MAJOR score yesterday - '72 Challenger

[73ChargerSE]

Hey guys,

Thought I'd share this with you.  I call a guy about an 8 3/4" yesterday and after some decided I told him I wasn't interested in it while still on the phone.  He then says to me "well, if you like Mopars, my sister has a Challenger that she wants to sell"  I say to him, "oh, how much does she want for it?" 

Get this. $1,500.

I almost leapt out of my chair.  I had to go to class an hour later, but I called her up to come check out the car before class. 

When I went and looked at it I decided it was the car for me.  Did some scrounging for money after class, and this followed me home:



I plan on keeping this car, as I have wanted one since I was a kid.  Never thought I'd find one this cheap.  Plans are to get it running and drive as-is for a while. I'll have more pictures as the car progresses.

Can't beat that.   318 car or 340?

[rave_12000]

now you need air shocks, leg pipes, and hood scoop.  good to see a good catch.

Can't beat that.   318 car or 340?

Judging from the flat hood and convetional gas cap, I'd say 318, although it could have been swapped over the years. Sure sits low.

[Brads70]

great deal there!

[chargd72]

Amazing deal!  Did it come with a title?

[73ChargerSE]

Yes, car has a title and everything.  Got the car running on starter fluid a bit earlier.  I have to make another fusible link for it as the one in it is toast, luckily we've got some link wire at the shop.  I'll post a video when it's running on its own.

I think it's about time something like that happened to me.
Good score.

  Great score    good luck on the rustoration...

[ACUDANUT]

Great deal. Hows the frame look ?

[73ChargerSE]

Frame looks perfect.  Looks like the only rust is in the bottom of the quarters behind the wheel well. 

[TruckDriver]

Wish I'd find a steal like that just once. Cool! 

[Iceyone]

Nice price. We had a 74 body for sale around here recently going for over $6K.

[greenpigs]

See they are still around....course you found it & we didn't.

Congrats & good luck with it!

[HalfastJav]

Nice, keep it or turn n burn. Like my Bro always says... never fall in love with anything. Its all for sale.

I picked up a (mostly) rust free 68 Mustang Fastback from a co-worker for $1,000  and promptly sold it for 8g's in two weeks. Thanks fORd....
