Looks like a recent paint job. I hope it is not hiding too much.

i put a bid in for it when it was primer grey but got out bid and it didnt make reserve, saw it was re-advertised on ebag, called the bloke up had a chat saw it last week, made an offer and the rest as they say is history, she will need some work done sometime but nothing too serious, a few little things need tidying up, hood pins, wheel well, all the electrics work ive got all the original trim pieces

Nice car, if we can fill one more bay we can open a small museum

currently we have, Barracuda, Aspen, Dart, Charger and one Drag bike (in bits undergoing restoration by my 15 year old daughter.)

I like that - its (to me) a very period looking car.

Any pics of under the hood.?

With hindsight, I probably would have bought an A body, and 440-6'ed that.

That so badly needs a fibreglass front bumper.

Nice car, though

I like that, very nostalic .... What are you planning for it ??

Ivor · Post by **Ivor** » Mon Sep 22, 08 5:32 pm

Yep, that gets my vote too, I love it just as it is, though I'm with Pete on the front bumper...a glass fibre one will save you about 60lbs at least and it'll look the part!
