Dang, man...that car looks like it'll shine with a good wash and a little elbow grease. Great find!!! And the build sheet...what a plus! Congrats!

Got the 440 fired up today. grin Had to stick a new battery in it, do some work on the carb and replace the ignition module that looked like it melted down the firewall. Sounds strong. Washed out the dirt from the trunk and it is very solid. I really "dislike" when people take a Mopar and paint the engine compartment black and speckle paint the trunk. What were they thinking! tsk

There you go "B 10" "BINGO". wink............ (or actually B-11, please hold your cards laugh2), November 1971 (11-71) assembly finish date so that it is known that it complied with FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) that were in place on that date (month/year) when the car was completed and ready to be shipped.

It has the usual rust on the lower quarters, rear rockers, right lower fender and a few other spots. But structurally it is quite nice. It will need lower quarters and patches here and there.

I've followed these cars pretty closely for many years, is there any literature to back up the claim of a "hard driving" option or group? If so, i learned something new today!
