On the surface looks like it might be a great deal for someone.  :takemymoney:

It looks like the 72 that was my first car back in '83, except this one has a lot less rust.  If it were closer, I'd buy it.  Needs a lot less work than the 73 I'm currently working on.

Does not look too bad; not as rough as mine was.

I am curious, was there more than one wiper motor installed on the '72 model?  This car has a black "can" cover over it that sticks up; the one on my '72 has no cover... it's just flat with a reddish goop on the wires.  Looks unfinished actually.

This car has the standard 2 speed wiper motor, is yours a 3 speed possibly ?

I have a 74 Challenger that the wiper motor is like the one in the picture.   Motor goes straight up..  Its a two speed wiper motor and they are available from any auto parts store for around $50-70.    I believe there was also a "variable speed" wiper on some E bodies possibly as an option.   Those (i have one in my 66 Charger) the motor lies parallel with the firewall.   They are harder to find and cost 10 times as much...$400-$600.

On the two speed the one for a B-Body wont work on an E-Body and vise a versa.  :alan2cents:
