Ok, for $250 I guess we can't expect much. I didn't know they made them in 4-door models.  :clueless: In any case, what are you thinking here? Fix it up, or part it out? I'm guessing it would take $$$ to fix up, but there should be plenty of stuff on there to get more than your $250 back if you part it out.

It may be worth $250 but I wouldn't sell a 383 to get it.  :2cents: Here's a couple of pics of one.

If you've got a 340 for to replace the 318 already, why not wait for a "better Car"  to put that motor in?

I'd suggest wait until you find a 71-72 Satellite, Road Runner or GTX  2 dr.  Compared to Cuda's and Challenger's their cheap.  I got lucky with this Satellite for $500 but I feel it is only worth $1200 max.  I'll make it into a R.R clone.
