At first glance, I like the car but stuff like riveted fender tag, missing rear quarter lip trim and cattywampus deck lid give me pause. Thoughts?

Hmmm...a few "interesting choices" here & there...depending on how nice it really is, though, could be a pretty good deal on an E-body.
Looks clean, and the stroker + original engine is worth some $$$, obviously.
Wouldn't surprise me if a dealer jumps on it and next week it's listed in the 50s.

More like $30K

Stupid

I want to like it but that is not a $40K car. It appears the dash rivets were replaced with incorrect ones AND then a dash cover put on. I'm hoping that is amateur hour type stuff as opposed to a rebody situation. Missing parts and pieces and the grey industrial carpet is a no go. As said above, if the core restoration is good, you can fix at your own pace but I don't expect to have to do much when paying $40K for 73.

I just noticed the firewall has been smoothed and the car lacks windshield wipers. Wonder if this IS a rebody? It's a pretty nice looking hot rod to most people (Brand X'ers) but any true Mopar guy would bust a gut laughing at the fellow who tried to pass this off as a "just swap out the 360 to the original 340" high dollar car. Also, it's being sold in the Seattle area so there are plenty of unsuspecting dot com types with deep pockets that will pay the premium price being asked. Mid to upper 20s for me since it IS an E-body that 'appears' nicely painted. At that price point, I'd own it & drive the wheels off of it...

E body schmeee body....meh. Too much hype over these Jonny come lately pony cars.
Wanna REAL pony car? Howza bout the '69 Boss 302 Mustang? That's a real pony car.
