Cirlce track cars got banged up all the time. If the cage and frame are good, tack on some new metal and go throw some dirt.  :thumbsup:

Or just race it as is, I would.  :bigsmile:

It's hard to tell what it is exactly...... ??? Sure, it has a Challenger style hood (doesn't look original) but those rear quarters look long, almost B-Body. The front fenders look narrow.....anyone wanna take a stab? You'd think the guys who own the site would know and they definitely say it's a Challenger. Steering wheel confirms it's a latter year, though this could have been added in later.

Poor car by-the-way.  :-\

Im saying 'cuda because of the top of rge crease at the top of the quarter panel, just below where it meets the c-pillar, and at the front of the fenders where they come up to the grille and headlights and sorta curve/tuck in.
Also, it wouldnt take much to remove the header panel to put a challenger ralley hood on a 'cuda.

Yeah, still doesn't look like either. The panels don't have the Challenger accent line, from what I can see.

What ever it is, it's a mess, I still say it's a Challenger, perhaps they know from the fender tag.
Looking at it a little more guess it could be a Cuda, the rear end square 1/4 panel etc.

Yeah, the rear quarters do look a little long like a B-body but when you see the side shot of in the trunk it looks short.  Looks like there are no rear extensions like a B-body.  Also it looks like it has the mount for a Slap Stik shifter and it has a E-body steering column, has a crush can.

Looks like it was possibly a 340/360 car, unless some 318s came with a factory 4 barrel intake.  If thats the original engine, it may be a '72-'74 car.

Looking at the way the rear quarter goes into the back edge of the door I might have to side with Barracuda.  (See the last pic.)
