It's not a boat it's a roadrunner project from Mesa
Guys this thing is as big as a boat and it's straight as an arrow . It's an original numbers matching car convertible 4 speed car and we just finished a brand new 426 hemi were going to dyno it on Monday and I'll give you some numbers hope you gear heads enjoy it. By the way this thing with the 383 would burn the tires for a block in any gear I can't wait to drive the 426.

Lord knows those 383 Road Toads needed all the help they could get. I remember running one off at the dragstrip with my full sized Ford with the little 289.

Beautiful! And God bless you for taking an original numbers matching car and doing what you want with it!! Please promise that you'll use it and abuse properly (instead of turning it into an... ahem... investment).
Being an old Mopar fan (well, I'm only 34)... most of my cars have been from the Mopar camp up until recently. My last was a '69 Coronet with a 498 CID Indy-head motor with a little bit of nitrous for that extra uumph. Reverse-manual 727, 4400 stahl, 4.30 gears.... yeah, she flew.
I cried when I had to deliver it to the new owner. I haven't had another running Mopar since then (some projects but marriage pretty much killed that), though I did find the owner of my Coronet and there may be a deal on the table to get it back. 
Nice car there sir!!
