This beautiful Mopar was bought out of Irving Texas in 1990. It was used as a daily driver until 1997. In 1999 a full restoration was started. The entire car was taken all the way apart and media blasted. The car had a crate engine for a few years but has since been replaced with a 1969 440ci block. It was burgundy when he bought it, believed to originally be a black car.
