Wait a minute...this car is plum crazy to boot? 

Dude get your trailer hooked up and go!

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Looks like a 440 to me by the way that passenger side valve cover looks in relation to the distributor.

Here is a shot of the engine 383 4 barrel....You can see the original color.  The guy was going to restore this with his son but never happened...I restored a 69 charger and know the in and outs of this body style and I tell you this is in pretty darn good condition!!  The plymouth was sold as I had found it...didn't have the time to start a new project with a new baby and just bought a new home but I still have my 69 that I will not ever sell...my daughter who is 4 now loves that car....she goes to every car show with me....This is her winning best of show...I'm so proud of her...but anyway.  I'm ready for a new project and this looks like a good one to start.  Haven't been in the charger restoration seen in awhile so didn't know what they were bringing or what this might be worth. Oh and from the research I have done this would have been a vinyl top car because of the sunroof you can see it has the trim for a vinyl top??

looks like FK5  :scratchchin:

Hmmm, Burnt Orange interior with a Plum Crazy exterior? Unlikely. ;) Check out the color on the bottom of the hood where the flash is reflecting. I'd say it's FK5 (burnt orange) on the outside as well.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

Ok, I must be color deaf.....

I saw purple and assumed.  Been doing a lot of that lately...assuming that is, not seeing purple.

So you couldn't get a burnt orange interior with a plum crazy exterior?  It may look a bit funky but I've seen worse!

Very cool car indeed! :drool5:, So did you get it yet?

Old Moparz

That's a cool find, except for the fact that some of the previous owners were completely lost or color blind when it came to choosing repaint colors to go with the interior.  :lol:

Good luck with getting it.   :cheers:

I wouldn't even think about offering less than 10K. If the person has any idea what they have low balling is the best way to be told to hit the bricks. So if it where me I would shoot 10K out for an offer. That is high enough where I don't think they would get pissed & a reasonable amount if they accepted. Others will disagree.


:iagree: :iagree: :iagree:


Thats a rare and desireable car.

What is the original color?

I'd confirm the options are original to the car...

Confirm there is little rust under that yellow paint job...

Start at $10,000 and be prepared to go higher...

Take cash, and a trailer.

And maybe a pair of rubber gloves... a reach around might be in order here.  :lol:

All kidding aside you should check him out and see what he feels the car is worth before making an offer.

Yes according to the Chrysler SG-30 Sales Reports only 54 big block 70 Charger 500s came with a power sunroof. Looks like they left the vinyl top off after the repaint.

Really depends on condition of car but $10k would be a deal.

I can't believe cars like this are still out there to be found and bought! You would think by now that all the good ones have been rescued. I have my 69 Charger and love it, but still dream of the day when I pull up to a farm and find that rare Mopar hiding in the barn with an inch of dust lying on it. Great find, hope you get it. Post pics when you pick it up and clean it. Good Luck!
