    Hah... Just read my last and found it not the most clear thing I've ever written.... RME..... What I was TRYING to say there is that I had a helluva time finding one of these cars, much less one that's in nice shape and doesn't require lots of mech work. I suck at that and barely have tools...

    Thanx all.. And YES, it IS an original, now restored, numbers matching 440 Trac Pac.. But, here's my deal, the 'value' to me is in possessing and driving the car, that shape, and I really do prefer the benefits of the modern drivetrain ... Now if I had been able to find another, different...

    Thank you-- I can see there are a few commercial places, Vanguard Motor Sales in MI, Gateway Classic Cars, and one or two auction houses. So I wonder besides trolling here and watching Ebay n stuff, are there any good options? Kinda looks like there are a couple of places hoarding Chargers...
