That is a beautiful car! I don’t know much about 70/80s American cars but I like that one!

That's probably one of the more well optioned '74s I've ever seen. I had a '72, not a fan of the '73-'74. Everyone thinks it's the same car but not quite. In pursuit of NVH isolation, they redesigned the front suspension on the '73 B body only (left the E body alone). The K member size was increased dramatically in order to have all the front suspension components attached to it, then bolted that to the frame with 4 large rubber donuts; this required also adding a rag joint to the steering. Sloppy steering & handling. The giant K members and the frame areas were even more prone to rusting than Mopars already were at that time. If you catch it in time the rot can be mitigated and the slop can be removed with solid mounts.
Those plastic filler bumper pieces and the fixed quarter window louvers too

Wild - good post. Car looks very cool and low miles. Haven't seen any of this vintage sell in quite a while. Is the $33K Canadian price good,middle of road or over thetop? in your option.

Guessing the summary ai read the 400 as 400cc vs 400 cu/inch. So less than 1l

If the cars as good as the pictures protray it to be,it's a hell'va bargain at that price Dean.
I think it's on consigment,as it was for sale a few months ago,by i'm guessing the original owner as the video of it back then showed it being drove,by a guy who i'd guess was in his mid to late 70's.
I've never actually seen this car, if it had shown up at any of the local shows,i would remember it,so i'm guessing the milege listed could be the correct milege.

There's lots of cars on our local Market Place that list the engine as -1 for some reason.Has to be a Market Place issue i'm guessing.

Looking at the underhood pics,the car looks to be virtually rust free,so it probably never seen a Canuck winter,lol.The changes to the 73/74's are relatively easy fixes,but i agree they didn't do the cars any favours when they tried to miniumize NVH in the 73/74's.
I thought i'd posted the underhood pics last night,but apparently not,i did post them today though Hemi,if you want to look at the underhood shots,my Bad
The car definitely has the proper old school stance though,it sits the way i think a muscle car should sit,and has the proper big-n-little set of tires under it,i wouldn't change a thing in that respect

Okay. I was gonna bite…..what is NVH?
BUT then Mr Google told me!
Noise, vibration and harshness…..

I would clean out one of my garages to bring that car home.
Unfortunately, the shipping costs from Alberta would likely cost me a body part.

I’ve got one or two that don’t work properly anymore you can have cheap! Ram diver

Thanks for the offer. If they were in the same condition as the white Charger appears to be, that might be tempting. Unfortunately, all this tariff BS would kill any deal, crossing the border in either direction.

One of my neighbours recently returned to the US after living up here for about 35 years.
He and his wife have had dual citizenship for decades, and their kids live out West.

He's pissed that the IRS (or whoever) was going to ding him several thousand dollars to import a low-mileage, '90s Honda Civic that was made in Canada.

His truck is exempt because it was made in the USA.

Well there are a couple around that would drive it to Ont, If we could get out of the joint in a hurry.
Quite familiar to that power train.
Mind you I may stop here for a bit.
But wrong time of year for me. I am sick of snow already and only been 4 days,

Looks to be in good shape. Interior and underhood didn't change so it looks quite familiar. In fact those look alot like the ****** headers I had on the 400 in my '72 Beep beep.

They look close to the same headers we put on my high school buddies 73 Satelite Sebring+ way back in high school,as it was a 400 /automatic car,lol.We put the heads /cam and intake manifold off a 68 383 on it to,and the car would beat up on most stock 440's back in the day

 

[HemiLonestar]

"H o o k e r" headers guys, its not profanity smh......

0oh. Poor old William Shatners character T.J ****** wouldn’t have a chance on here would he?????
