Looking for a 1970 Challenger

[Pyro273]

Hi team,

Brand new member and I've decided that it's time to for me to replace the 1970 Challenger I had when I was 16 and stupidly sold.

I've tried to locate my original car but I can't find the VIN and the VA DMV won't give me any info on past cars I've registered in the state. I'm willing to PAY to find this car so if anyone has any ideas on how else to track it down please let me know. All I know is that I sold it to a guy in suburban MD (maybe Howard County?) who was a big Mopar guy in the area in 1981/1982.

Baring the miracle above, I am looking for a 1970 that is in need of a pretty decent restoration but the more complete the better but it doesn't need to have the engine and/or transmission. I don't want a basket case(and I've found a few so far) but I can deal with some body panel/floor pan replacement if needed. Target price is 10K -15K and the more numbers that match the better but that's not a hard requirement. Not looking to resell once it's done and plan on doing most of the work myself.

Any ideas?

Welcome to the site from the Motor City! How about some details and a picture of your old car, might help.

Thanks, guys. It was a JHL auto, 2.73 rear burnt orange w/ a burnt orange interior and a white vinyl top. 15" rallye wheels, rallye dash, power windows, light group (I think), am/fm, factory ac. I blew the 383 up and put in a 440. It was optioned like an SE but it wasn't one; just a nicely optioned H code.

I don't have any pictures that I know of but I'm still looking as well. Obviously I really didn't appreciate what I had at the time

Burnt orange is a great color inside and out!
