I figured it would not be an original shaker car  looks good the way it is but not original , Tan interior car too

Will be interesting.

This has been for sale for quite some time, and the asking price was well under $200k. Could never understand why it didn't sell.

It says numbers matching drivetrain, but I wonder if that includes the engine (a lot of people consider the drivetrain to be from the gear-box back).

Well with Mecum we will be allowed to watch the Mopars cross the block. This auction I'll set and watch. I didn't wast more the 20 minutes on BJ last week. They are a joke. If I want to see that many Gm's and Fords I'll go to the mall!

My guess on sale price would be $118,000. based on interior change, and possibly not the original engine.

Watching the auction right now. It's great being able to see the Mopars on the block. Although so far I think the prices are really soft!

Apparently sold for $125k.

I was there when it sold.    I actually talked (very briefly) with the owner -- Wayne   - the guy who is on TV in a program called "Chasing Classic Cars"    I asked him what he thought and he said it was a nice car -- then he volunteered it was his!   I asked what he thought it should bring - and he just shrugged his shoulders and said "we'll find out shortly" --     It was very nice - great paint.   As noted, I'm not sure what "drivetrain" includes and the hood was definitely not original.    If it comes up on TV again - I'm the guy with the "Key West" shirt and black Dodge hat....       Was fun to be in the lights.   

I've spent the last 2 days there -- over 2000 cars and I'm surprised by how many are selling - I bet the final tally is close to 75%.   Watching Dana Mecum cut deals with sellers is sometimes very entertaining -- he's a pro and I sure wouldn't want to take him on under the pressure of having my car near the reserve... he's very cagey -- and a great deal-maker -- obviously!     Overall, I was impressed with the cars - most were very nice  -- not a lot of junk.   I'm no expert - but the prices for some very nice MOPARS also surprised me.    A TA didn't even fetch $40,000, and it was a nice car (not a color combination I would want .... but it looked pretty solid.   All in all - quite a couple of days.....

With all of the reading I do on this site, learning options, and learning about factory correct restorations, I can't help but to look for errors on these high end cars.  I noticed a tail panel on this particular car was painted black.

I'm almost certain it needs to be body color, is this wrong? Still a very nice car.
