WIW Opinions on a 69 Dart GTS.

My 70 Charger ( behind Cuda in avatar) was ordered as an SE with 383 Mag , HD 727 ,HD suspension , 3.23s , Trailer group , 6 way seats , Tictoctach ,A/C etc.... $5000 including tax and he had 68 Dart GT trade in.

Could have had a R/T Hemi for that much.
I knew the original owner but never asked why he ordered it as such.... MPG is my assumption.
