New Ram Muscle Car clutch kit. Muncie M-21 four speed with Hurst shifter. 8.5 inch 10 bolt with new 4.10 gears and new Yukon limited slip. Engine was rebuilt to look stock, but is estimated to be in the 350 horsepower range.

Issues with the car: This is a 46 year old car with 4.10 gears and Bias Ply tires, so freeway driving isn't terribly practical. It has a few of the squeeks and creeks that these muscle cars have. The car runs a little rich and has the common Edelbrock stumble off idle that goes away when the car reaches full temperature. Sometimes it takes a few seconds to start the motor. These are all things that can be tuned out or fixed with a different carburetor. There is an oil leak in the engine and the trans, but not that bad. The four speed shifts fine, but the shifter and linkage may need to be fine-tuned. Front tires sometimes rub on the bottom of the fender with the wheels turned. Timing mark is aparently in the wrong spot, so car has been timed with the vacuum guage method. I wanted to be clear on any issues so you aren't surprised, but all in all, these aren't big problems and the car drives just fine and is very fun on the streets.

I recommend looking at the car in person or having a friend look it over, if possible. Email me with any questions. Buyer is responsible for shipping, but I will be available to help load. A down payment of $500.00 dollars is due within 48 hours and full payment is due within one week in the form of cash, bank transfer, or cashier's check (car will not be released until payment has cleared). Car will be relisted if payment is not made, NO EXCEPTIONS! Title is clear and in my name.
