Hey folks..just trailered back from Alabama a rust free 70 Challenger...l had already bought a southern one but it needed a roof skin and quarters like many do..it has good floors rockers and the rest of the body is good....but when l found this rust free car (in a million pieces) that has been off the road since 1973 it took me 3 seconds to contact the guy and get it bought..l imported it to Canada..not sure about the other Challenger however ..parts car?? But that one is complete running and looks as though never been apart...hmm got something to think about..

No way will l harm this lovely Mopar shell...no rust anywhere although hood and fender were damaged and replaced..the first one l bought might be a parts car but even it is very nice..

Oh ya thought l would mention...l stated earlier that it was completly rust free...l shouldve known better than to open my trap before it was stripped and blasted..l will say this..the body is over 9 on a scale of 1 to 10...l am extremely happy with what l have to work with ...it isnt "rust free" boy but pretty damn close...
