70 Challenger convertible, Go Banana with black top and interior, 225 6 cyl, AC, AM-FM 8 track, Power top, taxi disc brakes (looked it up), now has an Rallye hood, Top motor, harness, and switch panel removed before I got it, comes with working top motor and cylinders, harness and 2 correct switch panels. Top Frame restored. Runs and stops.

Rusty floors. But car appears to have rust proofed by one of the aftermarket places early in life - there's rust proofing in places and in amounts unlike I've seen elsewhere.

Comes with most of the necessary sheet metal from AMD ($4000 in 2017), some of which are now hard to find. More or less a complete car. Came from Virginia. See pictures, more, at higher resolution, available upon request. Original fenders and flat hood come with it. $28,000 OBRO + shipping from 43221

Whoever buys it, leave it a /6!!!  You will get WAY more attention with that 225 than you could ever imagine.  I'm sad I let mine go.  The reactions from people were priceless at shows.  Mine was bone stock all the way down to the skinny tires with dog dishes. 
Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.

I'm in full agreement with @erik70rt ! If I weren't mid project on a 70 already, I'd love to get into another/6, especially a vert. Too many of the /6 cars got butchered.

Another vote for a /6. Only thing that could make it better if it was a 3spd on the floor! :cheers:

Well, the cost of doing the metal work alone would exceed the value of a slant six car, so whoever buys it will have some decisions to make... :haha: :haha:

If vote for /6, value be damned. It would be best if the car ended up in someone's hands that could do the metal & body work themselves to control the costs.
