Would like yal's opinions on this car. 
What is the value? 
Being only a BH barracuda I know it just doesn't hold the BS 71 value. 
Plus it's a low option car. 

Not sure how to post videos.  I have a few but not that great.  Just a car running while blurry.

I see the front bumper is bent, possibly bent into the bottom of the grill.
There is one small dent on the drivers side header panel.
B and M shifter
Incorrect battery
Incorrect chrome stuff in the engine bay.
Incorrect motor.  340 motor. 
Incorrect seat upholstery
Incorrect paint color and billboard.
Incorrect added go wing  (or is that a gull wing)

While the car was covered with a car cover and the interior picture was taken it appears that there is moisture of water or antifreeze on the passengers floor that has come through the kick panel onto the floor mat. Could that be a path for the heater hoses or the heater box if there is an issue?

The car runs and drives.  So a good driver as I am told. 
Stays in a protected garage out of sight. 

Please tear this thing apart.

Bahama yellow is one of my absolute least favorite colors.

71's are hot, I will still say it's a $35K-$40K car

I would say 30-35k depending on how solid it is. Sounds like it needs a rebuilt heater core.
What rearend is in it? 7-1/4  with 2.73 gears

Not sure what the rear is yet. 
Will be going to look at it sometime in the near future.
Unfortunately, there will be no "deal" here.  He is on the money. 
But, not having to transport for a car that is a driver holds a little water weight.

Can you guys point out all the things that are wrong with the car that need attention?   
Not an oe restoration, just to look mostly correct as a driver.

Any more pictures? Rear view, in trunk, etc.

"Correct" for a 318 BH car like the fender tag or correct for a 340 BS look alike?

Cosemetic differences in BS vs BH
BS has a certain moldings standard that most BH wouldn't (unless optioned)
Rocker moldings, 4pc tailpanel with blackout, belt line

BS would be different underneath
Rear end, leafs, torsion bars, F/R sway bars etc.
340 would have 26 inch radiator not 22 inch.

Does the car have disc brakes?
The MC is for discs not drums.

Steering wheel is not 71
Was a column shift car, so either complete the conversion with factory auto console or go back to column shift.

Lack of body color in engine compartment will jump out to many casual mopar fan.

Exactly.  Anything that is wrong and the comparison's.
I have to establish a value and knowing the difference's of what yal see makes a difference on that value.

I don't have any other pictures unfortunately, yet. 

Skdmark, you have already pointed out a few things I did not notice.  Much appreciated! 

Alan, JI wouldn't take the car away from being a driver as it is just a BH car and doesn't need to be a trailer queen ever.   so poly's would be out of the question.
