I know it looks like a toothless hillbilly - but a friend is giving me a GTX grill and tail panel if I want it.
Ugliest part of the car is this quarter panel...
Yeah, CA car... no rust in the floors... a couple pinholes in the trunk - not even worth replacing the pan. Might spot patch it.
Proof it's a vert. It is missing the hydraulic cylinders and motor but that's not a huge deal. The frame has NO rust and moves as it should.
Looks like a later 318 or 360... no matter - It runs like a top. I will probably keep the small block in it for now.
I plan on making this look like a Satellite Sport / GTX with the different tail panel and grill - keep the 318 and have fun with it. No matter what its being converted to a 4-speed and probably get a 3.23 rear. If the 318 ever takes a dump I'll swap in a 440 and make it a legit GTX clone. The car is power steering and power brakes - should make a really nice cruiser here in SoCal --- I still have all the factory A/C stuff from my Charger so I also plan on installing that A/C stuff into this beauty. Do I need to? No - but why not?
