This car looks like one that was on ebay recently. What does the Nest think? There are some things I can point out.

There are many other items wrong but the biggest is that it has an Add on tag - the second tag is a fake to this car......

Body in white cars were just bodys delivered to race teams or a person like yourself would have to go the the plant to buy it and trailer it home, or certain taxi cabs and even some police cars,

It's the same one that was on ebay a couple months ago...then located in Massachusetts....and on ebay a year before, back then unrestored and without the fake tag....looks like this one is making the rounds with the flippers!

It needs a Dana! If your going to build a clone do it right or dont do it. The first question would be why do it to a RR? To me this car is nothing more then a glorified clone. I guess most people think if you dont have the numbers matching block, stick a 440, maybe a 6 pac in it and make bank, but I dont subscribe to that logic. I would restore this one, not make it something that it"s not. I'm sorry, but I just cant see doing that. Clones are cool (I'm building one), you can drive the hell out of them and not care too much, and the average guy wont know if it's correct or not. The 6 pac is sweet, I love em dont get me wrong, In the long run this car with a correct 383 from a 71 would make this car worth more, a better investment. These b bodies are a smart investment. I would sell that set up and fix the things on this car that would make it correct. That tag belongs on a car it was intended for, thats what keeps our mopar history true.
I like this RR, black stripes on a white car is subtle, yet outspoken and its a stick.
