Id not make the trip if it were free. Not a fan of mixed parts such as that.
I do wonder about cars like that about blocks and such. In the 80-s tons of hemis and 440-6s made there way into older junk and street rods. More hemi-s at the rod shows then car shows back then.

inspect CLOSELLY before buying.
after seeing this pic. you can easily see the mask line on the grill.. the latches and rubber bumps stops painted i wonder what else they hacked up.
these parts are easily removed before painting. if they don't do this simple job i wonder what they did when things got difficult?

I always look for that stuff too. Anyone who cuts those corners is cutting other corners too.

Agreed, I'd also want some good pic's of the underside and interior.
But for 22 if it is solid rust wise might be worth it. Doesn't help I've always wanted a big Chrysler drop top
and then there's that RESALE RED color 😁
