Wanted: 1970 - 71 Challenger

[RexDub]

Hello, I am currently searching for my first E Body, and my favourite car is a 1970 Challenger. I'm looking for a project car preferably because I would appreciate the car even more if I did it myself so if you have one for sale or know of one that is available please send me a PM or email me at rexwhiteway@live.com
Thanks for your time.

There are a few here on the board.

 

[RexDub]

I've been trying to get a hold of people but either they don't respond, sell the car, or are a bit to far out of my price range.

 

[challenger6pak]

Then what are your parameters? How much do you want to spend?

 

[RexDub]

6500 is probably my max (I'm looking for a project)

 

[challenger6pak]

I have seen a few R/T's that need restored go in that range. The trick is to wait and buy the most valuable car, when restored, you can afford now. When you find one, post it up. People here will let you know if it is a good deal or not.

 

[RexDub]

Thanks, It's just so tough to find one for a decent price in Canada... Everyone gets a fat head when it comes to Mopars here.

 

[challenger6pak]

It's that way everywhere. You just have to have cash waiting and move on the right car. With patience you will find a good car. Just don't be too hasty and get a bad deal. I wish you luck in your search.

 

[RexDub]

Anyone?

 

[challenger6pak]

A real project; but worthwhile. If you are going to do a car it might as well be a rare one. This has documantation and the fender tag. Two things that add to the cars value. If I had the extra cash I would go after this one.

I sent him a message and I'll see thanks so much! ... what does "v" code mean?

 

[RexDub]

Nevermind V is a real 440 Original Six pack car right? sick Im going to try for this!

 

[RexDub]

Ya he's not moving on that price at all.. I mean It's bid is 3000 but hes not selling less then 10000... ha..

Try for it only if you are willing to spend a lot to redo it or if you are willing to weld it up and restore it. It is a real project. I would request far more pics than what is posted. I have seen a rusty fire wall be anything from a rust hole to no firewall. Everything it seems to need is available in reproduction parts. Just be cautious on it. Make sure you want to bite off a large chunk like this one. I wasn't thinking about it too much when I posted it for you. I have done many ebodies and it does not seem as bad as it would if I had not done a lot of them. I don't want to get you in over your head.

 

[challenger6pak]

We posted at the same time. It is worth $10,000 if the buyer redoes the car himself. You can easily spend $15,000 to make it decent. $25,000 buys a decent 383 car. At $10,000 to purchase it, someone may not loose money on the car if they were to resell it done.

 

[RexDub]

Thing is, I'm a young guy, Don't have the greatest job, and not a lot of back up on this. I can't afford 10000..

 

[challenger6pak]

He does not have a reserve. It will be interesting to see what it goes for. It will be tough to find a 70 in your price range that does not need a lot of work. You can find a 72-74 in that price range that is decent.

 

[RexDub]

I dont care how much work it is

Here is a real project. Its mine. If you're not interested in 100% accurate restoration I also have a complete disassembled 71 340 and torqueflite I'd be willing to make a deal on with the car. In all honesty the car needs a lot of work but its well worth restoring.

That would be a nice car done. It is an A66 package car. From what I see it was lime green with white interior, white vinyl top, white bumblebee stripe, and R/T style hood. If you were in Florida I would be after it. That would be a sweet daily.
