This was originally a South Carolina car before being bought by Chuck from Ohio. His original intention was to bracket race the car, but because the car was so straight and clean he decided against it. I bought it from him and drove it back to Minnesota. It came freshly painted (Dodge Ruby Red Pearl) with welded in SFC's, Jamex lowering springs, and a fourth-gen interior swap. I have over the years "enhanced" it by installing a ZZ383 GM crate motor (2008), a built 700R4 with a 2800 RPM stall, and a fourth-gen disc rear with 3:42's. Recently I have installed new carpet, new battery, new brake master cylinder, replaced the front crank seal, fresh plugs in 2018, and had the tuner over this spring to double-check everything was running as it should....it is. The car runs reliably and strong with an old school Holly Commander brain. The wheels and tires are off a late-model Vette and have the appropriate size billet aluminum spacers upfront. They are a staggered set with 17's (245/45ZR17) upfront and 18's(275/40ZR18) in back. This is NOT a show car, it is a very nice driver. In full disclosure, if I were to keep it I would replace the top (not horrible but beginning to show its age) and reseal the oil pan. I have mountains of receipts going back for what seems forever. It sounds fantastic (Gale Banks exhaust). In my opinion, there is adequate power, but for the unwise, the back end will break free and get you sideways in a hurry if you put it to the floor. This car has never seen snow and I have been caught in the rain only once. Miscellaneous notes; A/C delete, adjustable aluminum LCA's/track bar. Look for me to add to this post as I remember stuff...Again, this is not a show car, just a very pretty driver. $10,300. Thank you -Rick

Couldn't resist on a recent 80F day to take her out and smile. Also topped off with non-oxy 91 octane. Lots of tire kickers so far. That's OK, I'm in no hurry.

I'm guessing the pics you posted don't do the car any justice, at least going by the description. I would respectfully suggest you get someone who knows their way around a camera to give you a hand getting and posting some better quality pics. It would also be a good idea to post some interior shots.
I'd venture that with better pics you could get more than your asking price come spring. Anyways, good luck with the sale and here's hoping for a speedy recovery.
New owner backing out of my driveway with Ruby. Hard to see go as I have owned it since Sept 2001. Call me old-fashioned as I seem to get overly attached to cars...and dogs.
