Reducing the Beak?
The thing that sold me on my 1973 Dart Sport 340-727 8.1/4 321:1 Sure Grip was it cost me 800 bucks and I worked the 800 bucks off.
So the low buck Beak Car was ok. As the kids today say it is what it is.
Then buying NOS parts was cheap coming from the E Body world.
I would embrace a 1973-76 Swinger or Scamp too
