So as crazy as it sounds at some point somebody replaced the white bucket seat interior with a tan bench interior including door cards and unfortunately the bench, which I could’ve used for my Road Runner is long gone however two nice bucket seat frames including tracks Are included.
More parts that go with it including the correct radiator.

This should do it for parts. You’ll notice two pieces of rear frame rail in one of the pictures. As near as I can tell this car was hit in the back I’m thinking probably pretty early on and the original repair work to the frame rails above the axle don’t look great. Unfortunately the previous owner was saving that repair for last? One of the reasons why i’m not asking a fortune for this car. You also notice the two-piece trunk floor and some welds that aren’t very pretty here and there. My plan was to take the car apart and do the work on the car that it deserves. In addition to the somewhat sub par craftsmanship there are a couple of panel fitment issues that will need to be addressed as well. I seriously believe that the issues that need to be resolved to make this car right shouldn’t keep it from being restored. It would be ideal for somebody that does their own work and has some mad skills. I sincerely believe that if everything was done perfectly up to this point and I was offering up this car For sale I would think it’d be worth 20K or more with everything else being the same. I have discussed what the potential worst case scenario would cost if you were to hire it done with a couple of professionals in the industry and I have the reserve set Accordingly I believe.
I will post a couple of pics of the repair done to the rear rails.
I can’t help be anything but completely transparent about this car, that’s just the way I roll.
So if you have any questions you now have several ways of reaching me.

Oh yeah I almost forgot about the air cleaner.(the carb isn’t right I just set it on there so I had a place for the air cleaner) I will throw in that carb though, it’s for a ‘69 440 with automatic.

Here is the previously repaired rear frame damage. It’s below the lap joint of the rear underseat floorpan and the trunk pan just forward of the rear shock crossmember.

Some paperwork that was with the car. Pics are from 2001, the receipts for the engine work and the balance sheet are from 2006(I bought it in 2010).
An old registration from Millersport, Ohio issued in May of ‘70 and a title from the early ‘80s where it was owned in Hebron, Ohio on Refugee Rd which is basically, for those familiar with the Mopar Nationals, adjacent to National Trail Raceway. I did stop by that house last year, left a note and later talked to that homeowner who bought the house from the guy that owned this car and still knows him.

$13,500 obo.
