I didn't realise Kate Moss was in that and driving the car!
Find any funny white powders down the back of the seat?

Nice buy Wayne! Love to see those 72+ E-bodie's. They kick ass too!
I keep hearing more and more, they're built a lot better than the 70-71 model's. With the 72 to 74 year's, they got some kink's out.
You have two nice car's there, Wayne.

Well the lump is a 440 with a holley street avenger...
the car was originally a 318...
the box is a 727....
Interesting history too..
I have a written piece of paper from a sheriff in the us who says that the car was found abandoned and then sold!!!

Well it needs work no doubt..some rust here and there..some new metal around the roof etc..
But before she was stripped she ran like a crazy...pro street style!!

Great! Sounds like it doesnt need any mechanicals. How is the trim? around the windows, doors, bumpers, rear tailights, headlight buckets. front grill?

Well, now is your golden opportunity to not only learn more but to create it your way! Thankfully, many of the trim parts I spoke of are now available as reproduction, with the front grill to follow soon from what I hear on the 'grapevine'! Have you thought about converting it into a Shaker car? Nothing is as exciting I think! It does require about a 5k comittment. Kinda pricey, but hey the eye candy is as cool as a blonde,(Holly)

Yeah it's really cool Wayne, kids go nuts over my car. I have to beat them off with radio whip just to keep their sticky fingers off!
(Of course you would HAVE to place a sixpack on it, which in thoery gives you better gas milaege because you only use the mid carb until you need the outboards, so do it Wayne) BTW, I wouldnt lie to you! trust me on this!!

No Tony had my 70, Matt owned the 72 back in 94, he raced it a the pod!!

I never knew Matt had that car! I do know he had the yellow one (which he still has) but I thought the pink Aussie Charger he has now was the only other car he had.

Yeah he told me he raced it at the pod, he met a guy there in 94 and bought it from him, raced it the next year. Its been in the UK a long time.

I am sure John Marsh had it at some point and probably fitted the 440.

Could have been after Matt alright, I believe the 440 was a bit of a demon to go!!
Ive seen those six pack set ups for sale on ebay Dave priced at about $2.5k, what do you make of those Dave??
