I'm sure there's more, but that's a start.

Hey Mark you missed antenna base and painted fuel filler tube.

Leon, Thank you for pointing out the floor pan. I did not notice that before. Great point.  Thanks to you too R/C.
See, if people are going to throw out a bad opinion, it HELPS the hobby when the faults are exposed. We can help others learn what to look for when buying one. It helps us enthusiasts see what mistakes to avoid with our own cars. I did see the crooked front bumper and that the grille was not perfect. Wheelwell moldings are sometimes left off for various reasons. Factory looking quarters? Like how? What needs to be done to appear like OEM? Again, I ask because it isn't clear to me and the info may help myself and others.

I noticed the floor pans gap, as well as the floor patches being visible in one picture. Also noticed the quarter panel attachment inside the door jamb smoothed out completely.
I wouldn't call it a POS however.


But to be honest, I noticed her a lot more......

I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers.   The doorjambs of the car have the texture of an orange, or maybe a beach.   :eek2:
Mopar forever!

I don't recall the angle of the rear shocks on my 70 looking quite the same. These look like the top mounts are closer together making the shocks less effective.

Replacement quarters have about half as much more metal on the loper edge behind the wheelwells and throughout the whole perimeter of the wheelwell. if you put wheelwell moldings on that car, the metal would hang out beyond the molding by about 3/8" which looks stupid.

It's a totally amateur "restoration" done by a complete hack, and it would cost more to straighten that car out than it's worth....which is far below his 45 large asking price.

Threads like this are the male equivalent of women gossiping about another female behind their back.

And a reminder why Mopar only shows are no fun.

And it shows that even though you drive a " pile of shit", you can still have a hot chick. :punkrocka:

I was going to comment on the Cotter pins and then never EVER post any more pictures of my car. :'(
Not really- It's a driver with MANY imperfections.  :icon_smile_blackeye: :lol:

alfaitalia

Agreed.....and why mine will have no photos on here until complete and even then only taken from about 500 yards away!

You guys are much too harsh for that! Lol

And someone hit the Buy It Now at $45000.00. . . . WTF.  The last six months watching these prices I feel like I am in some alternative universe where up is down and black is white and Miley Cyrus actually is a talented singer.. Just 10 months ago I dont think this POS would have brought half of this.


All I know, for $45000.00 I sure hope the long, cool, woman in a black dress is included in the price of the car.  :2thumbs:
