  Never seen it before. It may belong to someone in the San Diego Mopar club?

I think so too..
I'm so happy for my wife!  And, I'll get a chance to drive it too 
At least she didn't buy the El Camino she was looking at

  Ya it's nice, I guess the only thing better is a stroked 360 which is a 402 or 412 can't remember.

Doc
the only thing I can say to you about the car is this.  If this guy is a submariner, then he is probably wicked smart and anal and meticulous, which in this case is a good thing because that means he showed pride in owning this car and probably took very good care of it.  I'm in the Navy as well(aviation side)  and I've noticed that guys who have the older cars always try to keep them pretty cherry.  Unlike the newer sailors with the newer stuff, they just trash it or put coffee cans on for muffler, etc....
I would venture to say you won't get any unpleasant surprises.  Let me know if I was wrong.
And you should leave the dice, i have a set in my 55.

Nice.  Thanks Mike.
I wasn't afraid of this car at all. He knows what he's talking about and being an E6, he's not a young snot nosed newbee.  He's been handling the transaction with the military exactness (that you describe and) I'm used to myself (Cdn Army).
He is happy that it's going to another serviceperson ( my wife is Army as well) 
I felt bad that he has to sell his car, but not sorry for him going to Hawaii 

For sure, the dice are staying...

Nice looking car ! The only thing I see that might need to be addressed is the single reservoir master cylinder.

It's got Wilwood discs all around and an adjustable propotioning valve, but that old M Cyl...

Cool car, especially with the 5 speed. Your wife should be really proud of it, it is a very nice Mopar.

Thanks Arthur!
It was mostly done by that sailor and his dad.
My wife is VERY excited.

It's due to arrive the 1st of July !!!
Very fitting considering that's Canada Day (our national birthday) and it's red and white (like our flag).
