I keep seeing these prices, and remind myself I got a rag top for that money.

It looks like a nice car at first but then the more I look, the more suspicious I become. I try not to criticize C-Bodies because I don't want to de-value our cars but when the price is over 10k, I figure it's fair game because the only thing worse than saying the car isn't worth the price is asking a price that the car isn't worth. ie. Lakeland Lash. If your going to ask top dollar, it should be a top dollar car.
1) The add says, "full restoration". This means that it was taken back to original condition as it was sold in the showroom, or at least close to it with Mopar options. This car can best be described as a Resto-mod.
1.1) vinyl roof car, no vinyl roof.
1.2) No chrome bodyside moldings.
1.3) Engine modifications, coil, radiator, valve covers, air cleaner, carb, and intake.
1.4) Floor shifter
1.5) Exhaust (many will disagree with me on this point but restoration exhausts are available but I'll let the exhaust slide but the tail pipes coming straight out the back I can't for a car described as a restoration.)
1.6) Cragar S/S wheels.
1.7) Carpeted truck mat.
1.8) Scissor jack
1.9) Vinyl under floor shifter.
2) There are some things that make me concerned beyond the resto-mod issue.
2.1) Front left door glass does not line up with rear left door glass.
2.2) Something looks off to me about the front fender. I think it may be full of body filler. I may be wrong on that but it just looks odd and I can't put my finger on it. It might just be the lack of chrome.
2.3) Goofy sticker on the Speedo.

It's Not Going to Shift Itself
I wonder what the actual dash pad looks like under that abomination.

Price is dropping fast

Although you didn't mention the biggest part about the engine - it's obviously NOM as it is a 400.
But yes, any 4-door over $10k is fair game to be fine-toothed for it's condition to be worth the price.
IMHO $10k would be better spent on another car unless this color/body style was exactly what you were looking for.

Looks like the lady of the house installed the engine.

Don't forget the Tijuana doorpanels among the list of sins...I wonder what the actual dash pad looks like under that abomination.

I could be wrong because I'm using my '70 as a guide, but I think there are supposed to be needles on the temp and fuel gauges. (they never disappear completely, not to mention the key is on.)

If I pop my head in the driver's window and see a B&M floor shifter all I do is say sheesh (well something that starts with "S") and walk away.

The VIN says it is originally a 318.

Thats his point... VIN says originally a 318 plus the 400 wasnt available this year

Yep, and that should be a long drawn out sheesh, not a short one like when you miss a taxi...
Yes, I was going more just that it was a 400. I didn't even look at the VIN.
