One of only 1,282 ever built. Less than 100 currently registered in the United States! No rust, may have had a paint refresh over 30 years ago, but it's straight, clean and looking for a new home! Originally purchased at Strandquist Motors, Rockford, IL and rumored to have been dyno tuned by Mr. Norm at Grand Spaulding Dodge in 1966 when the hood scoops (Golden Lion Ram Induction decals still intact on the quarter windows) were added and the original 413 was replaced by a 440. Carbs, air cleaners and lines are all OEM. Factory original (cable driven) tach still works like new. Interior is clean, shows minimal wear and comes with an extra set of door panels in very nice condition! Remote control mirror looks great, adjusts well. Drives smooth and quiet. Original aluminum "Forward Look" ignition and trunk keys are in really good shape. Coker radial tires have less than 500 miles on them. Stored in a dry, rodent-free garage all its' life! Appraised at $66,000 by Hagerty Insurance two years ago. Please note data tag is missing from left door jam. Previous owner bought vehicle in this condition as did our father. This is a head-turner that needs a new home with someone who loved it as much as my father did.
