Donor car for what?

We are looking to do what you asked in your post "[h=2]Re-body an LX car with a B body?"[/h]I was able to get that 300 minus the doors, roof, engine and transmission/transfer case for 600 bucks. I found it on craigslist and just wanted the interior out of it. But when the guy said I could have the whole thing for 600 bucks I jumped on it. It has the all the harnesses, the engine controller, etc. When the car showed up we learned it is an AWD 300C Hemi.

We're looking to put the body of our 70 Coronet (nothing special 440 Trim, 318, Auto, A/C) over the 300C. We originally were just looking to put a Gen 3 Hemi in it. Now that we have a full chassis we're looking to do the body swap.

Monday or Tuesday we've got a 6.1 being delivered. great ebay find by my wife (Happytoes24) complete engine minus wiring harness and engine controller for $2500. It's out of a 2006 SRT-8 300c.

For the 300c that we just got. I was looking at it for the front seats, engine controller and wring harness for the Gen 3 Hemi swap. Front buckets are expensive so why not get some newer ones. then we got the bonus of the rest of the car.

It's all still being planned out. But we're finding deals on parts that I can't pass up.

thanks
