Racer X 69 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 I had one of those. Well, except the steering wheel was on the wrong side. Fun little car, slant 6, 3 speed manual column shift. A buddies mom got old and couldn't drive anymore, her husband bought it brand new. I picked it up for $300. A few months later I was coming home from the grocery store and a teenage girl in an early Celica ran a red light and I T-boned her. She had only had her license 2 weeks. Her insurance company gave me $200 for the groceries that went from the back seat to the floor, $600 for "medical" expenses, pain and suffereing, and $800 for the car. Oh, since it was near my house the car had been towed there,, so after it was all said and done I parted the car out and got another few hundred bucks before I sold the carcass for scarp. That $300 was a good investment. 1 Quote Link to comment

Racer X 69 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Its a later charger. You can see r/t on the front fender and charger on the rear quarter I saw the RT and emblem. Still, doesn't look like any Charger I've ever seen. Are they Dodge or Plymouth in Australia? Quote Link to comment

It's an AUS market release Chrysler. Dodge or Plymouth was never marketed here at that time. Now some cars are sold via Daimler Chrysler here as "Dodge" 1 Quote Link to comment

Racer X 69 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Vin number 00002 1965 hardtop Mustang, after 13 owners still looks factory fresh Really nice write up on the link https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2017/03/17/first-hardtop-mustang-by-serial-number-to-get-its-moment-in-the-spotlight/ And look at where it is registered. Bet they only get about 3 weeks of decent driving weather a year up there. 2 Quote Link to comment
