For me because of the initial cost savings I always consider failed projects (I have been resurrecting old vehicles for over 40 years), To me its a thrill to drag one home, take inventory, then go on the hunt for the missing items, then more than likely 2 or 3 more of the same vehicle show up for parts. (yes it is an addiction).
I have owned/built many Mopars in the past and agree with the comments above that choosing one it will cost you 3 times as much as a Chevy/Ford etc. But if its what you want, go for it.
If you do find yourself with a project, keep in mind that I have an extra 440/727 and a fresh B body Dana 60 posi laying around I do not need.
