Latest project that I don't have time or money for

Slants can be really cool!!!!!!

Is the big applique panel on the trunk still intact?

If it is, it is, just that piece of trim alone is worth what he gave for it. The buckets are another $300 easily. I have been trying to find a set and I think I will go with A100 van seats with some Hemi Dart style brackets.

'Slants' are your friends :D. I've got a '70 Barracuda Coupe & a '71 Challenger with/6 power. I recently bought a Hemi-Orange '71 Scamp with /power(not to mention a 10-point 'cage & Frame Connecters...)for $1600 :o . The world really needs MORE Inline'd Hot-Rods. ~OO6.

Slants are great engines. I drug a car out of a field that had sat for a long time. This field had flooded many times. The slant 6 was siezed. We squirted some ATF in each cylinder, and let it sit for about two hours. Hooked up the battery and broke it loose. Remote gas tank, dribble of gas in the carb and fired it up. Pulled that engine and sold it. It ran for a long time. The only thing it needed was a new fuel pump.

Nice score! There's a lot of things you can do to hop up a slant. A V8 swap would probably be cheaper for the same amount of power, but more common. Just don't go for fenderwell headers if you go for the big block swap; on an A-body this takes a lot out of the front subframe strength.

Grancuda,
Unfortunately it is not. I've been watch some go on ebay for ridiculous money.

I've looked at the slant six forum and think a built six would be cool, but I want to go fast for cheap.
