so, aside from being a malaise era YACHT, what should I know? No pics in the ad, sadly. Says it runs. Keep in mind, I know literally nothing about old American cars and their history. My MTOD subscription has taught me a lot though!
Rust, and lots of it.
Worthless if it doesn't have the corinthian leather seats.
It's a B body. That's pretty much all it has going for it really.
There are not many left. I think they could be had with a 400 and shamefully I can remember if those are B or RB blocks. It doesn't matter, they can be built into monsters. I prefer the '75 up (post fuselage) Chargers.
I like them and think it's a good idea. You could do many different things. Pro touring, old nascar look, street sleeper or drag car. Lot's of potential if you've got the time and desire.
It's a rwd platform with a V8 sized engine compartment, and this is GRM. Where's the build thread?
I like all of those ideas! But my idea was a comfy lounger that drinks fuel faster than I make money. It would be bought for the gambler 500. In other words- thrashed.
Malaise-era American junk is my specialty. Seriously.
I'm a muscle car guy and do a lot of custom work. 70s American RWD stuff is a gold mine of fun. Parts-bin upgrades, V8s that are neutered versions of old muscle car stuff so they respond will to simple things, and OH THAT STYLING.
I call them the superman lunchbox. They are so uncool that they're cool. If you're the cool kid in school, carrying a kitchy superman lunchbox is the coolest thing. If you're the nerd, you get teased for it. So the superman lunchbox is anything that is so uncool that its cool. Grey Baskerville would call it "Reet"
Some of my Malaise-era junk:
Extra bonus is that they're CHEAP
