(c) SaddleTramp Images. My brothers car, recently plated after an 8 year restoration project. We've both shared the MoPar Musclecar passion since we were kids. (My '70 Duster 340 is pictured in the Mopar set.) He's had many nice Mopars, a B5 Blue T/A Challenger 340 6bbl., a '70 'Cuda 340 Convertible (one of 111 made with his drivetrain options) also a '69 'Cuda with a hot smallblock and back when we both were younger a Plum Crazy '71 Dodge Demon 340. He restored this car himself except for some components outsourced like dash pad resto, heater box, A/C lines and the interior upholstery. Exterior, what you see is how it left the factory in 1969. Chrome trim, stripe kit, R/T hood, Rallye wheels et all. Factory installed 8 track not installed until we can locate the moulded dash trim part missing. Under the hood is anything but stock, and unless your one of those pretencious Hemi owners with a 1 of something made car- thats how it should be. The 383 big block is highly modified. Engine dress up is tastefully done. Engine dyno test revealed over 500 HP. Due to a 10pm noise ordinance, at the time of the dyno run they were shut down at 5,000 rpm. :) :) this motor is designed to make POWER past 6700 rpm. So therefor we never did get to do the full dyno run and who the hell knows how much HP was left on the table??? Hopeful to get the car in for a chassis dyno test and tune before winter shuts us down.

This is what appears to be a heavily-encrusted engine block which I encountered at Port Willunga beach. Why it's there is anybody's guess. Perhaps no-one wanted it? Is it supposed to be an artificial reef? Perhaps it's a motor from a long-sunk boat.
