Well, I've seen her more in the last two years on ebay than in all the years she left me in '95 with the trade of my former '68 Hemi Charger R/T which has lead to the orange thing in my avatar..  :icon_smile_big:

Some of it's accurate, some not..

Nice car! I wonder if the left rear has had some repair work, looks like the valance corners are filled in on left side but not on right.
You ever regret selling it?

Good eye.. It was done by me... There was some former body work there when I got it. It was a dent. The other side was fine, hence the joint isn't filled in.. The paint job was done back in, like '86.... I'm sure there's been some touch up's here and there. I know for a fact someone after me replaced the trunk floor pan and repainted it..

Regarding any regrets on trading it, naaaa.... I do miss the heck out of the car, but all-and-all, I've done pretty good for myself. The traded this car for my hemi Charger. I only had about $3000 invested in the '70 pretty much the way you see it and then in turn, only about $27,000 - $30,000 in the hemi car and that in turn, lead to my Daytona... I was hoping to make my current '70 v-code Charger R/T look like this one, but unless something happens, I'll be selling it...

This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

That is one beautiful car.  :drool5:

Yeap,, it is.. I preferred the Ralleys I had on it though.......

Here's when she was still my daily driver when I just joined the active duty Air Force back in '87... Then, the other is when I had my 1st '68, then a 318 '69 and finally, just after I got the '70 before the resto...

Some other memory picks.. The '70 was still my daily driver. This is the day I picked up Whitey from her original owner prior to me fixing the rear spoiler pedestal brackets and replacing the vinyl top.  That was a very good day..
