WANTED TO BUY: 1972 or 73 340 4-speed or auto RALLYE Challenger in BRIGHT GOLD w/black vinyl top. Prefer broadcast sheet, matching numbers, but also will consider upgraded engine with clean car. Also would like no rust or excellent condition. I'm not looking for a parts car, or rust-buckets...
Years back, before the EPA/DNR made general public paint reformulation mandatory into the water-based crap they have now, Krylon had a great semi-flat black aerosol can paint. Matched organosol perfectly. Since it became discontinued, Krylon has sneakily made the same product but under a...
