Guesses?

The problem is it won’t fit in my budget!!!
 
the lunch pail rear end? 2.76 sure grip
the wonky looking rims?
no spot welds on the trunk floor?
the over restored painted underside?
 
what is a long-legged 2.76 Sure Grip? I did notice the Dodge square chrome exhaust tips
 
The plugs are not drilled out in the trunk including the sending unit wire and the trim rings

Flypaper hit it on the nose, at least with what first struck me when I read the description, the 2.76 sure grip. In a Superbird? WTF???:wtf:

As for the rest of the flaws, who would restore a SB, ask a fortune, and make such glaring mistakes? And worse yet, what idiot would buy it?
 
Tried to email the seller to see if there's a fender tag or what the Vin is. Got kicked back. SCAM??????
 
And that folks is how you take a rare car and ruin it with a poor restoration.....
 
weres my spare tire and jack?
