That car was sold through RM several years ago (10, 12?  can't recall).  I'll have to see if I can trace back and find out the selling price from then and compare it to now.

Boy - their pics and verbage sure make a car look and sound a lot better than it really is.
That car belonged to two friends of mine up here. The car did have mostly original paint but mechanically it was a mess...so was all the taped up, soldered up wiring. And the car had a million holes drilled in it to save 1.7 pounds of weight - including the core support numbers. The thing ran like a turd as well. It is a 65k car all day long.

Stan owned it (God bless him) then Roger. I think Roger put it through the auction Ghoste.

So long ago I can't remember, but I know I have a pic of it sitting at the old shop and it has been at least ten years since the move to the new digs.

Looks almost exactly like Brandon's Hemi '69. :yesnod: His car is pretty much a twin to that one....

Wow, that's amazing.  Drilled holes?  It looks close to mint in the pictures.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

K-Frame, rad support etc. etc. - Hole saw city. There was also some exterior paint work done when the car was here years ago.

Still a decent car with Mr. Norm's paperwork.

Also - Total B.S. on Norm wanting to buy or trade it...

I think there is some photo magic going on.  They still mention the holes in their writeup so I'm sure they are still there.

Take a look at the pictures in the ad.It's a automatic,but they say it's a 4 speed in the mopar collector guide.That's just weird. :shruggy:

The pictures are taken from positions that conveniently "hide" the holes in the rad support. There are a couple of shots of the engine compartment where you can see sunshine shining through the holes and one from the high on the rear passenger side where the holes look like red dots (assuming this is the paint on the lower lip of the support). Any others are hidden well.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.
