Moderators: I hope a WTB ad is okay here as we do not have a WTB section.
I want to buy your C-body...
Yeah, I'm serious. My last college student kid graduates May 1 and I've been saving! The one I will want to spring for likely (but not absolutely) will be a:
Collector Car Market Review Condition Guidelines
While I won't be ready to open the wallet till April (maybe a few weeks earlier), I don't think it'll hurt to start the conversation now, while, hopefully, your C is safe from Mickey and Minnie's family and the County Salt Monsters. Now, those things said, I'm not overly fussy:
Originality: Not numbers matching? Not concerned. Upgraded to disc brakes and threw in later model seats? Fine. Long as it's done well. Not a fan of 24-inch wheels or flames on the hood, though.
Drivetrain: Love the slants, the small and the big blocks. Hey, they're all Mopar! Just need it to run well. Comfortable with a 3-tree or Torqueflite.
The year/model: Yes, like you, I have favorites. But I can appreciate a humble '65 /Six Fury I 4 door as readily as I do a '70 New Yorker sedan with a 383. I do tend to prefer Slabs and Fusies over Formals.
However, the only 2 doors I am likely to find in my budget are unlikely to be in #2 or #3 territory. If I want a "done," or close to it, I'll probably have to go for a more door. And I'm okay with that. And though I fall solidly into the fan category of "check writer" (at least for now), I've learned that VMR does as fair as a job as anyone (and much better than Hagerty or NADA) at sizing up the market. Check out the link and the example.

My promise to you? No big games or insulting low-ball offers. I'm not planning on rodding it nor passing off your hard work as my own at a show. Just to enjoy it as it is.
Naturally, build threads, underbody pix and receipts would be welcome.
