Hello from freezing Finland!
I got my first Mopar just recently
Found it from CA, Sacramento area and shipped overseas. It is 1970 Challenger project car which hasn't been running for 25 years. Solid body, just small areas in co-driver footwell and behind rear wheels need new sheet metal. Frame is also good, only surface rust. Previous owner had unfortunately passed away so I don't have info about the car's history. It is LA built car so could have stayed in CA whole time. It was originally 318+727, now 440+727.
This forum has been helpful already and very interesting to read. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions during the build. I have also watched the YouTube channel where Dylan McCool works his Challenger. That's about the same "level" work that I'm planning to do.
I'm excited to start the build
Thanks for the good forum!

When you get it thawed out.
How about some pictures of you find.
I took the ign plugs out and squirted some acetone+ATF into cylinders. Seller said that the engine is not stuck, so I have high hopes and fingers crossed. I'll let it cook a week or two before trying to turn it.
