Mark, a 23 year old, was just given a 1970 by his grand dad who ordered it new in 1969, 383 stick shift, no power anything

while it's cool that he4 inherited his grand dad's mopar, and that only the two of them will have owned it, there is about 40k of repairs to make is reliable and respectable, and rust free. 

That front bumper has been twisted, the usual rust is around the dutch panel, the interior is garbage, all of it, but it's a nice long term - in no hurry - kind of keepsake that if repaired, will last another 100k miles before anything needs to be fixed again. 

And, if he wants to track it, he's not messing up a hemi car, or a winged car, a bare bones Road Runner is a nice chassis to build on if you're going to restore, or race. 

I hope his grand dad is bequeathing a small fortune, or a house and garage too, because you can't afford a mortgage or rent while getting started in a career, and still buy car parts




It's strange that I don't run across stories like this, of grand kids getting to inherit a cool muscle car.
