Re: WIW--OPINIONS WANTED

Interesting thread. My only opinion is that while this is a Hemi car, I find it extremely unattractive. Not because it isn't in good shape and documented yada yada.......just because its ugly. later B and E bodies are just more appealing to many more people. You will really need to work hard to find a buyer who is into this body style and the rarity of it.
I love amost every car, new and old, but this style is just .........blah........especially when compared to the pinnacle stuff of 69, 70 and 71.
Good luck with the sale.

No doubt about the fact that it is not the sleekest looking car. I personally like the looks of a 1966 Mopar 2 door hardtop better. However, I "get" the sleeper/strpper look thing as well.
If you think this car is ugly take a look at the early 60s Mopars like the Max Wedge Darts and Savoys. The have a face only a mother could love. The guys that were serious about racing really didn't care about the looks, it was more about power, weight, and money. There is a BIG following for these old sleeper/stripper cars in ALL makes in the hobby, but it of course is not as big as the following of better looking old cars.
It was embarassing back in the day when a car looking like your grandma's pulled up to the light and asked if you wanted to race and left you standing in the dust.
