Super excited to have recently purchased a 1970 Challenger Convertible that's in solid condition for an amazing price. The car is a bit of a basket case but came with tons of parts with which to put it together and get it on the road, including a shaker hood and all associated shaker parts.
The drivetrain is a 383/727 and supposedly the 383 only has 11,000 miles on a rebuild. My plan is to see if the engine is functional/runnable and maybe ok to get the car drivable in the short term, but I will eventually be putting a 440 in the car. I will be doing all the mechanical/functional work on the car but I'm not a body/paint guy so I will farm that out.
I am not new to the mopar scene, I had a '68 charger with a 383 and then a '70 440 challenger in high school (early 1980's) and that's when I fell in love with mopar BB power. My daily driver is a Dodge Durano R/T. I look forward to jumping in with both feet, asking questions and learning and maybe sharing some knowledge of my own along the way.
