I am floating on air. It hasn't really sunk in that I bought it yet, though.
I will believe it when the trailer arrives and I see her get backed out. I can't wait to drive her.
On a side note, I got a call from Mike (the son of the owner) ,who i had talked to about buying the car, while I was in the Detroit airport running for my return flight. He just wanted to call and make sure that I was happy with the car and that he had accurately described the car! This family has been great to work with and were extremely honest about the car's description. It was a very enjoyable buying experience!

My new Charger is on its way. It should be here in about an hour. I will post new pics if it isn't dark when it gets here. I already got insurance and a temporary reg. plate.im hoping to take it for a spin tonight.

My Charger arrived at 7:15 or so. By the time it got unloaded it was getting too dark to take any pictures. I will take some tomorrow.
I got the Charger into the driveway and I pulled the car seat out of the wife's 'Cuda and put it in the Charger. I took the family out for a cruise. It was fun! the car sounds great, rides smooth and the engine runs great and pulls hard. I need to pull the shifter out to be rebuilt. it is REALLY sloppy ( I was aware of this ). I have another complete shifter I will put in to use until this one is rebuilt. I forgot what it was like to drive a manual steering car. Its a little tough at low speeds but pretty good when moving. I think I am going to try to get an alignment tomorrow. The car pulls a little to the left.
I am thrilled with the way the car runs. There are a few small things that need to be fixed or adjusted. I will pick away at the little things a little at a time while I am driving it and enjoying it.

Good score! Btw, I grew up in Clinton Twp, MI and my parents still live there.

It has been a crazy few days. I finally got a chance to resize some photos of my new R/T. I got the car registered yesterday. I took my 15 year old with me. He loves the car. I am getting used to the car but I did do a little bit of seeing what she will do. The car runs really strong. I need to have the shifter rebuilt. It is really sloppy and it is tough to know if you are in 1st or 3rd. I banged second gear yesterday and the shift knob came off in my hand! I luckily had another one and I switched it out today.The clutch seems a little stiff and chatters when starting off. I will have to look into what is causing it. The Z bar looks like the bushing on the bellhousing side is either worn out or missing. There is a bunch of little stuff that is easy to fix. I am planning on picking away at all the little things that need adjustment or repairs while I drive it and enjoy it.
Here are some pictures. Enjoy!
