The paint fumes have cleared so I'm
Sounds like it - very solid car. Crappy paint (I didn't do it) but it would be a nice cruiser.
The fellow we safetied it for just picked it up - 400 (lean burn), nice big exhaust, two door, 61 k. He paid $5000 for it, which seemed fair enough.
It had a tilt and telescope column that completely baffled Sean.

My son-in-laws grandfather scored a 77 (I think) that was all original with a 440 in it. Had every stinking option possible.
He cruised it for 2 years and sold it. The guy never even inspected the car. He walked up to him at a cruise and said, "Sell me this car , now, please..."
The first time I saw it he nearly ran me over while I was gawking at a 70 Charger. They were both rolling out of the cruise-in.

I am the envy of all 80 year old men who have limited funds. 
The good.... it iin decent shape body wise, interior needs a few bits, but isn't as horrid as it could have been. The motor is a 400, and apparently ran very well, except for the carb issues.
The bad..... needs a carb, someone tried to rig a GM one and never got finished...the roof paint and any paint looking up is burnt. Like Dead. Like "fini". Like can Mikey do a quick and dirty job on her?
It has not arrived yet (he is delivering), but will sit in my 3rd bay until I figure out what is going to happen to it.

if your gonna brag you gotta have pics[smilie=k:
Da-ho

If you are going to run that smogger intake still, unscrew the egr fitting under the baseplate area and weld it shut and reinstall. Thats probably why it doesnt run right. Q-jet will work for now, just remove the GM linkage attaching stud and put a machine screw in place of it for the mopar cable end. Gut the cat and install light springs on the advance weights and it just might run decent again.:hmmm:
