Nice colour and I like the wheel covers

Very cool, but weird that the engine & tranny aren't numbers matching to the car? For that reason alone I don't think it will stay with the slant 6 in there. If it were all numbers matching then it would stay as it sits, but since its not, I'd put a new 6.4 Hemi in there with the 8 spd & have an awesome daily driver.

Numbers-matching isn't a big deal for me.  The engine and trans could have been pulled and replaced while it was still at the factory, for all we know.  The VIN does decode as being built with the 225 slant-six.

But you're not buying it Bubba, lol... so whoever does will probably pull the drive train & replace it. Could keep it all though in case someone wants to turn it back to stock. My buddy bought a 73 BMW 2002 with a newer M20 engine swap & tranny, but he got all the old stock pieces included with it.

If they are in the south, of course not.

100%. Numbers matching or not, slant six and 3 speeds, directly to the local scrap metal dealer and a modern V8 and 6 spd manual in its place...followed by some proper suspension, brakes and steering. I don't get this fascination with numbers matching unless its some high hp V8, secret squirrel, factory drag package. Some lame ass I6 or small V8 with an even lamer 3 spd auto, beer money from the recycler.

^^ I'm bonkers about that unicorn Charger, I would keep it as-is - you see more and more hot-rods and restomods with straight-sixes. Definitely trending.

And getting more out of the Leaning Tower of Power is a fun challenge!

From the wonderful parallel universe that is BaT:

76 mile - as in brought home and parked - 1980 F250, now at 35k$:

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1980-ford-f-250-4/



No reserve C4, cheap so far at less than 5k$ - that won't last, but there are deals to be made on these things ... missing pedal on this one  :P

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1993-chevrolet-corvette-51/



Fantastic Survivor! '83 European market Celica ST, very low mileage, manual and twin carbs! Greek seller offers it at No Reserve and free container shipping to any port!

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1983-toyota-celica-2/



and for dessert, this stunning L88 4-speed L88 'Vette from 1969, currently sitting at 351k$  :o

That is actually kinda cool.  Probably as good or better build quality than an original (j/k) with better electronics to boot! (not/k)  For $3500-4,000, I'd drive that for shits'n'giggles.  That's baller on a budget cool.  Some plastic gold bling from the Dollar Store...who'd know the difference?  ;D


I know Bubs will want the Bat Man car...I can just feel it's more his thang.
