It didn't even have a k member in it to put tires on loading that was fun as well, but also worth saving originally a 400big block car with a floor shifter red car with white vinal top and white interior. Slowly picking at it got a disc brake k member set up for it and a column so at least it's a roller now keep saving the good ones bro!!!

    In my dream world of winning the lottery and finding three Chargers, I’d have one of each of the following: 1. an original Hemi 4 speed in dark blue, black interior, red line tires, dog dish hubcaps. 2. Convert a low end 318 automatic out of the junk yard or barn find into a proper detailed General Lee replica with 440 and 4 speed. 3. Convert another low end 318 automatic that was in bad shape into a restomod that would probably be my everyday driver. Modern Hellcat Hemi, 6 speed Tremec, coil overs/4 wheel independent suspension, Willwoods on all 4, and modern conveniences including climate control, power windows and locks, cruise control, and leather.

    Your somewhere between one fourth to one third my age ( I wouldn't wish my age 71 friday, on anyone) and you ciphered that car better than I could doing it for years. Your going to be a force to reckon with when you are my ungodly age. I've tagged those front ends before and in one piece the transplant is much easier to get in alignment or make square again. I did a fairly new one from factory who had an employee who took a long lunch break. I remember that one well cause it ate my lunch till I checked the square on it then it was mine. It was out from factory with wheel squeal an all a full quarter inch by even the Britt's tape measure!! Wiped tires till I cut/drilled with spot weld drill bit just for that which makes the job. I know a lot of people who would love to trade places on their own remand on that car... floors could be waxed when clean again. Speaks high for where ever it was stored. Drop us a line on this one every chance you have. Cold war motors up in canada would love this car.
