Hello fellow mopar enthusiast! I have recently purchased a 1973 Dodge Challenger. Although it is a very well kept car it is in need of some restoration. Mostly electrical and interior. Hopefully this forum will help me to get things I need as well as some insight on repairs as my automotive skills need help. I look forward to this.

Thanks. Here are a couple of pics from dealership where I bought it.

It is a Gateway Motors in Lavergne Tennessee. It was a large indoor facility with a boatload of awesome classics for sale. I found my ride on ClassicCars.com I originally was just browsing around. I was looking for when I retire from work the next 4 years. I was smitten and decided to go for it now in case retirement years are too lean to make the move. Glad I did.

Welcome from mid Mich. Great looking Challenger, I like that color blue. Is it originally a southern car? Nice early retirement present!

Yes I bought the car from a dealership by Nashville Tennessee. It is an early retirement car. I still have around 4 more years to go but I would like to somewhat restore it. Don't want it too perfect though.

My quote to others who are on the fence about buying something is, "Don't wait to have fun." None of us know when our last day on Earth will be or if we will even make it to retirement. Don't wait - life is short. I'm glad you pulled the trigger on that my Mopar friend!

I love those wheels on it!

Welcome from WY. Nice ride! I definitely agree with enjoying life in the "now" whenever possible!
