Not quite sure what was being accomplished with high end Summit headers on a 318 with 1BBL? Car kinda gives the impression of a high school kid who built it after he forgot to take his Ritalln.

This is why “It’s your car. Do what you want!” doesn’t work with me.

Especially if you ever plan to sell it to anybody else.

[mr. fix it]

I have to disagree with anyone poo poo'ing this car.
It's not beyond reclamation by any means. chances are it has good bones and can be undone.
It has a certain appeal to me at least
If the body is solid with little rust issues then this is something that can be altered to the new owner's taste.
The price point is great even with the mods done if not some are a bit bizarre but still with a bit of effort can be changed to suit the new owner if they want to.

Valid perspective but the seller has accounted for the time and money personalizing the car. Why should the next buyer pay for work done then pay again to undo it? Not that long ago, undoing anything wasn’t necessary.

I love guys that find unmolested cars so they can be the first one to screw up what everyone else has preserved for 50 years then try and pass it off to someone else.

My thoughts exactly!
Not so tasteful mods but nothing that can't be undone
Many "Personal touches" can be reversed, that's why you keep all or as much of the OEM stuff you can for the next custodian.

I've never seen a single barrel 318 (?)

The price reflects his efforts (in his mind) maybe he'd keep the 20" wheels LED's etc. for his next piece of art and knock down the price reasonably. Isn't negotiating part of the fun?

Getting rid of that fuel fill door is not an easy fix. Will take considerable welding and paint & bodywork.

I was hoping that was a fake plastic thingy that was double sided taped on. Hope the hood is that way.

Isn't once enough times to see this?

 

[Wollfen]

Did he toss the original seats?

I would think putting large holes in two good door panels would be a little difficult to repair besides that fuel filler location.

 

[CBODY67]

Tires, wheels, hood, and some interior trim panels. Are those side impact airbags in the seats?? "Apace alien contact antennae" where the headrest poles used to be? Wondering what's below that new fuel filler location? Might not be too hard to fab up some sheet metal to patch some of the holes, but it would still need to be done.

A question would be "What's been done that's not shown in the pictures?"

On the other hand, Chrysler didn't build that many convertibles any way. Usually less than 2k/year in any style, as I recall. In that case, this "profilin' 318" might be worthy of saving, somehow.

Not to forget that almost anything that would be "repaired/replaced" on this car would probably need to be done on an unmolested car of that age with reasonable "wear and tear". Have to look at is as an "unknown quantity" and price it from there.
