it's a 73 challenger , i was looking for a 70 sixpack charger but this fell into my lap. at an incredible price . the car is in plum crazy bodyshop in Passaic. which is rite around the corner from me.  it's got a great body . the car has been neglected for years but it's in real good shape . it has a 340 in with an 8 1/4 posi rear .  i made a great deal for it with no motor.  I've been picking up 440's for yrs and have 2 73's one is an hp from a trooper car . yep gonna build a 440 challenger . I'm excited!  i know very little about e bodies but I'm learning . check it out . Rene

Car wouldn't be an origional plum crazy car as he said it was a 73 Challenger.

I'm still wondering why he is picking up Challengers, I thought he was after an Alpine White Superbird?


Only poking fun here.

Looks like a good car to just tool around and have some fun with.

That looks pretty nice!
I'd like to see more of what's above it, too. ;D

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

i was in the rite place for ounce. if you can find me a bird for $4000 let me know I'll take ten. this is perfect for my back yard bodyshop . motors are my deal and the body is tight. I'm gonna put a monster 440 in it.

thanks for all the kind words guys . I'm like a kid on Christmas morning  :cheers:
I'm most happy when I'm building something.

Nice score!  If I ever get another Mopar it would really be a toss up between another Charger or a Challenger.

thanks guys . i was just surprised i fit so well in it. i was told by a couple of people that they are very tight inside. i 'm a big guy and it fit me great. I've never driven an e body , can't wait  . i was out there yesterday and i took a batt with me. i got most of the lights working . i believe the other ones are just burnt out bulbs. i was under the car with my flashlight. this car is tight . good floors, bigblock torsion bars, new leaf springs. i can tell some one cared about this car. i wonder what made him give up on it. what a shame . here's some more pics.
