Agree: The off brand guys want a 68-70 Charger or a 71 Cuda. True Mopar guys will drive anything Chrysler made. That's kind of why I prefer the more obscure stuff I guess.
Would you buy it?

Do not have to change k member or use conversion mounts.
Only thing that could make this car a problem is the vinyl top. If you see it's has bubbles under the vinyl. I see top is peeled back so you should have a good idea what's going on.
If it's as rust free as it looks then yes.
If it were anywhere near me, I'd already own it.
I have access to at least 3 66-70 low miles C body 440 donors all w/AC. I could have that thing up and running and sitting in the Carlisle Car Corral for 17K by July.

Sounds to me that @azblackhemi knows who owns it, so if @Paul_G is gonna snooze, someone in here is gonna make him lose. 
Can't wait to see whose driveway this ends up in.

I don't invest in cars. I save them. I put classic cars back on the road without the high dollar cost of full restoration. Many can not do the work themselves that it takes to get a classic road worthy and reliable again, or have the money to have one restored. But they have the love for them same as we do. I have done this to a couple of Mopars now since I retired. I am making money at it, about $2.50 an hour. It is not about the money, it is about saving the car and passing it on for others to enjoy. I can't do it at a loss. I am not rich, I just have the time.Thing is, if you want a car cause you like the car and will enjoy it, buy it.... if you are buying it as an investment.. don't and let someone else buy it

I also know Rob. But I won't bother him over the car if I can't make it work dollar wise.Sounds to me that @azblackhemi knows who owns it, so if @Paul_G is gonna snooze, someone in here is gonna make him lose.

Classic car restoration is a business who has a unique clientele. The customers are willing and able to spend $100,000 restoring thier favorite car all the while knowing it is only worth $75,000 when completely done.
Who wouldn't want customers like that.

That is a ok by me. I am not in love with that particular car, I love all Mopars. If someone here wants to get that one back on the road I will help you purchase it. I know who owns it. If you want to stick it out in a field and let it rot just to say you own it than no. That is what I want to avoid.Sounds to me that @azblackhemi knows who owns it, so if @Paul_G is gonna snooze, someone in here is gonna make him lose.

I guess that means the OP is not buying it.
Bye bye.

Aside from the missing engine and the repaint that's not in the original color (and the wheels) that car looks to be 99% "unmolested".
AWFULLY difficult to find them in that condition anymore.

If it was anywhere in Canada, it would be sold. They are not that clean up here. I personally could have it running for very little as I have spare running engines and transmissions. It certainly doesn't need a new drivetrain. That one needs to be just driven!
Hopefully somebody brings it to this site with their build thread.

You never know? The auto transport is coming today for the 73 I just finished. It was a rescue, it is going to a new owner in North Carolina. I will have an empty space in the garage that needs to be filled. I have a 69 RR resto mod convertible in the garage right now, another rescue. I am putting a 440 engine with a Procharger in it this week. It wont be for sale till next year. I want to have some fun with it before it goes to it's forever home.
