Well this is my dad's car he bought for about $4000 3-4 years ago. He's been steadily getting closer to completion and right now his next step is to find a nice custom purple to paint it so he can get his engine in after painting the bay. It is originally a 318 2 bbl 904 tranny. It was a complete rust hole when we got it due to stupidity of the previous owner of putting it outside on grass with a blue tarp over it.
It did have an odd feature and that is the dark argent/blackish grille. We researched it and found out it was a leftover AAR grille that the factory just threw on since the car was the last on that line of vehicles. We have the original build sheet which was under the back seat. It is undergoing a complete rebuild from bottom up. A lot of fabrication and money has been put into it so far.

MoparMania-no cure for it
Looks like it's comin together, bit by bit..
It will all be worth it when you're drivin and enjoyin it!
You puttin it back in Plum Crazy, right?
That's a great color for those (for damn near anything, really lol).
I cast my vote for the Rallyes..
I like Magnums, but Fords, Chevies and others ran Magnum 500's..
However, nothing says "Mopar" like Mopar Rallye Wheels
