Condition: Used
Seller Notes: “PURCHASED OFF EBAY FROM BUILDER DAN STATES AUGUST 2014. DAN BUILT THE CAR TO LOOK LIKE A FACTORY OPTIONED MUSCLE CAR & CALLED IT THE HP2 EDITION DODGE. HE ASKED THE QUESTION: WHY DIDNT DODGE BUILD A C-BODY MUSCLE CAR DURING THE FUSELAGE YEARS LIKE THE CHRYSLER HURST & PLYMOUTH SPORT FURY GT? THEN HE BUILT HIS OWN! 1971 WAS THE LAST YEAR FOR 440 6 PACK CARS & IT APPEARS SO FACTORY THAT MANY DONT REALIZE ITS A ONE OFF EXAMPLE, ITS LIKE A PROTOTYPE SHOW CAR! IT BEEN STORED IN A HEATED GARAGE SINCE PURCHASE & ONLY 650 MILES HAVE BEEN ADDED SINCE. IT ALWAYS STARTS UP, DRIVES GREAT & I WOULDNT HESITATE TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY: MANY PEOPLE SAY THIS BUT I MEAN IT! THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR HAS BEEN PAINTED & DONE VERY WELL BUT ALL OTHER PAINT: DOOR JAMBS, UNDER THE HOOD & TRUNK, ETC. ARE ORIGINAL. THE WHITE VINYL TOP IS ORIGINAL AS IS THE INTERIOR EXCPET FOR THE CARPET. IT DRIVES FANTASTIC, FLOATS OVER THE ROAD & HAS TOO MUCH POWER! EVERYTHING & I MEAN EVERYTHING IS LIKE NEW!”

This is it before the transformation. I remember this car being for sale and no one wanted it when it was original

I really dig it.

Would even more with some Rallye Wheels, RWL, and chrome bumpers

edit:

I really dig it.

Would even more with some black steel wheels, chrome lug nuts, RWL, and chrome bumpers

 

[polara71]

I like the car but found it to be mundane when it was original and Im not floored by it today . I like it and I hope he gets what hes looking for out of it.

Glad you didn't say black wheels with chrome lug nuts

I saw the listing prior to Steves posting. I also recall it selling to the current owner

I recall from the last thread on this car Dave. I was just adding the price to this thread

 

[polara71]

for a couple of old guys we recall a lot don't we?

Yep but not everything, for me anyway. Car stuff is fun though so it tends to stick better than other stuff

I think why I don't care for the look, is that it reminds me of winter

Snow tires on a Mustang GT.
That's like tits on a bull.

That's cool, up above, the photo of the car BEFORE the build, Id never seen that. Its for sale because I simply don't drive it. Car shows have died out around here & who has the time to go if there were? If it doesn't sell I will be glad to keep her but it would be nice to find out I'm not the only one who thinks its special. Dan built it right & Ive kept it perfect since.

I'm not surprised it took Dave about 2 minutes to find this thread. This car is one of several C Bodies I've seen lately that are priced at a level that seems high. Are we starting to see a trend because IMHO the mods make this one interesting but not that special?

Glad you showed up to comment on your car. I like it a lot and know that the sum of the original purchase price, work, and parts is probably many times what you are asking whether you paid more or not .. someone did.

The value of the work the previous guy did/had done and parts are not cheap to replicate.

P.S. to no one specifically don't bother to tell me you can't expect to get your time compensated for yada yada yada

I think it's pretty special. Not too many 69-71 C bodies have big block/440+6, 4 speeds executed this well and with such attractive color combos.

+1

im not in that kinda market ( or any kinda market, actually)

but that is some badassery going down

 

[live4theking]

Way out of my money ballpark, but it looks as though it was done very well. I like the fact that they didn't butcher the hood.
