Lots of cool stuff going on there. I like the bumpers, wheels and stripes.

Well...that's the starting bid price.  Probably end up near $20k.

I like how the side markers are shaved.  I kinda prefer the window moulding and bumpers to be left chrome, but whatev.

Nice stance.  If rust/bondo-free, would be a killer driver to beat on.

Lack of good pictures and description is troubling.

Had to take a double take, looks very very close to mine. I had dog dishes on mine not too long ago also.

Anyone know what hood that is? Looks taller and a different shape than a standard t/a hood, been looking for one of those for awhile

Yea that is funky. From the underside pictures and interior, I'd be afraid it looks nice on the outside but hiding some issues underneath

Looks like a Mopar six-pack hood, that never came on any e-body, but was popular back in the day as an aftermarket add on:

The six pack hoods I've seen have are flatter with a bigger scoop, like the one in the picture below. I've been looking for one of these 'bulge' hoods or whatever you call it on this black care for awhile. If anyone knows where I can find one, that'd be amazing

Got the rallye instrument cluster and no rear sway bars. Base 318 car with swapped instrument cluster?

Yes.  JH23G VIN.

No way to tell if it's a base model or a Rallye by the VIN.  All 73 VIN's are JH23.  The base engine in the Rallye was a 318.  You'd have to see a picture of the fender tag to see if it's a Rallye or not.  The Rallye should have come with a rear sway bar...even on a 318 car.  The pictures aren't big enough to see for sure, but it looks like the swaybar end link brackets ARE there.

The VIN is 30k lower than mine and mine was built mid October but had a 927 SPD.  So, I would guess this car was built in late Sept to early October of 72.

I'm not a fan of shaved side markers on these cars...even the less attractive 72-74 style.  Since they have already been removed on this car, I think the 68 side markers would be a cool addition and would be easy to add.

Growing older is mandatory...growing up is optional.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
