Well that's not
all the factory rare options but it should give you a good idea of how loaded up
with factory rare original options it has and that’s all I could think
of off the top of my head and a glance or
two of the numbers from the factory original fender tags & factory
original broadcast sheet, Which I have
included with pictures below for your review and you can d-code for yourself.
Now I'd like to
tell you about the originality & all numbers matching to this really super cool
and
very rare drop top movie star fish. It would be so much easier to tell
you what is not original and numbers matching about this car than what
is! I'll try to do my best anyways.
Let's start with the interior, It’s all original, Seats, Carpet, Dash pad, Gauges, Radio, Deluxe seat belts, Prismatic rear view mirror, Door sill plates, Door panels & Factory Chrysler/Plymouth dealer installed floor mats. All original factory tinted glass including rear convertible glass (except windshield) it was replaced around 1975. The convertible top is also original including the rear dust boot/tonneau cover, Snaps have been added to boot & trim.
The exterior of the car is also original, Well it’s kind of original, Due to the upper brass at Paramount Pictures in 1970 they wanted the color just a little shade darker, I believe and have been told it was for the cameras to pick up the cars image better in the daylight, So the car was just scuffed and painted a hue or two darker, But just the exterior not under the hood or door jambs. When the Chrysler dealer bought the car in 1972 he later had his factory Chrysler/Plymouth paint shop re-scuff and re-squirt the car but again just the exterior with the factory Chrysler EF8 Ivy Green Metallic paint. So the paint is kind of 1970's original, But that's the facts jack and the paint still looks great today!! All the body panels are original as well as the Doors, Floors, Front and rear bumpers, Front & Rear valances, Chrome racing mirrors, Grille, Road lamps, Gilled Rocker panels, Wheel lip moldings, Sport hood, Hood locking pins, Rear deck lid & Luggage rack.
Now for under the Hood, Trunk, Under-Carriage & Wheels; From the radiator to the rear exhaust bright tips its all original, Radiator, 7-Blade HP Fan, Thermal fan drive unit, 50 amp dual pulley 3438 178 alternator, Federal power steering pump, Brake power booster, Voltage regulator, 3-Speed Wiper motor (Original but looks to have been rebuilt and painted the wrong color), Carburetor (Carter 4-bbl. AVS # 4933s) Which I still remember the first time I removed the air cleaner and joy came to my eye that it was still the factory un-touched carburetor with all factory linkages, Idle solenoid, Choke, Carb. ID tag w/date, It still even has its factory idle mixture screws limiting "caps!" a un-heard of thing to see, WOW!!, Well they are still there. I didn't even touch or move them, That’s just a good testament of how original and un-touched this little `Cuda Convertible really is, Anyways back to original parts, Prestolite dual points distributor, Intake manifold, HP-Exhaust manifolds with the factory heat shield still there and un-touched and it even has a little factory engine paint still on it, Oil pan, Inspection cover, Clutch - Bell housing, Transmission, Drive line, Rear axle assembly, Head pipes, Mufflers/Resonator hangers, Muffler Heat Shields, Over the axle pipes, Exhaust bright exhaust tips with hangers and brackets, Resonators "MIA" a little trick use back in the day to get a little throatier exhaust note, Mufflers have a 73 date code on them, Front brake rotors, Rear brake drums (still has factory red paint on them), Gas tank, straps & cap, All four factory original Oriflow Shocks, The 15x7 2944 390 Rallye Wheels, Trim Rings, Center Caps & Chrome Lug Nuts are all Chrysler Factory Originals. Inside the trunk is all so factory correct and all original including, Trunk Mat, K2 spare wheel, BF-GOODRICH F-78x14 collapsible spare tire, Air bottle & Bracket, Jack stand, Post w/mechanism & Tire lug wrench. The Engine, Transmission & Rear axle assembly are also all Numbers Matching and look to have never been opened up, taken apart or ever out of car!!
Driving & Operational Condition; The MANNIX Convertible Starts, Idles, Runs, Drives, Shifts, Turns, Stops & Go's straight down the road with hardly one hand on the wheel, Just like the little Gem it really is and that's fantastic and a real blast to drive. MANNIX is very quick & nimble from the stop light & through traffic and has loads of power & plenty of speed at the asking. All gauges, Instruments, Power Top & Radio work as new, Except for clock & left rear window. A/C works just fine but could use a can a freon. MANNIX moves down the highway with very little effort at 70 MPH at about 2200 rpm with just a little touch on the gas pedal, Thanks to those 3:23 Chrysler Gears!
