The ravages of time - 1971 Charger R/T

[Magnumcharger]

Actually, the wheels on the Charger in the "before" shots came off of a beautiful 1968 Charger from Pennsylvania. The '68 owner wanted to put aluminum slots on his car, and sold the magnums to Barry for a fire-sale price!
The current rims on the '71 are obviously '69-up road wheels.

So, as a follow up, I've been informed that this car has been bought by a member here on DodgeCharger.com.
And no, it isn't me!

This is/was a great car, with oodles of potential! The owner tells me that he has the underside restored already!

Here is a link to my Flickr.com site, with more than a couple of vintage shots of this car:

Who bought it? I'd like to keep following this story with a resto thread if the new owner doesn't mind.

It looks like Tim Wilson is his name. Here's what I could find.....

Well... that didn't work!
I don't know how to link that specific page to this but if you go down on the left lower side in that link, you'll see "Charger R/T rides" index, then scroll down to "Tim Wilson" and click on his name, then you'll get to see what I tried to link. Sorry for the monkey business.

Holy Cow, the rear quarter looks like it is 6-8 foot in the air.

 I guess it works..However it's so tall, how do you do bodywork ? 

[XS29L]

Maybe the bodyman is 8 feet tall.  Glad to see the car is being repaired .

Do all the stop signs in the Great White North say "Stop, Arrest"?  Is Arrest Canadian for Stop?   

Not quite! Arret is French for Stop.
In New Brunswick tsthere is a bilingual sign policy, even though only 10% of the population is considered bilingual/French speaking.
It's probably due to the proximity of Quebec, which is considerably larger and more influential.
Personally, I don't even notice it anymore!

The province is 32% french speaking, not 10%. The largest city, Moncton, is 46% bilingual and the proximity to Quebec has nothing to do with it, the local population does. Moncton is actually the farthest city from the Quebec border and is closer to the state of Maine and the province of Nova Scotia.

I like the idea of the boxes for a lift!!!!

growing up in se minnesota, a neighbor had a red one like that.  always thought it was cool as hell.  don't know what ever happened to it. probably sold it in college. I'm glad this car gets to stay in the community so to speak.
