Vehicle Registration & Status Note: The vehicle was last registered as a Planned Non-Operation (Non-Op) and placed into storage around 2008, retaining its original 2008 orange registration sticker. Because the non-op status has been continuously maintained without a lapse, past-due compounding penalties have not accumulated. The vehicle is sold as-is with its historical non-op status; the buyer will assume full responsibility for updating the registration and any current fees with the California DMV upon title transfer. (Cannot be driven on public roads until current registration and any required inspections are completed).

• Serious Inquiries Only: Given the pedigree, numbers-matching drivetrain, and original broadcast sheet, this car is best suited for an informed Mopar enthusiast or collector who understands the value and project scope of a surviving E-body fresh out of long-term storage.

• Viewing & Transport: Located in Orange County, California. The car is currently non-running due to its extended storage period and will require a flatbed trailer for transport. Clean title in hand.
