It's a beautiful car. Like the others, I think the automatic swap and A/C delete do nothing but detract from its value.

I have to admit, I never read the ad (Automatic swap? That's a thing?). I just shared based on pictures, because I figured it'll tickle @XR7-4.6 to have been out-gauged.

(Automatic swap? That's a thing?).

At the height of the who has the fastest SC arms race it definitely happened to a few cars. If you’re going for consistent quarter mile ETs you cannot beat an automatic, plus the IRS copes substantially better from a launch on drag radials with a high stall converter automatic in front of it than it does a manual with a 5000rpm clutch dump.

There actually was a time the predominating club culture kind of considered 4R70w to manual swaps sacrilege, certain people took the notion like it was a personal betrayal to Jerry W.

Looks like it could be decent and the price is right. Don't see any rust in the rockers from the pics. Think they pulled the driveshaft to tow it on the dolly? Eh, not that it matters. 94/95 so probably needs a transmission rebuild anyway.

That low of an angle will still be an issue for dolly towing on these cars?

Not the last new set. I have a full brand new set stashed away.

As do I

For our friends in the north!

Several questionable modifications on this car. None the least is the license plate covering up more than half of the intercooler. I feel like this could possibly be a good car if several things were undone to it. Question is, did the lift come about for IC ground clearance or was it just convenient to put it there because of all the extra ground clearance?

I don't recognize the car, but some 60's era cars were made for the rutted 60's gravel roads.
Think two wheel tracks with gravel in mud, and a 6-12" high center.
My Cougar doesn't visit some places I go; bike or jeep places. But in the 60's the Cougar ain't making it to the road from the driveway, let alone the house, at most of my relatives houses then.

It's a '62 Dodge Lancer which already had some questionable styling touches, but we'll put it in the "it's so ugly it's cool category".

That is... I didn't have anything nice to say, so. Anyway, I think it's lifted to fit those wheels.
