Yup: Found a done one for you! https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/strathcona-county/1970-charger-rt-440-match-number-4-speed/1725402294

I don't think the tracking is a good thing. I live just above Wa. state. When I order from Wa. or Ore. I watch the tracking and it's pretty strange. The packages go across country to the east coast and then work their way back with stalls of up to a week along the way. I worked in the...

That one looks like it's something to work with for the price.

Pros: It's a 69 GTX. Cons: Too many to mention. The wheels make me laugh, I mean really for $15k you're keeping them? Not that it would make the deal, but I guess the seller figures that's the only thing worth keeping from this pile.

Exactly what I would do. I liked the car before because it looked stock and unfrigged with but you were at the limit I think before you could keep that look and go faster. Now the car has been through this, it's not an issue anymore. Why pay for steel parts that wouldn't be original to the car...

That's a nice car. Did it come up to the Okanagan?

F8 looks just fine on that 70 Runner, nobody else wants it so I'll take it.

It looks like he filled the valvecover rail to help oil drainback a bit?

You aren't really all that far apart from the seller. A difference of $12k, which seems a lot on something valued at $26k (halfway between). Once the car is restored and it's worth by that time $120k, That $12k difference isn't such a big deal at all. I said I wasn't going to offer an opinion...

I'm voting it's a later, non numbers matching engine due to the TQ and wrong valve covers, although I'm not so sure that is all that much of a downer for the 68-70 Charger crowd. Rad is wrong too. It's going to be expensive if you want to do it right. The $100k for a resto thrown out by Wild R/T...

It's a nice feeling and you control the quality. I remember my first big deal. The cab mounts were beyond gone on my 71 D100, I took a ballpein hammer and a couple cut out pieces of hood out to my kids sandbox and had at it. I had them made in maybe half an hour (very easy piiece to make of...

Thing is: If they're inside and protected from deteriorating further I can absolutely respect and agree with that. I think the thing is if you have at least one driving and even decent looking car everything else is livable as well. What I have not been able to understand over the decades is...

When these cars were new and I was dreaming about owning them when in high school, never once did I think "boy I'd sure like to have a yardful of beaten down project cars". I've owned up to 5 or 6 cars at a time with some of them being projects and I found that it just kept me broke financially...

Hemi too. Those just couldn't look right with the factory wheels no how, no way. Nice 76 Adventurer SE behind it as well.

Is it the aluminum 70-74 440 bellhousing? If so an 8 bolt 70-71 Hemi flywheel will work with a standard starter. The iron earlier 440 bellhousing is a different setup from 70 and later.
