I came across this 70 Challenger I found in phoenix a few weeks back.
I was putting together to make a Survivor driver out of it.
It has the Orig #'s 383 Engine with 4 speed Trans
Previous Owner pulled engine to paint compartment and sanded pass stripe off and did Dutchman & trunk pan said he lost shop so had to sell.
Story was it sat for years from 1st owners son passing then finally sold.
The rest is solid underneath. Still has Orig Dodge exhaust & mufflers on it.
He laid Engine back in and didn't hook any accessories up. that's how i bought it.
Tank was out and cleaned, He had Carb, Exhaust, pulleys, belts, rad, bumpers, all disconnected.
Rear shocks were missing. Front and rear valance half installed.
Not vinyl top car, pervious owners fixed roof dent.
So far i did
New mini Starter, " was kicking out" decided new one was needed.
Alternator was painted blue and not charging so replaced, with voltage Reg,
New Cap, rotor, plugs, points ,has a set of wires, New fuel filter, fuel pump & tank Sender installed, gauge now works.
Installed New rear shocks & rear exhaust hangers.
Now Running and moving,
Orig Bumpers were Rechromed & installed.
Found NOS 383 magnum emblems for hood ordered, were missing
one challenger fender emblem ordered, half missing broke
Have New Windshield and rear glass in box.
Next is Dash install & Windows.
Plan is to order New white R/T stripe kit for pass side. Paint Roof, below bodyline stripe area & polish the rest. keep as much Orig as i can.
I think he never should have sanded stripe off he said the same thing, he had plans on painting entire car was body man.
