7G = Explorer (allegedly)  so much for that one off chassis

Exactly. People forget that before the muscle car renaissance, the “classics” were dogged just as hard as the SN95. My FIL literally had a field full of “classic” muscle cars in running driving condition back in the 80s and they weren’t worth anything. My uncle has a 1970 Challenger T/A he sold in 84 for pennies of…
