Road trip

[66FBCharger]

I am flying out to Mich. tomorrow to check out/buy a '69 Charger R/T 440 4 speed car. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I will try to post pictures tomorrow after I check it out.
If the deal goes through, I hope to be cruising in it on my birthday (9/16).
Stay tuned!

Are you flying out and driving it home?

[66FBCharger]

I would like to drive it home, but I am planning on having it shipped. i am not sure how I could register it and drive it home the day I buy it.

Is it the bronze one?

I've done it in several states.  Just call the Michigan DMV and they will tell you how and what to do.  Some states have a 30 day tag and some have a transportation tag.  Weekends might be an issue.

Good luck!

Cool, hope the condition of the car stacks up and that you can make a deal stick.
Good Luck

Is it the bronze one?

Yes it is the bronze one that was/is listed in our DC.com For Sale section.
The best things about the car are, complete and driveable, matching numbers and a color other than green!

Good luck.  Looks like a nice car for the $$.  Especially since it's numbers matching.

[66FBCharger]

Thanks to all for the well wishes!
I will try to figure out how to post pictures from my Droid after I look at the Charger. Iwill  have a little time hanging around before the return flight. That should give me time to figure it out. Otherwise, I will post them from my computer on Thursday if I can't figure out how to upload from my  phone.

You can get the photobucket setup, or simply attach...it isn't very fluid, but I have done it once on my htc, lol.  Good luck!

The one listed on Ebay in Detroit?  I called and tried to have someone stop out and take a look and they never got back to me.

How do I resize pictures? It said they were too large (1Mb).

[nvrbdn]

if you hit the options at top one will allow you to resize. open the pic up resize and then you will have to rename the photo since you already tried with the name you have on the pic.

[66FBCharger]

Here goes. I resized some pictures. I hope they are the right size.

Yes this is the car that was on ebay. It is in Detroit , at least for a few more days! I am hoping to have the car back home in Ct. next week.
This Charger was purchased this year at the Mopar Nats by the family I bought it from. It was brought to The Nats by a Wisc. used car dealer who took it in trade from a gentleman that traded it in on a 2008 Charger.
As I was told, the car was in Wisc. The guy who owned it had it, had the body work done (with Bondo) and painted some time in the early 80's. The original engine was rebuilt around the same time. The car was put away and sat until a year or so ago. The owner then put headers, complete exhaust with correct tips, new fuel tank, fuel lines and brake lines and sometime after traded it in.
The car is matching numbers. the engine, trans and rear are correct as are most of the components. The car came with the original (and near mint ) broadcast sheet. The car is nearly complete and missing only a few things. The interior is pretty decent with basically seat seam rips. The undercarriage is solid with only a few holes in the floors a small hole (dime size) in one of the t bar frames. It will need a trunk floor, 1/4 panels and some other various body panels in the future.
I plan on getting it home, insuring it, registering it and driving it while the weather is decent. It will be a great car to go to cruise nights with.
I am super excited! I have wanted a matching number 4 speed R/T since I was 13 ( I will be 47 in a week)!

That is awesome that it worked out for you.    I recently was sick in the brain and thought about selling my dream car that it took 15 years to find...  I'm good now.

Awesome story!  CONGRATS!
