Pasadena, CA.
This car was purchased on July 3, 1968 by my father at Joscelyn Dodge in Culver City, CA. I was 14 at the time and went with my dad to help pick out the car. The purchase price was $3,912.00. It was originally yellow with a black vinyl roof and was a daily driver with a 318 engine. In 1978 I purchased the car from my father. I rebuilt the engine and transmission in 1979 and drove the car up the coast to Carmel, CA on my honeymoon. My wife and I drove the car until 1987 when it was parked in my garage for the next 20 years. In 2007 I decided to restore the car and do some minor upgrades. This started off as a simple project turned into major upgrade modifying everything from the engine, suspension, brakes and interior. I got the car running in November of 2008 and it has been an ongoing project ever sense. Everything has been replaced or modified in the vehicle. The vehicle has approximately 4,000 miles on the rebuild and averages 4-6 MPG.
