Reunited!!!

[MadScientist]

Hi all,

Been awhile since Ive prowled around here due to family obligations, etc., but I had to let you know about an addition to the family that finally came home.  A while back, Chris let me know about a car on ebay that was "related" to my currently listed vehicle (a 70 500 383 4spd, FC7, luggage rack car).  Of course being a typical Mopar junkie (ie most have more than one car) I picked it up.  This one was identical in every way to my FC7 car except it is EV2 and had C6XA seats (the other car has C5XA).  Not only that, but the VIN was only different in the last digit.  FC7 car was 1XX507, the EV2 car was 1XX508!  Anyway, my brother in Denver picked it up for me from NM and has stored it in Denver ever since 2005.  I hadnt seen the car in person until 2 weeks ago!

So here are a pic of the two cars together and in transit.  I can wait to tear into this one!!!

    ......................    its a wonder they wern't both  plumb crazy

From what I can tell from the buildsheet for the FC7 car, it was only off in order sequence by two.  Im thinking a zone office ordered it and then filled out another sheet and changed the color. The wired thing is that the FC7 car had the "500" on the tail panel, but the EV2 car had only the dodge emblem.

 Yep I was, brought my motorhome, did ya' know i got one?..  well i did.. 
there's a few threads, search "Chinook" to find 'em..
welcome back.

Maybe some one nabbed the original Charger 500 emblem

Crap! My son and I looked at your Chinook for about 15 minutes!  He thought it was the coolest thing there ( I liked it too).

As for the 500 emblem, Im at a loss. Its a PITA to switch out just the emblem, so if it did happen, they most likely changed the whole rear trim panel.  Who knows.

I finally had a good look at the body today and its going to need quarters, trunk extensions, drivers door (got one in the sale), and maybe new roof skin (lots of pin holes).  Floors are rock solid.  Im sure a good blast will reveal a whole lot more. 

No buildsheet though.
