Who cares what Cbarge says, green is awesome. !thumb !thumb !thumb LOVE that interior, too. That car looks like all it needs is the engine brought back to life, bleed the brakes and you're good to go. It'll probably be real cheap to get running. Definitely keep it and enjoy it! !banana

Hey,I like green.Just so happens I had three green cars. Just a fluke the really nice ones are that color.Chrysler must have got a deal on bulk green paint.LOL!
I see some shadetree goin' on under the hood.vacuum linee to brake booster has a brass tee to the carb.Where does the other line go to on the right from it?? Booster should be plumbed to the large fitting poking up from the intake. I personally never did like the Holley 2bbl carbs. If you are going to pull the carb off,swap in a 4bbl intake and a nice 625 or 650 Eddy. Beter driveability and improved MPG. Still running points? Dont see a ECU. You can convert the points to Pertronix or install a Mopar Electronic Conversion Kit. Again,improved drivability and improved MPG.

Love that car! Definitely a keeper. There are a lot of slabsiders on DryDock, but I personally lean more towards a fuselage. Would love to own a wagon someday. Here is a lot of info on fusey's. !welcome, you will like it here. Good folks. !thumb
!welcome You sure have a nice SW with great family history. IMHO that's one of the best parts of this hobby knowing the backgroung of the car. Not sure if you've checked out the cost of " a smaller mid '60's Mopar" but you would be trading up in a major way. BTW green is a fabulous colour. Here's a link and you'll know why I think green is great.
If it was me I'd find all the documentation and put it in a binder. Do a nice write up cover page and it will be a great package to pass onto your kids. There are companies that look for orginal survivor cars to use in movies. It would be cool to have your SW preserved for posterity in a Hollywood flick! Bottom line fix it up, keep it and drive it. As far as your carb goes I can tell you what its not and that is a Thermoquad. Someone on this board will know what it is.

68Cbarge, The car dose have a bit of shadetree work that has been done over the years. The vacume lines are one, the front brake line are.....not so factory looking, and the a/c compressor has been removed too. Where can I find a diagram for the vacume lines to make shure they are right? It dose have electronic ignition. Not sure if it is factory was added later but it is all mopar parts.
Hwoo hoo that baby is a keeper! that carb is a holly 2210, I just rebuilt mine with help locating the kit from my cbarger friends. paid 40 bucks for it from this guy : Isgro Carb @ 1-516-783-1041 see this thread : http://www.cbodydrydock.com/forum_viewtopic.php?5.84334

Hoppy, I'll get back to you about the a/c parts. I have a lot to do before I need to worry about that. 68Cbarg, Thanks for the link, another $30 spent on EBay.
