Yep that was expensive.  But you could turn it back into a 73 cheaper than trying to find 71 parts again!   :dupe:

Poor kid.  :laughing: Should have gradually stepped up into engines rather than taking on a MoPar so young.  :grinyes:

That's about how my '74 looked when I got it..I think that grill can be saved (with a donor piece)

The fender is history but the gills and the dogleg could be spliced onto another fender :thumbs:

I wonder what the reserve is?  It's still a really nice car.

The 16 year old should have started like I did with faded black 170 slant 6 dart with a 3 spd on the column.  It was very humbling car and taught me how to drive conservatively.
