Dan the Man cars ?

he's effectively hamstrung himself with the extremely limited criteria he feels acceptable.
clean and rust free 70~72 dart, 70~74 duster, 70~73 scamp
must have V8, AT, PS & AC (might as well put PB in there too)
budget is 22K

which should be doable. but he refuses to expand his search beyond 250mi of the evident mopar desert he lives in.

from previous ramblings:
>the interior must be perfect, he flat out turned one down because of a flaw in the headliner
>color seems to be somewhat important
>no "race cars"
>zero bodywork (too expensive)

everything is going to require work at some level, unless it's like a 60K car and even then it'll probably need something dumb. the search radius is ridiculous; 500mi minimum is where you should start if you're serious. the inability to have imagination or vision is crippling in a very true can't see the forest for the trees outlook.

find a car that's 12K and needs 10K in paint and body, scoop an excellent "race" car and take off all the race stuff to sell or trade, go for a cheap and clean slant car and drop in a V8.

all of that is off the table.

so basically, if you impose limitations you get what you get and you don't get upset.
you pay thru the nose, or you buy cheap and build it.
I picked up this, after selling my 66 Satellite, to a guy that drove from Texas to Tampa to get it.....4 k , 12 year old paint. But I did have a built 340, 727 and 4:10 Richmond gear set I kept and put I this. I definitely have some money and time in it, 98% rust free. My Mopar Brother Big AL ( 2nd head at the Caddy bodyshop, did it for another Mopar Brother, my Friend Brian....
