beware the ugly beast, as it might house a monster motor

If the Ebay listing is correct, this 300C sat at a dealership unsold until 1990, when they took it out to play around, stuck in a crate 472, backed it with a race 727, and then they parked it in 2009.

Since it's claimed to never have been titled, and the MSO is missing, it's close to being something to avoid... smells like a problem waiting to be discovered the moment you take possession.

But that hemi.. hmmm.

a Dodge Stratus engine from 90s, a DOHC, four-valve straight-four is powering this streamliner

the builder/racer/owner knows his stuff too... he's got 22 records already in land speed racing, and 3 were while he was in college. Now he's an engineer in the engine technology dept of Mopar, and the current record holder in his class (under 3 liters) at 291 mph

This straight four.. has 800 hp. Twin turbos, then a super charger. Damn.

cool Mopar stuff at the Edelbrock annual open house

this is a 426 Max Wedge cast iron header... factory race parts were as good as after market, and legal for racing because they had factory part numbers
