Hi all,

It's been a long time since I was on this forum. I started a restoration thread on here with this car almost 10 years ago and I'm now considering selling the car and move on to another. I feel "done" with it now and I just can't back to the joy of wrenching and driving it. Anyway, here are some basic details:

Original BS23N1 with the matching engine long gone, I have the original 23-spline 833 that goes with the car.
Now has a fuel injected 472 Hemi (all details in the build thread here) with hydraulic roller lifters and Stage V roller rockers.
Fully ported Stage V heads.
Ceramic coated headers and 3" TTI exhaust all the way.
833 18-spline Passon overdrive transmission with a McLeod RXT twin disc clutch.
Strange S60 with 4.10 gears
Twin tag car with A22, A62 etc..
The front seats are still 71 vinyl, but I have a set of Legendary leather covers and foam that goes with the car.

How much is it worth?

Great looking car. Is it not fun to  drive? I don't know the value but I'm sure others will chime in.

Thank you!

It's a blast to drive. It needs a better tune to really shine
Biggest reason is that I just can't drive it with my family (wife thinks it's too powerful and I actually agree). I don't want to build this car again with another engine, trans etc. so I figure it's better to let it go as is and buy something different. Maybe build another more cruising friendly car.

I also miss my old car, a 68 R/T Charger.

So here I am with lots of thoughts and emotions. I did put a lot of hours and money into this car..
