Anyone from St. Louis know this car? A buddy is interested in buying it but he lives in Florida, let me know if you can help! wave

I texted a buddy (Greg Knobbe) to see if he knew the car.
He said it was in South County (Oakville), he knew that Dan Smith rebuilt the Hemi in it last year.
He also knew how much the guy is asking for it, kinda figured that he would. laugh2



Dan builds a lot of Mopar engines for the local guys.
He built the 572 Hemi that was in the 67 Satellite, the 451 stroker our 69 Dart GTS and lately the 6.4 Hemi that in the wife's 06 Charger Daytona.

Greg is supposed to be at the Nats so you can pick his brain about it directly.
If we end up in our normal spot we'll be next to the AMC Club.
Bill Mabrey's 71 GTX will be there with him trying to sell it. wink

He still has some fast cars, the Demon is usually a 10. 0 to high 9's car.
His chassis 88 LeBaron is in the 8's.
His 79 Chrysler 300 is in the low to mid 11's.
His 72 Charger is upper 11's.

All of them except the chassis LeBaron are small blocks. drive

Has Bill still got that 1/2 million mile convertible? I thought I'd heard it was wrecked pretty bad a few years back
Think he had "heartbrkr" for license plates.....

Yeah, he’ll be at the Moparty, I’m sure he’s hoping that the GTX will be gone before that so he can drive either the Challenger or the Barracuda he bought.

You can find Greg in the car corral, they brought up their 71 V-Code Challenger to sell.
They’re on the left end of the car corral.

Not to hijack the post, but...
I still have it. They can do repair wonders these days and you could never tell it's been hit.
It's at 634K. Still going strong
It would be at the Mopar Nats this weekend, but the '71 GTX has to go (new project in the wings) and the Nats is the place to do it.
I'm probably taking the Challenger to the show in Dubuque in a couple weeks.


While outside on the turnpike They got this new hit tune Where thrills become as cheap as gas And gas as cheap as thrills

Find it hard to believe somebody interested in a car at that price wouldn’t jump on a plane, rent a car at the airport and go see it themselves. Probably well less than 7-800 bucks all in for a cheap airfare and a rental car.
That way you can’t second guess someone else’s opinion/ thoughts on it.

It could be that he wants to get some idea before making the trip.
