very true,my 1st car was a 68 charger,it was 9 years old  i traded my 10 speed bike for it,car was a worn out rust bucket
Considering what kind of shape these old cars were 40 years ago it is almost miraculous any survived to be restored until today.

I took a look at my seats to see if I could get them to fold over as the 2 door seats do. The seat back is bolted to the base with 4 bolts. Removing the lower bolt allows the seat to pivot forward. With this in mind I am going to investigate the possibility of using the Challenger seat latch system to secure the seat back. I  am only going to invest in one setup for the passenger side as this is all that I think would be necessary for the occasional back seat passenger.

Sweet!  I was thinking something similar, but don't have the actual front seat to do this on.  I do think that modern challenger seats would be more applicable though.

Good find, but I am going to wait and hit up some of the salvage yards later this summer.  There are loads of challengers out there, and I bet quite a bit will end up in some type of accident.

something to consider with challenger seats, up through 2010, the drivers seat doesn't have a latch to lean it forward to allow access to the back seat, the passenger side does but not the driver seat.  To do so you have to push the electric seat back button and slowly wait for it to move forward.  I think this may have changed in 2011 or 12, but not sure.

I tried that method with my SRT seats. The electric motor will push the seat almost into the steering wheel but you still can't get by it to get into the back seat. You have to get a tilt seat to get by. One on the passenger side would suit me. Unless you are planning to use it as a family car that should be sufficient access.
