Do you have any history on the car?

You would think that such a clean, low mile car would have come with a story passed down from the previous owners.

Not much on the history, car was from Syracuse, sold and went to Indiana then NC and to me in Ga.

@rv2 is still looking for the history of DM43M3D263493.

If the car is originally form Syracuse, then perhaps @Big_John may have heard about it or seen it?

I don't remember seeing the car.

It doesn't look like a Syracuse car though... Or at least one that saw any winters here. That makes me wonder if it was brought here from somewhere else and then resold.

Some updated under hood pics
I have bought all the original hoses, condenser and air compressor to eventually put back original.
I’m looking for an original positive battery cable.

Another

If you’re going back to original, May I ask what compressor you currently have?

The current one on the car is a Sanden(pictured) and the original is a RV2
I bought all the used A/C parts from Mopar Restos/ Frank Parks 7068572832
Great guy to deal with.

If the Sanden setup works, do you really want to change it? I would leave well enough alone. I am currently considering going the other route for the car that I plan on driving a lot.

@Big_John

The Sanden and its clones work really well. Hard to beat in that respect.

Visually, it's right up at the top where your eyes go to it first thing and it just doesn't look OEM at all. It's not like an ignition ECU where you could hide it in plain sight and most people wouldn't see it.

@Big_John

I wont be removing it anytime soon since it does blow cold but I did want all the original components for the car.

Yeah that does bug me, I might paint it satin black.

We need to develop a cover that looks like the RV2.

Kind of like the stick on Mopar tops for batteries.

I thought about that years ago to put on my road runner.
I did see on Facebook recntly where a guy had made something like that for his superbee.

 

[fury fan]

I'll be odd guy out, then.
To me a Sanden suggests an AC system that has been upgraded with new parts and likely to last for a few years.
An RV2 makes me think of a system that is possibly on its last legs. 'AC works fine just needs recharged'

I know it's just perception, but the guys on here that documented their Sanden swaps were pretty thorough in the accompanying repairs.
