I kind of have a simple thought process for people when these types of things hit. I bet any one of our American troops fighting for our right to sit on a computer and complain about how bad it is to own a muscle car in America,would be more than happy to trade places with you Ray and take that pile of junk from you. Yes I am being sarcastic, but I think we often need to be a little more realistic about what we have and also recognize how many people go their whole lifetime and never even get to enjoy working on, racing, or owning a classic Mopar and how many of them dream that someday they could own one, but realizing they never will have that opportunity. Please be clear I am not dogging you, simply trying to make a point it aint so bad afterall. Oh yea, what time does the auction start?...

whats the 2 g's for?
ya know Blackfsh, i use to always say 2 g's but down here in the south they always say 2 k. i like g better
i just took off the 315s for lower 325's and got a set of half monos to lower the car, then i lowered the front to match the back but the steering has been spooky. so i took it for an alignment today(yes today because i am on a 4 day work week now with a 20% pay cut) and found out the header has been laying on the tie rod sleeve, bashing the header in pretty good. so i had to raise the front end up and i hate it. to fix the problem will take drop spindles and new wilwoods for the front. i just put new wilwoods on the front 2 months ago(for sale now shameless plug)
then the 1350 u joints and drivshaft, some upgrades to the trans and that is 2 g but there will be something else after thats done, i dont know what it is yet but there will be, oh ya, forgot about my rear brakes locking up at the track last time i was there, probably have to put in different torsion bars with the drop spindles

I know of plenty of hidden/sitting cars in my area, the problem is the people either wont let them go or they just wont answer the door. I know of a 70 challenger just sitting with surface rust, two 69 4spd roadrunners that are gutted and have been sitting since before i was born, and a few A body cars. And yes, i would like to know how much
