Looks like original Curious Yellow with a white top and white stripe. The rear end we dragged out from the other side of the car. I am buying this car as we speak...they have all the papers etc and the story is the guy who owned it passed away and it has been sitting ever since there are no liens as his family owns the condo/apartment and his sister lives there. It has under 30,000 for real so they say I took a pick of the dash.
Anyway if all goes well it should be mine in the next few days...figures I am just in the process of doing my 72 SSP and this shows up but what do you do I have to have it.

Reminds me of my wife. As she finally got fed up, and pointed out the fact to me that my major flaw was that instead of finishing a car. About the time I'd get any extra money. Another car that I just "had" to have. Would come along, and I'd buy it. Instead of finishing any of the project cars I had at the time. At the height of my madness I had like 12 project cars laying around the place. All of them needing work. It's hell to have Mopar car disease!!!

Congrats. Looking forward to seeing more pics. Is that a Rimblow I see? Is there a drivetrain for the car?

Looks to be a Tuff steering wheel the family thinks the engine is at another location it is a 440. You can't have enough mopars thats what I say. Just can't let this one slip away too nice a platform to work with

This is an extra posi rear end as it has a posi already. 2 fender tags one of them does not have a lot of info on it but it is a heavliy optioned car for sure. I am going to store this one away for a while and continue with the SSP for now.

What an awesome find! That's great to hear! You just never know what's lurking around in the corners still. Maybe a "haunted Mopar"! Hahaha :)

Congrats! I had a '71 GTX I acquired as part of a trade 10 years back. It had the #er's motor with it and a non fender tagged n96 hood on it. Sold the car eventually but kept the hood. Kind wish I had kept that one now, don't see many nice restorable ones anymore.

Lets face it once you are possessed :mad: by mopars it is impossible to excersise :stirpot: them from your soul ...anyway the deal is done...the car was located in Montreal I found while visting relatives so for now it is in my inlaws garage in Ottawa until such time that I get possessed into starting another project. I still can not believe my eyes I look around all the time but cars in Canada are hard to find let alone in this condition.

Yes it is a done deal car is safely put away until I finish my 72 SSP got a extra posi in the deal which is going into the 72 which is perfect because I just put a 440 into it. Anyway it has 2 fender tags one tag says
special order on it I can't say that I have seen that before
