Plenty of info on those threads.  If anyone has any interest pm me for contact information.

There is one 72 cuda a 73 challenger and a 70 challenger.
Unfortunately the E's are not for sale at the moment.  However they might become available.

These cars in my opinion are parts cars.  A few could be rebuilt.  My opinion is very different from those who live in rust areas.

I`m used to rusty, crusty vehicles but doesn`t look like any vehicles worth saving, just parts cars.

I agree.  parts cars.  Maybe an imperial worth saving or put one new yorker together from the several.

See: This makes me feel better about the New Yorkers I gutted and recycled back in the day. At least the stuff got used before turning to dust. I always purged 4 doors from the world too, no 2 doors except for a 69 300.
This stuff is pretty much unusable now.

Nothing wrong with 4 doors.  As much as I like two's, I have become a fan of 4's for many many reasons. 
  Here is one I just picked up .  Gonna drive it for a while before I find someone who loves it more than me.  Didn't work when I got there, removed the bad gas and twisted the coil wire and she just started right up, smooth as can be.  Drove it around already.  Triple pickle even. My first triple pickle.

I don't hate 4 door old cars either, I just prefer 2 doors. Even today I would save a 2 door or convt. c-body. In my mind you can either do the body or the interior on a c-body, if it needs both it just isn't feasible. There are a few Imperials and C-bodies in my area for sale but if the interior is junk especially on an Imperial it denys them a chance at survival.

I do tend to agree with you about one or the other.
But there are a few C's worthy of rebuild.

I almost pulled the trigger on the black plymouth sport fury GT V code.  It had a burnt orange stripe and a burnt orange interior with tx9 exterior.  I love that car.  But it needed, literally, everything. Wrecked and in pieces.  Would bought that one if it were just a few K less. 

Would love to find a few two door imperials for sure.  69 and 72 is my goal. 

I have two 71 newport 4 doors now.  Both run.  Very little rust and great interiors. 
Couldn't find a 2 door with no rust and at a decent price.  Just needed to drive a C body for the first time after going to carlisle several years ago.  They hooked me.   
Plus, I can't find a charger for a decent price. 2nd gen of course.  I have a 71 and a 74.  So 4 doors make sense in the money market now adays.

My '71 Challenger is enough of a resto(mod) challenge for me; not going to be doing any more.  But I would so love to have a '69 - 71 C-body wagon, and at least one 4-door hardtop in the same range.  We grew up with those and I love them.  I actually prefer the 4 doors to the 2 door models except for the rare ones like the GT or the Hurst edition.

If I had some extra $$ I felt like spending on an old car....I'd buy an ol' C body. They are pretty cool for 6 million pound car.

Since some interest has been mentioned on the C body side, I will put in a plug. 

On a side note, I do have a great 4 door that I would part with because I have two.
No rust, 383, one of the best colors for the big cars, B3.

Build sheet, titled, drives, great interior.

4 door cars make nice drivers, I`ve never owned a C-body but would love a `71 up Fury or any `68 up B or C body wagon.
