I would definitely not ever take it back to stock. The car has more history the way it sits now, I think. And, I'd run the slots full time but that's because Magnum 500s don't really do much for me these days (zero disrespect meant here). Cool car and cool story.

Ain't no fun in viewing your car as an 'investment'. Get out there and beat on it!

I love the slots, but I refuse to remove the brand new 45ish year old bias plys, and no one makes a G60/14 or Ff60/14 anymore.

I love this junkyard dog. Unfortunately I didn't get into the yards until the late '80s and everything was already gone. I couldn't imagine what it was like in the early seventies.

I think the best thing I ever scored was some 86 Trans Am seats

Great story great car. my buddy had one just like it in high school. Same blue ta hood, black vinyl top. 340 dual quads, racer brown cam, hemi box and a 83/4 w 4.30 gears and cragars
He’d hammer the gears so hard you’d think the pinion snubber would
Cone trough the floor!

Looks like we're neighbors! I'm only around 10 miles from you. BTW, The air filter box says "Suburban Dodge" on it. That was the tiny dealer on Central Avenue in Metuchen that sold my 1970 Hemi Charger R/T-SE back in 1970.
