I have been after this car since 1996. Then one day the owner walks into the shop and says he is ready.

This is the third car I have bought that has a 1980 inspection sticker. Did these cars only last 8 or 9 years?

Car has 47,000 miles on it but it looks like the left side was side swiped. It has a replacement fender and some filler in the quarter.

I must be getting soft the last two cars have had A/C. I have walked by a hundred cars because they had ice.

I am just a sucker for a black car.

Shame about the drivers seat. The cluster is nice and the pad isn't even cracked. Has a 6 way seat, Tach and while it is coded for a AM radio it has a AM/FM in it.

No rust in the trunk floor but the old trunk mat is stuck to it. This car has been inside for a long long time.

Wow, that's nice. Not crazy about A/C but a black 71 B-body is a good place to have it.

Car was delivered with G70 14s on black 14x6 steel wheels. They will be going back on when I can find the correct wheels. They are the only big thing that is missing. Otherwise this car still has the factory exhaust on it. It will need the lower 1/4s replaced but that is about all the rust it has. For now I'm just gonna sit it next to the other ones. I've always wanted to have a black Charger and while I'd rather it be a 4 speed I think this one will grow on me.

GREAT FIND!! I'd upgrade to the available G60-15s and steelies - that car is too big for 14s - you'll be glad you did if you plan on driving it any...

Sheldon, I agree.It is the kind of car that needs air. Should be a good car to take to the cruise in the summer heat.

Dave G, I feel like all I have is "barn find" junk. I like having a car that tells its own story though.

Dave W, Yep you got it. Took me a while but I got it.

Mr.Macho, Thanks Man

Desmond, I kinda like the elephant on stilts look. I probably have 10 of these cars now. The 14s weight about 40lbs lighter and I am a big fan of black steel wheels.

Mopars 1, How bad? Lol

Mike, I can think of a few things that would make it better.
