340 340 340 340 psst we told you its a 318 tho.....

you CUT THE DASH..you can remove about 3k for that..since a new dash frame is going to run you a minimum of about 300plus striping shipping and paint..oh..and you have to re-vin that dash...a new dash cluster skin wont be cheep either..and then to have it re-plated...OUCH then lets look at the huge holes you cut in the doors...for another set of 68 doors(1 year only for each year btw) that wont be cheep..and now you need to repaint the car to match....and find some new interior door panels with wood grain....HAHAH good luck

wrong horn button...i should know....it SHOULD have a fucking FISH in it.....someone lost the original when they had the aftermarket wheel on it

nice "universal" carb youve got there....cheaped out and didnt want to get the right one eh?

whes got some WEIRD ones..cig lighter on dash, in ash tray(standard) and in console(also standard)..typicly the dash one is "delete" with console.....the dash cluster is a strip down bare bones..no trip, not even a vac tach not the 150 speedo....she does have some nice hard to find bits..like the gilled lowwer trim, the high class door guards that ive NEVER seen...if im not mistaken..with that trim package..the wrong window cranks ..nice touch of having the trimmed pedals...and that stripe package is an odd one too for a 318 car......id love to see UNDER it....its even got rear ashtrays for crying out loud.....very odd tho not all the arm rests look to match in color

your seats clearly should have had new foam before you skinned em....further evidence of the foam falling out the seat onto the new carpet behind the drivers seat and the sideways lean...and i have no idea what pattern that back seat is...but i suspect valiant...ive seen that patern in valiants with the front BENCH to match

a fresh resto doesnt have rust marks in the trunk lid....or lots of dings in pretty much all the trim..weather stripping falling off the door..painted over stuff including the speaker wise running into the door.....yeah.....why is there a crusty hose line poking out of the firewall?....i suspect its for the old push pump washer...


she is pretty at first glance tho
25k..your fucking NUTS

What's with the rocker moldings? They look like they only go 3/4 the way back.

they are louvered at the rear section..and it looks like someone might have painted them too

The horn button could be a production-line error. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen that one. At least it's a Plymouth center!

Overall, it's a pretty nice-looking car. I like the exterior color combo and it works with the interior nicely. I'm sure he'll be unhappy with the $8-$10K it will ultimately bring after being listed at triple its worth for a year or two, but it's a fucking 318 automatic car. There's a guy on one of the E-body sites in the process of buying an almost identically-optioned '69 'Cuda 340 notch for $7,500. It's in ratty original shape but it's solid and all there. Personally, in its current condition I wouldn't pay more than six for that '69, but to each his own.
