Without a skid-plate I would be worried about that oil pan. :doh:
 
This is a very-nicely done car, and all the hot-rod stuff is easily replaced to make it a contender in the stock class at most shows. That being said, the original 383 is gone so you don't get to ask matching-numbers money no matter how much you spent. In the process of "upgrading" to what appears to be a pretty enjoyable 440/727 layout (other than the heavyweight "downgrade" rods, truck intake and crappy carburetor), you might have considered installing disc brakes up front. :doh: I'm not sure what "all the dual point parts" are for, but they weren't from this car, and not likely original to the engine either. Not many 440s got dual points, and none with Six Pack rods were so equipped (A12 cars used standard 440 rods).

I don't think he's crazy on his asking, but I don't think he'll be pleased with the offers he gets. It's a nice car, but I don't think it's $40K+ nice in the current market.

All of the HP 440's from the late 60's came with them. :naughty:

Nope. Only 4-speeds, and only in B-bodies, '68-'69. In '67 it could go either way. I'm not sure what was the determining factor ("package car", i.e. GTX or R/T, only?) but single-point distributors were delivered in some 4-speed HP B-bodies in '67.

The exception is the E87 engine, which had dual points either way through to '71. Also, there's a Prestolite number for manual-trans '68 C-body 440HP, but there's a standard Mopar aluminum-body number too, so for the very-few examples of those cars built, it's a 50/50 chance either way. '67 440HP land yachts got single points regardless of transmission, and there were no 440HP '69 Sea-bodies built with a stick.

Regardless, there's not a single 440HP automatic-trans dual-point distributor that didn't come on an engine with less than 3 carbs.

Like I said, not many 440s got dual points. :D
