Sometimes it's surprising which ones manage to avoid the crusher

Interesting combo. I find this statement odd

This is a great project car really hate to sell but I have came across money problems if not sold in time car will begin to be restored if not sold in a month or two.

there are definitely not many of those left ..... or many to begin with

Need to sell due to money problems but if not sold will restore, or trade for another project.

I can see why he may have money problems... 

Not a bad price though.  I wonder if the next owner will keep it stock.

Who would want a 6cyl 3 speed charger though?

Someone who wants something original and not too common.  It's not me, but they're out there.

Roof, quarters, doors, trunk, hood, glass, suspension more than likely all good. Great parts for another Chargers restoration since 73/74 parts are not repopped for the most part. Very few 73/74 Chargers really bring any money. Big block 4 speed cars and Rallye cars still get close to $20 to $30,000. But the cost of restoring a car, any car really is well over the value of the car when completed. You cant justify spending much on a 73/74 restoration.

It is cheap parts for a do it yourself restoration of a more desirable 73/74. To overhaul this car how much would it cost? And how much would it be worth when done? This guy has a pretty nice restoration project nobody wants because you can buy nice 73/74 cars for the cost of a restoration alone.      Just my opinion, and I am a 3rd gen guy who would love to see that car back in top shape.

There were 2 slant 6 cars at Carlisle this year that I would have loved to take home and restore as they were.. a 71 Cuda convertible and a 70 Challenger. The challenger was one that I was really lusting after since it would have been perfect for my son.    I have pics of it somewhere...

Here it is

That's a very nice car!   

Makes me wonder what you would be challenging with that straight 6 though.   

I do like the oddball all original cars and used to love restoring them.  But I found out I'm happiest with something that's customized to my tastes which is why I never wanted an R/T or something that's even remotely rare.  I'll leave those for others.

Here it is   

I agree.... 

I could have bought a rusty but running 1970 Barracuda /6, 3 on the tree for $2500 back in 1999.  I passed only because I did not have a place to put it at the time.  One of my organic chemistry students ended up with it.  He was going to restore it back to stock last I knew.  I wonder if it ever got done....

I would someday like to get a bright red 1970 Challenger /6, 3 on the tree to match my /6 Charger....

I turned down a free '73 slant six, three speed Charger back in '80 because I had no place to put it.

 If I had the space, I would love a slant 6 charger. Sure, Its no rocket, but nicely restored it will attract more attention than any "tribute" car.

I had a /6 904 1974 Charger that served as my daily for a couple of years about 1989-1990. It set me back a whopping $150. It definitely could have used 2 more cylinders. The  /6 73-74 Charger is  pretty rare car, more so in 74. As rare as they are, I wold not want another one.

[ITSA426]

I think it would be a fun car to restore.  I've been to several shows with loads of hemi cars but three on the tree cars are still a rarity.  Generally, when I take my three speed Charger to a Charger meet it's the only one there.

[RallyeMike]

Just noticed this..... Radio delete. Probably somewhat common on a stripped down car like this, but probably the most rare thing about the car overall. It would be interesting to see this car restored next to a fully loaded SE.
