Someone walked in with $1 million and they didn't sell? And now they're selling it for $700K? Yeah, that sounds like a dealer, alright.

Awesome car.. that would make one hell of a General Lee clone....
Mapleleaf Mopar reference
Only thing to do with that car is to start building a house.. once you got the foundation and such done park the car on it and build the rest of the house around it. Be a shame to even drive it down to the local convience store cause you would double the mileage on the odometer

I could be wrong but I thought that original Speedos had black numbers for the tenths of a mile on the odometer and Replacement speedos had red numbers. I noticed this when I bought an NOS speedo for my car

To a point I agree, but why drive a museum piece?? There are many more out there to drive....
