Figured I'd follow up on the invitation to introduce myself and my ride. I purchased this Gran Coupe in 1978 and it was my daily driver for 3 years. It was not in very good shape but a solid car. Put it in storage in 81 and it slept in three different garages. 36 years later I finally started the restoration. Stripped it to a rolling shell and brought it to a Mopar Resto shop here in MN. 17 months later got it back as a painted shell with restored front suspension and rear differential only. I finished it up with full installation of rebuilt engine and transmission and all components. Finished it in 2022. Quite the process I might say, as you all may know. All stock (except the 71 hood), 383/4 speed, one of only 341 Gran Coupes made with a big block and A833 transmission. It's a "Rock" signed car and had two Broadcast sheets (one in driver seat was for a different Gran Coupe!) One car show....1 trophy.

Beautiful car ! I have always had a soft spot for the Gran Coupe's and then a big block, 4 speed. Couldnt ask for much more...
Looks like a nice job on the restoration, you can be proud of that one!
