Wonder why he chose that shifter
Pretty sure the factory made that decision for him. '74 seemed to be the "use up whatever's lying around" year. I've seen dozens of original '74s with that shifter, both Barracuda and Challenger. I've never seen one in a B-body, though.
That green 'Cuda is priced about right, if you can get it for the $30K without the trade. It's a low-option polished turd with the wrong interior and front bumper and a tweaked rear valance. To me the engine bay is the bright spot. Ugly, of course, but it's largely untouched. That gives me pause as to why they "had" to do the exterior... and those horrible stripes indicate to me that the refinish job was a minimal-investment, minimal-effort "Earl Scheib over lots of plastic" job. The lack of any trunk or underbody shots only adds to that impression.
