Original CA car . No rust ever except a small trunk pan patch . This is one of the most rust free well preserved chargers we have seen in quite some time . very solid. We purchased the car with the original paint on it. No structural damage or accidents. We painted it and put a new interior in it. We provided the charger with new wheels and tires. We checked all the systems for integrity . Everything is now functioning as it should. We plan to color sand and buff the paint for the new owner and Apply the General Lee decals and provide the charger with a push bar and Dixie horn. This charger is a factory AC car and retains a 383 cu in big block engine and automatic 727 transmission as factory provided.
