Found this car in a warehouse in east Denver. Needs some love, but all there for the most part.

Now for the just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Cut the back out of a Valiant dash and mounted it over the Rallye dash because he broke the rallye cluster.
 
need to fix the back of it from shoddy work that went badly.

Nice car, but overwhelmed by horror when I first saw the dash. But still loving it as a whole.
 
So what's the plans?
Full restoration?
More of a driver?
Hot rod?
 
In the process of painting my truck after it was hit with hail. Will start getting parts coming, and locate some of the harder to find parts. Has an automatic in it now, so need to find a 4spd and bell housing. Need to find an am/fm radio also. Thinking a resto driver, with a little attitude.
 
I wouldn’t be able to resist building a period correct hot rod out of that, just like someone may have done with an authentic formula S 383 car in 1971 or similar time frame. No matter how much hate mail it may cause.
 
It’s rough, would need to call to get a price. Went back to look at the pic, that is a super B, or an RT.

Yikes, looks like a lot of work, but it will be a cool one if you put the time into it.

And then you'll have a notch to park next to your convertible.
 
I got a set of new door panels for that car i want to sell. We just finished a twin to that car.
