1968 Plymouth Road Runner Description

What I'm selling is a mostly restored 68 Road Runner. I started restoring it about 8 years ago but am selling it because I don't thinkI amgoing to get around to finishing it. It has tons of new parts (less than 1,000) miles on everything listed.
Motor:It has a 500 cubic inch Indy cratemotor. The motor has ceramic coated headers with custom aluminized exhaustpipes.It produces 676 hp at the flywheel and 648ft/lbs. of torqueusing 92 octane gas. At no point in the power curve does this motor produce less than 500 foot pounds of torque. There is an 850 CFM Demon carburetor on a high rise intake. It is cooled by an aluminum BeCool radiator with twin electric fans.
Drivetrain: It has a Tremec 5 speed with a Hurst pistol grip shifter. A new clutch, pressure plate and driveshaft were installed with the transmission. It has a 4:10 Dana rear end. There is a set of brand new Hoosier 275/60/R15 tires on the rear and a set of Firestone 205/75/R15's up front. All are on Weld wheels.
Electrical: The engine compartment wiring has all been replaced and upgraded. There are separate systems for "always hot" and "hot with key in the on position". It uses an MSD pro billet distributor and an MSD spark box. There is a battery shut of switch under the back bumper. The battery has been moved to an aluminumbattery box in the trunk.
Suspension: The whole front end has been replaced and the front brakes are Wilwood discs with Line Loc. It has Super Stock springs in the back and racingshocks on all four corners.
Fuel system: The fuel pump is an electric Holly HP 125 fuel pump with braided fuel lines. There is a 15 gallon fuel cell in the trunk.
Interior: The interior is mostly stock. There are some gauges installed. On the steering column there is an Auto Gage tach with a shift light. In the dash there is an oil pressure, water temperature, and a voltage gauge. A new headliner was installed, also.
Body: The body is still in primer. The factory hood has been replaced with a '69 1/2 fiberglass hood. While the engine was out, theengine compartment waspainted Vitamin C Orange. The trunk pan was also replaced and painted orange. The bumpers are ok, but need to be re-chromed.
