DANG!!!!!!!! That sure is a lot of work.

Thats what I'll never get in this hobby, "A real 71 Cuda" His VIN tag" who cares, the engine to the VIN is long gone so the VIN may as well be lost, without that original engine the VIN means jack, well to me anyway. It's like saying this ball poiun t pen was made by BIC and has all paper work, but there is no ink. etc You get what I mean, eh?  :P :(

Ah, the bodyman said that it would buff out...

How could someone let that car get so bad? He should trade with the "no rust, no paint" guy.

I've bought a car off of this guy in the past...he's a good guy who happened to have the space and $$ to buy lots of mopars years ago. If he found something that was a performance Mopar, he'd buy it to save it from the crusher and store it away. I'd say when the last i talked with him he had at least 50-70 cars. And i wont even get into the parts (NOS and used) he had. I bought a nice clean 71 Barracuda coupe off of him several years ago. This car was probably in a junk yard and he saved it from the crusher.
