aboard. Much fun ahead.
Welcome aboard from Wisconsin! Your thread reminds me of when I sold my 70 440 SixPack Challenger to an Aussie from near Sydney. (the one in my avatar) He bought it in November 2012 and I don't think he got it until February 2013. I remember it went to California where is spent a few weeks before getting loaded into a container. Then spent a month on the ocean before reaching Sydney where is was in quarantine for another few weeks before he could pick it up. I remember it was a nightmare for him. When he did pick it up it was filthy dirty with a dead battery because some idiot left the ignition switch on. Ruined a new red cap Mopar battery in the process.Thanks for the welcome!
You'll have to bear with me for a while I'm afraid. She's on her way over by ship. So it'll be awhile before I get her into my shed. I can't wait to get stuck into the 383, when that's re-built that sweet rumble ...
Dodge badge and scoop inserts were not installed prior to shipping - so not stolen.Glad your car finally made it home. Appears to have taken about the same length of time as my old car did to Sydney. I see from the picture that your car is missing the Dodge script on the hood as well as the scoop inserts. Were they missing to start with? I was just wondering since my car left with the hood scoop inserts intact but somewhere along the trip got stolen as they never made to Sydney.
Anyway....Good luck with your new toy. The only other thing I noticed is you may want to spray a little satin black paint on the core support behind the grille.
