Would Burpin have picked up the back half of the car to help get it loaded on the trailer?? Is he offering his services again??

4C, as much as I would love to see all E bodies saved, this one would take too much to save IMO, besides I am leaving the state in about a year, and am going to be taking my 3 70 Cudas with me. I only have space for the 3, as I have a 3 place car trailer coming up to get them. Its gonna be hard enuf to get those outta here along with the other E body parts that I have accumulated over the years.

70 style Challenger doors(2), fenders(4) and interior parts
72 style Challenger fenders(3) (I was into Challengers for awhiile!)
73 style Cuda parts on top of it all
K frames, front ends, rear ends, axle housings, axles, sway bars, bumpers, etc!

The biggest problem with this stuff is the fact that the bigger items dont ship well from Alaska! Shipping costs would be sky high! BTW, have I said that cars that are originally from here don't have any real rot from rust. The state does not use any salt on the roads up here in the winter! Thats why this car is in such good shape on the bottom.

Awe, poor, poor little 'Cuda. :'( :'( :'( :cry:  Here I thought this was one of your project cars, too, but after those pics I can see why it's going to be a donor for another fortunate E-body. :beer:  Actually, I think this thing looks to be in better shape than the '69 Charger I was going to attempt to restore....The rear end parts were still intact, if that's what you'd call it. :wasted:
1973 Dodge Challenger......................The ongoing project. (00/----\00)
1991 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin-Turbo....The sunny day cruiser (RTBoost)
1990 Toyota Celica GT Liftback...........The new daily & winter driver.
All-American Muscle: 'Cudas and Challengers...Still the Elite and always will be.

SC73, I have to figure out how to best disassemble this car frame to utulize the parts to the fullest and to help the most cars!
Front frame rails are great!
All floors are good to great!
Roof is ok!
Inner fenders are ok!
Cowl is great!
That doesnt leave much that is not good!

If anyone has some suggestions as to how to best disassemble this car, I would greatly appreciate it!
