Quite a machine. Those Mopars had a certain slight ugliness about them that made them perfect.

Yeah most had that stripped down and ready for the stock car track or 1/4 mile kind of look. They dominated Nascar until the 1969 Mercury Comet Cyclone Spoiler II.

I had one of the Gurney editions but most were Cale Yarborough editions. Kinda funny because I found it in FL and Gurney was West coast guy.

Mine was a rust bucket/basket case with title I found at a yard/estate sale of an old farm who's owner's dad that had collected a lot of old cars and car stuff. I also got a Torino with no title for a spare sheet metal donor. Got them for $500 and ended up moving so I sold them on ebay for $1200. Could have got more but by the time I had the VIN verified as a Dan Gurney Edition, I couldn't edit the auction because it was so close to ending. Some came with a 440 six pack but the one I had was 351 big block with 2bbl so it was never going to be "the one". Chryslers just don't have the value of Chevys and certain Fords either. Would have been a $20k car in primo condition back then, 25 years ago. $30k if 440 six pack.
