Good morning all thanks for having me. I've read a lot of posts and it seems ther ar a lot of knowledge in this group. I currently building a 1970 challenger, sublime green. It's an original 383 four barell car.
It has an amazing story, never been hit, and I purchased it from the original owner for 500 dollars, including the postage stamp pink slip.
The car was stolen from the owner and later recovered by the police back in the mid 70's onley to discover the theef stole the moter. The owner loved the car so much she went out and purchased a second 1970 brown 383 challenger priorto the recovery. The police asked her if she wanted to keep the car back in the 70's and she decided to keep it incase her second one had an issue.
The car sat in the desert for fifty years, before I stumbled upon it. I think the now elderly lady just took a liking to me and wanted the car to go to a good home. I explained I wanted to build the car with my two sons.
She started she need to speak with her husband when he got home from work. As she walked me around the large property and showed me her brown 70 challenger, which was in beautiful original condition. I saw several other mopars. A couple Dusters and several engines. I knew then her husband would never agree to let me purchased this challenger. We exchanged information and went separate ways.
A week later she called me and told me she would sell the car. As fast as I could I ran over and paid her what she asked for the car 500.00 dollars.
Still to this day I'm sure she probably only sold me the car to spite the husband who I nevermet. That car was her original purchase and she wanted to sell it to see it live again.
