One more for now, cant wait to beat around in this thing this summer. I'm going to take it every where with no worries.

I got lucky, I had wanted ads in our local for sale mags for a while trying to find an ebody rag and I ended up finding a real 383 4 speed plum crazy 70 challenger in upstate NY on craigslist and bought it(it's the white one in my pics). Shortly after I had a guy call me after seeing my wanted ads in the mag, he was local to me and he needed the money. I didn't really have the money to buy so I took a small loan out to buy it and I'm really glad I did.

I tried to sell it to buy this but the deal ended up going alittle south so I pulled it off early when I found out the guy wouldn't sell me the truck :rotz:

I go absolutely crazy over these macho truck and ramcharger and when I saw this one posted on moparts there was no doubt in my mind that I had to have it.  The mileage is crazy on it and it still has the window sticker in the window. The guy that owns it thought I was trying to scam him when I wanted to wire transfer him the money for it :shruggy:. So I gave up on it and I'm keeping both of my ragtops now.

 :lol: We got lucky and traded a lot in our subdivision with a contractor and he framed up the 60x100 garage for us. We finished the inside of it.  We wanted to make sure it was large enough this time so we wouldn't be bumping into each other all the time like before. Found a paint booth at a dodge dealer ship that was getting rid of it dirt cheap and added that to it as well. Every thing we buy for it me and my brother split and that makes it allot easier to afford. Now we just need to get some running water down there so we can have a hose to clean out the paint booth and put in a bath room.

Are Challenger Verts rare or something?  I found two in Nov.





Sweet cars though, I've been following all your car stuff over on Moparts, with the incredible Macho Plow truck and Challenger restoration threads.

Remember... if you ever wanna adopt.....

Ryan those are some cool finds, this black challenger was tucked in a corner of a small garage when I went to look at it and I couldn't even get near it because there was so much crap on it like the one in your pic. I was hoping it was some what solid when I went to pick it up as I couldn't even get a real good look at it before then(lol).

Maybe the 2 of you could help me with some donorparts considering all the verts that you have. :smilielol:

Yeah, I don't tend to have that kinda luck!  All I get is rusty cars here in the mid-west.

And don't look at me for parts... I have hard tops.



70 Barracuda Vert I almost bought... needed too much work for a 18 year old... notice the windshield framework.

Indeed, the back half was a Vert and someone cut up a hard top just for the windshield frame and front end pieces.

Wow. Since I've been laid off, I've been looking for something to get into.

Looks like a tanning salon just might be the thing!

That's what I was thinking.
