Luckily I’m not in a hurry or in need of cash so no need for a fire sale. The past few years I’ve been thinking if someone made me the right offer I’d probably let it go. Most the numbers that are being thrown around are about what I expected. Here in central Texas it’s car show/cruise...

Thank you. I appreciate that. I know you’re well respected here. I’ve been around this site long enough to understand the culture and mean no disrespect to anyone. Just think we all love cars and to each is own on what we do with them. Seems silly at times what is acceptable instead of the...

Thanks. I feel the same way. I get the restoration aspect but not everyone is into that. It’s a hot rod. Fast and loud. Car is not worth **** because of black engine bay, but if it was painted, game on. Seems petty. Not to knock. Just seems silly what people focus on. BIG thanks to everyone on...

I did. And he bought two chevys with black engine bays so he’s tight on cash now Seriously. No offense taken.

I get what you’re saying. I don’t think this is for the Mopar purists. It’s a hot rod I built for what I wanted and enjoy. And like I said, it’s a driver to me, looks good but not afraid to use it. Not a nut and bolt restoration.

Also. Hard to tell in the first pictures I posted but the paint is pearl. Some will like and others won’t.

Yeah but I’m out of town until later in the week. I found one of the engine bay but don’t have any trunk. I’ve cleaned it up a bit. Will let you know when I post them.

Trunk would be easy but not feeling pulling a motor to paint it. Engine bay is not as pretty as the interior/exterior but not terrible. (Except for black paint) Had a Chevy guy fall in love with it last year and turned down 30k for it. Maybe I’ll get lucky again with some who just likes the...

Thanks. Your butt for every seat rings true. Most of the deal breakers you noted are what I like about the car. Love the valve body, didn’t want to deal with linkage and nothing like putting the gas to the floor and clicking through the gears. It’s like driving a modern sports car in manual mode.

Thanks!

I agree. A million dollars in receipts doesn’t make it worth that. It’s only worth what the market will pay. I mainly kept them just to back up what I’m saying it has or what I’ve done to the car.

No offense taken. Just saying I understand everyone will have an opinion , can’t please everybody.

That would be the true test but I’m not looking to give it away. Auctions can be finicky and I’d keep it before take a big hit.

Oh I know, didn’t take it that way. Just saying I have the receipts to back it up if some was thinking that. And I agree with your thoughts on build it to suit.

I thought about doing that several times. Got a head of myself when I started out and didn’t know the Mopar world. But settled with my car, I like it and not too worried about what others think. Not everyone is going to like it, like the wheel comment. I have 10 years of records so can...
