This car is killing me.

[commando1]

I LOVE full sized rear wheel drive American iron.

I love them more when they are 2 doors.

I love them even more when they have A/C.s_dancing2:
I practically have an orgasm when it's a black/black w/no vinyl roof.:yaayy:
You already can guess what I did when I saw it was a stick shift....:tongue9:

I've been following this car for about 3 years now.
Contacted them twice. Pain in the *** guy to deal with.

But I still have to show it to you...:love9:

And by the way, find me the Fusie version of this car and I WILL draw on my home equity line of credit, Pamela be damned....

 

[thrashingcows]

Looks like a column shift though...no stick shift....

 

[detmatt]

It's a stick, it's just sticking out of the wrong place. It has 3 pedals in the right place though and some strange F-word associated with it...
Kool car, I like it.

 

[commando1]

...no stick shift....

There's an easy remedy for that. It's called a Sawzall.

Kool car, I like it.

I would bet money that it HAS to be a 1 of 1.
Granted, 1 of 1 doesn't mean it has to be desirable or valuable but I'm the world's biggest sucker for this kind of oddball.

There's a few non-mopar cars that I would love to have. I don't think I'll be able to get those unless I hit the lottery jackpot or unless my clock was turned back a couple of decades.

 

[commando1]

My clock was back there a few decades. Trust me, you can't predict the future....
Superbirds sitting on the dealers' lots for a year and finally being given away at below invoice...
I had an uber rare "D-Dart". I beat it to death and I think it wound up in a scrap yard.
Also had a Studebaker Avanti (not the Avant II), a Boat Tail Riviera....
Who knew?????

I hear ya. There is something very special about an all black car. Not very practical here in the south... and I can't commit the 2 days a week to keep it clean any more. (remember blue coral on a black car...?)
And don't get me started on Riveria's..... MAN.... what a road car. I once owned a 68, 72 boat tail and two 76's at the same time.

My biggest DFA was selling my first NEW car.... A 69 A12 Road Runner I special ordered. in March of 69.

Heres pics of it, (the day I brought it home), and the car I traded in for it.... A 66 triple black, 383 4 sp Satellite.

That a 61/62 Newport wagon behind the roadrunner? Beauty cars there guys. I didn't grow up during the hey days, but I had access to a few worn out old mopars. I passed on a 70 Challenger RT/SE 440/4, auto, B5/B5...loaded with options...guy wanted $1500...too much mud in the lower quarters...DoooH!!

What's the difference between this and the Merc Marauder?

 

[polara71]

This car was neat. It showed up a dozen years ago at Carlisle.....from Canada.

There was no 1971 Mercury Marauder.

Chrysler wagon...

That was my dad's 64 Newport hardtop wagon. Not long after he traded it on a 69 Imperial LeBaron 4 door in triple dark blue. What a car that was....!!!!

 

[polara71]

Thanks Bob, I know I read that, probably inHemmings Muscle Machines but I cant retain Ford knowledge

I have managed to find some nice cars in project form and continue to look. I tell you what though, I wouldn't mind finding some more in unrestored original condition like my Imperial.

 

[polara71]

Finding that Imperial is every C body lovers dream.....
