I agree with the dicision to sell it , the car was painted & was still looking decent & hiding a lot of rust but when you know where to look the car was going to be a very expensive resto , he can do much better buying a more solid car for less than the resto would cost

Lol - that's what Neil said.  He wants me to take a crack at selling his 71 Charger!

I guess those few months as a car salesman paid off, eh?  :)

Seems like a no-brainer to me.

(3 years + $25k)  vs  (10 years + $50k) 
No work  vs   lots of  work
Anticipation  vs  dread
No chasing parts, looking for lowest cost services, etc
Dont have to drag it cross country.
Dont have to worry about having a garage right away.
Not taking up every minute of your spare time either working on it, or staring forlornly at it.

Congrats on selling it that fast.

Don't forget. The 71-72 Charger and Roadrunner front frame rails are the same. It's easier to find a 3rd gen b-body for donor parts than any e-body. I have a solid 71 and 72 Charger that I keep for future donor use.
