I went to buy a 74 Charger this past fall, original 318 car.
Replaced decades ago with a 440/Holley/aluminum intake & valve covers, etc.
Had the bulge hood added as well, slot mags, dual exhaust, jacked up, 70s style.
Solid as heck, power windows too, $5k.
Sitting for 30+ years, guy was a dealer way back, drove it, hit a deer, dented the front fender, parked it in his garage, never moved again.
The fender tag had it as a 74, but as we were clearing it off of parts, junk, and dust my friend checked the ppwk against the vin and noticed a problem, the ppwk had it as a 73. Once we cleaned the windshield we saw the vin wasn't exactly attached to the rivits.
Guy had no idea, never registered it, known him a long time, honest guy, he was not happy either.
I had to pass, but it wasn't easy.
I still think it might be worth it.
A solid big block Charger with extra goodies for 5k, heck the dented fender wasn't even that bad.
Never took a pic because I was supposed to be putting it on a trailer that day.
