This gives me hope for the future

Since I own a car similar to this , I guess I know how I'll fund my retirement.

Here's what I see:

1. Upper rad hose is a flex hose. For 12K there better be a molded hose, preferably with correct stamps.

2. Engine bay painted black. We all know that's a no-no.

3. Trunk coated with GM splatter paint. Another non-no. I don't recall seeing a bag for the jack ever before though.

4. Black bumpers. No.

5. Obviously dash is cut for a newer radio. Guess this one one would get a pass since a lot of people like a modern radio.

6. Cheapo 3-gauge hanging off the dash, and it's missing one of the gauges. Not in a 12k car.

7. 2-groove alternator in a single-groove application. Haven't people learned this yet.

All in all, I like this car. I can tell it was restored by a non-Mopar person. I guess I'm both surprised and happy that a non-AC, brown 318 car is capable of bringing this kind of money now. I figured this would at least be 4-speed 360 territory for a '74.

Makes me glad I invested the $1200 in my red AC car years ago :cheers:
