Last night I went to look at a Charger for parts for my Roadrunner build. I remembered this car many years back, 80's. It was sitting directly across from the garage I just found it in.
A friend told me about it about a month ago . he saw the console mounted tape deck in another parts car I have. He mentioned he just saw the same deck in a Charger. I wasn't interested at the time.
Since the Roadrunner needed a Motor I went there to see what was there. I remembered the car being a sixpack. Only because someone stole the hood center and you could see it back then.
Here is what I found. A U-code 71 R/T non numbered maching 440 car sitting since the 80's.
Now you have to picture this. I look at the car and buy it for 7K the original motor with a cast iron six pack intake is on an engine stand next to the car . He took it out to save it. The car doesn't look touched for years.
He reaches in and it starts up.
I don't like these cars and never did. it is 440 Auto 8 3/4 suregrip floor mount cassett on console with buckets , Power disc brakes and steering. I can find another motor if someone wants to save this.
This picture is the only time I saw it during the day myself. I just got up and didn't go out and look at it yet. I snapped this pic from the front door. The car and my truck are filled with parts
Any interests come and get it . The longer its here The more goes missing. I will barter for parts for my RR. I bought it for a parts car. My question is, Is this car worth saving ? Or is it worth more in parts??

Its a solid car. from what I saw at night. I wouldn't have paid 7k for junk.
