This one was for sale several years ago. Guess he is trying again. If someone wants to buy my car which is the same but only a 318 and in good condition I'd get this one. I know fat chance ....

You aint serious Fred?

 

[detmatt]

Sounded serious, however skeptical...

That would be cool to have a pair of them.

 

[fc7_plumcrazy]

not to expensive. T-code?

 

[Fratzog]

It would be a fantasy to restore another one. Nessie would never sell for even half the insurance value. So realistically it won't happen.

 

[polara71]

not to expensive. T-code?

No, its a L code and a transplant

No, its a L code and a transplant

per Galen and $80.00

 

[polara71]

No, its an L code, decoded by Polara Dave and in today's world 80 bucks wouldn't buy a hill of beans

 

[fc7_plumcrazy]

L-code is slow. So for the fun it is good that it has a 440 now

Letter codes mean nothing IMO.

You need to know what your looking at

Right.
Let me re-phrase......letters mean nothing when it comes to speed/fun. There ya go.

Having it's original engine is more comforting to me, no matter how bad it is. I can't deal with the thought of how many shortcuts am I going to find. And I will...

I read ya there.....Hemi car, one of none and all that, yea I read you. Just saying U can turn an "L" code engine into any code ya want with parts, but obviously tht matters more with show cars....

And there it is. All the reason anyone needs to have and know their engine codes.

 

[70NPORT]

Agreed.
:and I don't like to see a bunch of helter skelter wiring poking out from the bottom of a dashboard either. I HATE seeing that esp. when the rest of the car is really nice and unmolested. Golden rule for me......walk away when that phenomena occurs.

 

[polara71]

Thats why you need to know your codes

 

[70NPORT]

Thats why you need to know your codes

THATs got nothing to do with knowing codes........and any shmoe can walk around with a list of codes in their back pocket by the way.
