It's hard enough to fit the unit into the stock tunnel, further back with the long adapter; it would be impossible without tunnel mods, to install it off a short tail.
No doubt! $20k is getting you a vin tag and some scrap metal. $40k is a sad fixer-upper.
But, a quick search for '69 Darts shows $50k avg for a nicely restore 340 car. Glad I got my cars when I did.
That's too bad.
I know what it's like to lose things to a fire.
About 20 years ago, my brother was cooking on the stove and fell asleep. (He had been doing 16 hour days)
He got out with minor burns, but we lost a lot of N.O.S. Mopar parts in there.
We lost a lot of memories like photo albums...
This 68-70 Charger market is insane.
A non R/T 69 Charger, solid CA car, new interior, new 440?, etc, BUT with patina worn out dark green paint that’s clear coated over…
Just sold at Mecum for $77K
These Chargers sure ain't getting any cheaper, and $80k is a fair price for a really nice non original car.
I think this is a little more worth the money even though it needs some refining.

And this one has more...
I ended up with the blue 72 Duster that was there. His name is Andy, Nice guy. I know him for many years. It was a whole car but not much left of the car that wasn't rotted. So I took a couple parts and scrapped it
AMD tail light panels are not made correctly. So I was going to buy that...
Here's an example of a NICE car. It's not a Mopar, and it's not a muscle car. I don't know what it's worth. It was in a museum for 61 years and looks almost new! It'll have issues as a result of sitting for so long, but it's nice. I just happen to see it on that site. I like dreaming. lol...
I was thinking the same thing earlier this morning but haven't been able to get around to it yet. Brand new plugs at startup also with maybe a half hour on them so hopefully it shows
