Just picked it up a week ago, needed one during the shortage unfortunately.
My wife's uncle asked me if I would sell his sons 71 Dodge Charger for the surviving wife after he had passed away while back. After selling mostly chevy hotrods/parts to support drag racing several years ago I said sure since it was also a family member. So they sent me the car on a wrecker and when it got to my house it was a 1970 Dodge R/T Charger 440 Auto all numbers matching 75000 miles with all the original motor parts inside the car along with a few new interior parts. After a long search the fender tag and build sheet was found under a drawer in a tool box. I could have bought it for a steal but advertised it for them and it sold for a nice chunk couple weeks ago. It needed a lot of restoration and the motor gone through as it lost oil pressure after running about 10-15 min. It was fun messing with it for the 4-5 months I had it.

Cool! I had a couple of those in my younger years--1970 Charger R/T and '70 Charger RT/SE. Paid $900 for the first one, and $1000 for the second. It's astounding to see what cars like that sell for these days.
Yes it takes real money to enter the 70 Charger world.
True. But it did seem like real money back then, too.
I had a '71 Roadrunner 440, in HS.
Bought it for $1200. Had it 2 years and decided to sell it, before college started. Used way to much gas to be commuting.
Had a 16 yo come by. He didn't have his license, yet. I wouldn't let him drive it and told him I wouldn't sell it to him.
He kept coming to look and try to talk me into selling to him.
I kept refusing.
Saturday afternoon, a new Caddy pulls up. He had brought Daddy to buy him the car.
I told Daddy about the car and how a 16 yo inexperienced driver had no business with it.
Daddy and son talk. He says he wants it.
I had been asking $1600, so I tell him $2200.
He pulls out a wad and counts out the cash.
One week later, going to work, saturday morning, I see "my car" wrapped around a telephone pole.
Wish I still had it.

Speaking of chargers, washed mine. She was dirty.
Updated picture of my 1991 Nissan Maxima GXE. Put some 15" enkei wheels and new tires and tinted the windows.
My latest project, a 1962 Jaguar Mk II. When new it was the fastest 4 door car made and the first car with 4 wheel disc brakes. It had the XKE double over head cam 6 .

As a fan of older Japanese vehicles, I love your Nissan! Cool! Is it an auto transmission or the holy 5spd manual?
