Thanks guy's.
Yes, it was not cheap. Over the next year or so my plan is to get this car perfect. Iam very particular about my cars. It was not easy to find as I wanted a car that looked standad(ish) but was built to run hard, straight and rattle free when needed, and be a convertible  Whats needed is detail to rate this car A+.

Here is a link to the car I'm selling to make way for the Cuda. Talk about an about face....lol

Your Godzilla is the ONLY jap car I'd be proud of, nice taste. EVEN better taste now you've moved on to the big boys toys.
To get it as a class one type show car, wheels for one...depends really, do you want a "clone" that has everything correct or just a perfect condition beast? lol

Awe, you'll love that 472 Hemi brute over your old Skyline GT-R34 anyday!!! =D  It may be tough to top the handling, but it won't matter 'cause you'll be behind a brutal HEMI beast!!!!!

Opps, I didn't see that it was a 604 Hemi before.  You might want to get some larger tires for that sweet ride.  Otherwise, you'll be going through tires almost as fast as you'll be sucking through fuel. =)  Man, I envy that car!!!!! 
BTW: do you have any underbody shots of it available to post on here?  I'm curious how much it was beefed up underneath to keep from flexing the body/frame.  I'll also have to recheck the photos to see if it has torque straps.

My guess would be around 580-600hp at the flywheel?

May be a little off topic, but isnt the '68 R/T stripe ment to be split down the middle?


Your exactly right andrew, good eye.
All 68 tail stripes were that way.

it's a 69 stripe. 70's did not have R/T in them as this was on the door scoop.

Good to be here. So how many KIWI's now...lol
Yep, its about 600hp. Can get the Indy heads and intake worked for another 100hp which I'll probebly do, then do a 250hp shot as I'd like to see it do low 10's eventually.
