Yup....the MIGHTY slanted 6, column shift automatic, factory radio delete, high trim level interior, 3-spd wipers, cloth/vinyl seats.....when I found the buildsheet, the burlap over the seat springs was in PERFECT condition....no rodents ever....

That's a gem.. And i noticed the chrome around the windows i was curious bout the trim level
That's one reason i overpayed for my car.. sitting since 78 untouched. I find it harder to like a car that has been built/rebuilt and ruined before i ruin it..

With 10k I would pay off the existing loan on my grocery getter, and invest what is left in Silver Bullion...Oh...a car...Not a single one as I no longer have a need for another project car...cr8crshr/Bill
I would stay away from the so-called Malaise-era cars and go further back into the '60s, '50s, or '40s eras.

i LOVE the 40s cars soo much (cause of cold war motors mainly) But the thought of a straight 6 trying it's hardest to get to 50mph makes me sad inside...

A mid 70's mint condition probably under 50k miles C body. Big New Yorker, Imperial coupe, something like that.
With the leftover money, because there would probably be close to 3k leftover, I would put a new top on the 440. Maybe not heads, might have to home job those, but the rest including a cam could easily go on. Plus might even be enough that way to make sure the AC still works.
If I get a green or brown one probably enough leftover to buy new heads and then a giant steak dinner too after lol.
Non-mopar?
80's monte carlo project in good shape but needs an engine. Then I would swap a poncho 455 or olds 455 into it. Or maybe an LQ4 6.0 with the leftover money. Wife really likes those cars.
Or maybe an old Warlock if I could find one reasonable. In the rust belt any of those with a decent body people think they are worth a gold mine. Further south people seem to understand it's still just a truck.

A little over spec'ed budget, but.....
I found an 47 Austin gasser, complete running car with an LS, turbo 400, 9"ford rear, custom dash, for 12,500.
I was thisclose, till I realized I already have way, WAY too many cars and projects now, and common sense prevailed.

This is a very nice survivor car.
Pale Yellow on Green.

Runs, drives & stops excellent.
Some rare options are the Tortoise Grain Vinyl Top, Rim Blow Steering Wheel, Telescopic Steering Column & Cloth Interior.
The body is overall very solid.
Has a few blisters on the trunk floor, but not rusted through, (see pics).
Power Steering, Manual Brakes.
Will need a windshield eventually, has a small crack.
This car is very solid and doesn't need much as it is in daily driver condition now.

This car is a nice Runner/Driver. Blue/blue 440/auto. Everything works but has a little trouble getting into reverse.
