Head liner has a small rip on the c pillar, could use a carpet set. Door panels are nice.
Very nice factory rallye dash . hard to find rallye dash pieces are all there(wiring hooked up, A/c control assembly,light bar etc)
Very nice 3 speaker dash with multiplex stereo
BODY:
I'm going to try to describe the body to the best of my ability. The body could use a set of quater skins as they are bubbling up on the lower. You might be able to get away with just the lower patch panels. The trunk has two 2x2 spots which need a small patch . No need to replace the whole pan for this. The hood hinge area needs to have the replacement patches yearone sells for them installed. The driver floor has a 6x6 soft spot. Front windshield is cracked! Thats the bad. The COWL IS ROCK SOLID,as are the frame rails, doors,trunk lid, floor pans except for the area mentioned, frame rails, Nice RT hood, fenders with rallye louvers etc. This is a project car, you do need to do some minor metal work to the areas i have mentioned .Far from a rot bucket . You can drive this car and work on it as you go. I have seen a ton of people take on huge project rust buckets and then get discouraged,loose motovation and give up on it. You can do the hood hinge areas one weekend , the trunk patches another etc on your own time while still driving it. It's a complete car that you dont have to go hunting down all those hard to find mopar e body parts.
New inline tube fuel tank with 3/8 sending unit. Fuel gauge does work. Flip top Chrysler org. fuel door,dual sport racing mirrors, fender mounted turn signals,etc
Rear valance is bent up
Final evaluation:
Yes the car needs some work. I have the missing front window trim, the alternator, and also the a/c compressor that go with the car.
The trans could use a fluid change but it does go into gear and move the car around with no problems. Some minor things under the hood like installing a bracket for the coil, routing the wires ,etc a little better, but never the less a fun project to do. A rare car ,loaded with options, a fender tag , and clear NJ title. This is an EXCELLENT START,which will be worth a lot of money when restored. An excellent father/son project,Hopefully someone will do it right and drive it like these cars were meant to be driven,not sititng in a garage collecting dust!
