1979 Dodge Other

1979 Dodge St Regis2 owner car, I have owned this car since 1991 and have done so much to it over the 27 years I had it but its time to find a new home for it.
Car is not close to being stock. Has a 1978 Magnum front bumper. Has the headlight doors removed. Headlights need some more work to get them to adjust fully, they work OK. Front seats are from a 2012 Jeep grand cherokee. Has a DC steering wheel from the 80's. Speedo is a 120 mph police unit. Engine is a 1972 340 that was rebuilt with a factory forged steel crank in 2010. KB 10.25 pistons, runs on 93 octane gas. 1990's MP cylinder heads with the big valves. Built 904 trans with a TCI street fighter 10" converter. TCI Manual valve body and 3.91 gears in back. Even has dual carter comp. carbs and an Edelbrock intake manifold for 273. Exhaust manifolds are the 68-70 HP 340 units.
Car runs and drives fine, steering is a little sloppy on curves, needs a front stabilizer bar, I removed it for better traction on take offs. The battery is going on 10 years and should be replaced. Turn bilkers need some work.
Car is not perfect but looks very good. Body is mostly rust free, a few small spots need some repair. No head liner and carpet needs to be replaced. Bottom of quarter panels have some bondo but can not been seen and its pretty solid...car is 39 years old, stored winters and garaged kept always
I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff, car needs to be seen in person to see what all has been done to it. Many parts were NOS when I first put them on. The carbs are Caters competition 500's from the 1990's put on around 10 years ago. Same with the steering wheel, its made in Italy from the1980's, MSD dist and 7 box fires the plugs. Has 8,000 rpm tack were gas gauge used to be, has working auto meter gas and oil gauges
Car can be driven for hours, no problems, engine runs cool and idles good. Does leak a little oil from the back of the oil pan. Engine is good to 6,000 plus rpms. Has a hyd crane cam, 226 /230 duration, Grind number CCH-288 Commander
Car is being sold as is, any questions call or pm me, 248 470 9161
Will not part out.
