Default 69 Charger Find

I recently pulled this Charger out of a very long hibernation. I asked Steve(NJSteve) about it since I did not know that Chargers were available with a slant 6. Apparantly they are quite rare. Anyway, Steve asked me to post some pictures so I took some quick ones. It is as found at this point, I have not touched it other than filling the tires and putting it on the trailer. Here are a few pics.

Weren't those 6 cylinders usually the choice candidates for the General Lee conversions before they..

This one is an auto with A/C. A strange duck indeed. The rear axle is the puniest thing I've ever seen. It looks like it belongs under a MG or something.

Neat Charger. What are your plans for it?

That is a real rare and strange one for sure. A 145 horsepower, 225 slant-6 with auto and a/c. T7 is Dark Bronze Metallic by the way. Cool!

I plan to sell it. The last thing I need is another project. The Charger came along with a large buyout. It was an all or nothing type of deal. It is kinda temping though. It is a solid start for a hot rod. It does have rust here and there but nothing like most I have seen.

The slant 6 w/air was a REAL dog. My mom had a '66 Fury with this combo, and she hated it so much that it got traded in for a '67 with a 318. When you went down a free way ramp in Detroit, with the air running, it was like a Kamikaze run if there was any traffic, (which there always was).
