Great rare project that has been sitting for over 26 years here in our dry Arizona desert. I am not a Dodge guy, I deal in 68-72 GM A body cars but bought this due to the 4 speed, codes shows the options I mentioned. Once it got delivered, I remember my 7th grade teacher driving it back in 1984 with those Cragers. Would love to keep it but have a commercial lot I need to fence off. I did a simple cleaning making sure not to mess up anything, plastic rear panels were dry rotted. Battery was sitting inside the rear passenger side floor pan was from Checker back then, it did cause rot in that area. The only other place was the drivers floor a little, all the plugs are intact so that probably didn't help along with the drivers window that didn't go all the way up. Rockers and side panels, jambs, trunk pan and window channel are are in very nice shape. Left quarter glass was replaced with plastic. I did not try to start the car up, it has a few vacuum lines that rotted and did not have a chance to drop the gas tank to clean it. Rolls, steers and stops with nice brakes, left tire holds air for a short time only. Will take off 200.00 if you don't want the wheels (bring your own), not in great shape but my younger son wants them. A great car to restore or drop in a newer Hemi with a 6 speed.
