It is obviously in magnificent condition and even without going into wether its a genuine D500 or not, it is worth big money. Being that its worth the "Big Money" look up the big money 60 plymouth fury convertables and the like for idea of condition and price. They have been for sale for years. So, 2 ways to sell it, either base it off those cars and lower the price to actually get a buyer or put it across the auction block and see if you land a big fish. I believe (going by the description and the photos I have seen so far) that the car is going to be out of the price range of the average person. I do not believe that the seller has no idea on price, because if that was the case, someone could buy it for $10 or $20K And if $10K gets it, let me know and I will do what I can to get the money to the seller  | ||

Expert Posts: 2244 Location: Yorba Linda, Ca | These are specially made combo of short & Long ram tubes on the engine. This engine was specially built for the car. It supposedly had 500HP and only ran on AV gas. It always ran hot with the temp gauge peaked all the way to the right. He ran ethelene glycol to kep it from boiling over. The engine turned out to be a piece of junk, it developed a knock, as I recall. upon teardown, one head was from a 361 and I think the other was a 383 (based in head marking numbers). At any rate, this engine was replaced by one Aivar bought from the Petty Bros in Arizona. This engine was a "Street engine" It runs great on 91 octane & with a new radiator It runs nice and cool (about midscale on the temp gauge) The AC was removed due to the cooling problems with the junk engine and never reinstalled. I've driven the car numerous times. I drove it to the tranny shop (A1 Transmissions) to have the tranny rebuilt It was junk also. Same guy that sold him the 500 hp engine. The car runs absolutely fabulous and the tranny shifts well The car has always been garaged and also covered with a car cover as all his cars were. Anyway GOOD EYES on the "Long Rams", there "one of a kind", specially built Gary Edited by 1959Dodge 2024-02-08 3:58 PM (Dark Fin Engine_0_0_400_300_0_0_1_1.jpg) Attachments ---------------- Dark Fin Engine_0_0_400_300_0_0_1_1.jpg (34KB - 19 downloads) | ||
