners of drip channel on rear trunk as shown in the photos.
Trunk spots look the worst.
The rear end and transmission are original.
The engine is not original.  The rear bumper and front light bumper surrounds are powder coated textured black.
The good stuff.
Mechanically the car is sound.
Frame and suspension are good and clean.
I had the transmission rebuilt in 2008, and the engine was rebuilt in 2005 and has approximately 2500 miles on it.
New headers, clutch/pressure plate, throw-out,4-core radiator, and battery. New 25560R15 Cooper Cobra tires on original Mopar 15 inch police wheels. Runs good and stops good.
Power steering, power brakes.
I’ve never burned the car out.
I’m a speed guy and this car does it.
It will out run anything law enforcement drives after you hit 3
rd
gear and open it up.
It’s a heavy car, and at high speed it “
just glides and hugs the pavement
” and you feel in perfect control unlike the modern beer can metal/plastic cars.
All the lights work, some of the gauges do not which is why there are aftermarket gauges for oil pressure and temperature.
The oil pressure is direct feed and reads 55 lbs at idle warm.
Idle temperature is 185.
The odometer reads 59,000 miles, and no, I do not know if it’s rolled over or not.
I was going to do a few more items to return to original condition.
I have a correct N96 hood with all parts in very good condition, original mint condition headlight grilles, some miscellaneous dash electrical switches, a wiring harness (for spare parts) and a complete heater core/blower assembly.
New dash wood grain vinyl.
The tachometer and other gauges are available aftermarket and not hugely priced.
This car is for sale because I am moving and cannot take the car with me.
I’m sure there are questions, so if you are truly interested, you are welcome to call me.

Please don’t waste my time.
The car is located in Texas, approximately halfway between Houston and Austin, off Highway 71 outside a small town called Fayetteville.
I’m willing to take videos of car running and can put it up on a lift for more photos than I could include in the ebay ad.
