Went up North this morning (3am) arriving at this guys house at 12:00 noon after breakfast etc had a look. First impressions were good, a few dings and crazy cracks starting to show but nothing major. The paint was a modest 7/10.
Interior was 7/10 was all there but was a little under the weather.
The major problems were the engine noises when we were driving, this thing was S-L-O-W!!!!! :ack: :yawn:
VERY sick.
The diff (Ford 9") was starting to give which is not a good sign when a sick 440 can destroy a 9" Ford.
Must mean there's been some big revving stuff going on, wreck the engine and diff at the same time, who knows. :dontknow:
Any how for the kind of money I was looking at spending this was not worth it. It was always at the top of the price list for a clone, maybe a 6/10 #'s car would be worth it but a sick 440 clone thats been thrashed?
The seller was pretty darn honest though telling me about how the diff was "sh!t" as if it was his (he was selling on behalf of an overseas friend) yes, it was all legit.
he also said a lot of the guys friends have been using as of late and the car is losing it's quality etc....
Not been taken care of.
It was a simple decision to make and straight from the beginning I have told you all, that I wouldn't hold my breath and that I'd go up there with the worst thing in my mind and I'm glad I made the right decision, hard decision for a 23 year old MoPar nut to say no to "what looks like" a nice black 1969 Dodge Charger. :beer:
One things for sure........I can't wait for "Lucy" Challenger R/T
