Exterior
White paint with yellow and gold accents presents well, overall the paint is good with some chips mostly present where the hood and trunk meet the body. Chopped roof and filled fenders are well done and give this Dodge that classic “kustom” look.
Glass is overall in good shape and is free from cracks, a few scratches can be found on the windshield. Body is in good shape, there is some damage behind the bumpers, looks like it happened while the bumpers were off the car. Front bumper does show some pitting and rust towards the center, “Fluid Drive” script rear bumper has some wear and rust at mount points but overall is in nice shape. Grill is in good shape with only one minor dent fount. Trim looks to be complete with no rust or pitting but does have some dents throughout.
Interior
Interior is mostly unfinished with a carpet kit and headliner needed. Seat is in good shape with some signs of discoloration and a few minor scrapes in the material. Windows have been converted to electric with the cranks converted to switches to operate the electric mechanisms. Trunk is also unfinished.
Mechanical
This Dodge is powered by a recently rebuilt 360 V8 backed by a 727 Torqueflight automatic transmission. Front and rear ends are sourced from a 1972 Camaro and retain power brakes and steering. Tilt wheel has been added to the car. Rear shocks are air and can be raised and lowered from inside the car.
If you are looking for a custom cruiser that just needs a few more custom finishing touches this is it! This car certainly is unique and quite the head turner. Since rebuild and custom work this Dodge has been driven lightly mostly to local shows.
