    I find no humor in that .... facts are facts .... ;) Most 4-doors are worth more in parts than the car sold as a complete vehicle ...

    You might think that a 4dr is only good for parts now .... remember when everyone was tossing their big bumpers into the scrap pile as junk? And now look at what they bring on ebay in good condition.

    Not too long ago, nobody wanted any 4 door Mopars, even if it had a hemi - and now look at them in price.

    I say save any rust free car, no matter what .... JMHO

    Agreed (y) While a 4 dr is still a 4 dr, nice paint and a good set of wheels make them look pretty darn good. Besides, when the wife wants a Maverick that she can still haul kids and groceries around in, what would you build her? :D

    i thought that picture of the 4dr with the chopped top was awesome. i think it came out better than a 2dr would have.:)

    A subtle chop on a 2dr looks awsome, it's almost un-noticeable at certain angles, but really improves the angle of the roof in relation the rest of the horizontal lines on the car.

    Never scrap a rust free car!!!! These cars are just too hard to find in good shape 2 or4 door!! Please sell it to someone who loves these cars and will keep it on the road. Anyone on here would pay a fair price far a rust free 70.

    I'm up in michigan,and would love a chance to get this car from you if the body is in good enough shape. I have been searching for a solid project body. What would you need for it to make it worth your wild
