first E-body

Just picked this sweet hart up the other day, 1970 challenger RT convertible, a real JS car. paint was finished around 2006 and car was never assembled. I got it from and individual that purchased the car from the restorers widow, He had plans to finish it but never happened. I'm in the middle of a suspension and drive line upgrade on a 34 dodge kc truck, but ran across this. figure I'll just stash this for a year and finish the truck

thanks it was born with a 383, brown in color from original restorers pics. Unfortunately no fender tag have to look behind backs of front bucks (which look original) for build sheet the rest has been removed from the car. I'm about an hour west of you just of 94 in grass lake.

I didn’t realize We’re almost neighbors. I have a ‘71 N code Challenger convertible. Here it is just before covering it up for the winter.

very nice, I don't have the fender tag but I did find a few pics of the resto going thru the paper work. guy said it was brown I bought it from. the trunk lip in the photo seems to be either go mango or hemi orange to me looking at the paint chart
