GarageScout Take

What separates it is the extent of the conversion: a 1968 Charger 440, A727 Torqueflite, Ford 9-inch rear axle, and Dakota-based chassis beneath the PT Cruiser body. At 755 miles since the build, it sits below the observed 4,300-mile floor for this generation.

Strengths

  • The 440ci V8 has an Edelbrock aluminum intake, four-barrel carburetor, fabricated long-tube headers, and a mild camshaft.
  • The engine refresh is stated at 1,000 miles ago, with machine shop receipts included.
  • The rebuilt A727 Torqueflite is paired with a Ford 9-inch rear axle.
  • The build uses a modified 1989 Dakota frame and custom chassis.

Watch For

  • The Ford 9-inch rear axle is only described as believed to house 3.80 limited-slip gears.
  • The stated 755 miles are since the build, rather than a total chassis mileage.
  • The chassis and drivetrain use heavily modified and non-original components, including a 1968 Charger engine, modified Dakota frame, and Ford 9-inch rear axle.
