Well, I drove 11 hours up to Wisconsin to take a peek with cash in hand.
Honestly, it probably had the cleanest floorpans and trunk I have seen in this "price class"  The cowl wan near perfect, the duthcman was perfect, all the glass was paerfect, the parts car hood was perfect.
Now for the ugly in order of importance.
The frame was bent. It was kinked up at the cowl, and dinged just past the A arm on the frame rail. (side)
The car had tons of condensation rust, and needed new rear quarters, doors, front fenders, a new grille panel, possibly a front passenger wing, and some heavy fab work on the lower A-pillar splash-cowl intersection.
Engine was sitting for 21 years, but it matched. It needed to be torn apart to be saved.
The interior was infested with rodents, but good door panels, Center console,  front and rear and IP.
right rear wheel was locked up.
She had an offer for 5200, and I advised her to go with that offer.
Let me remind you, this was the real deal - a true 4 speed non rally 340/4 barrell car.
My search continues..
Please keep an eye out.
Where in WI was it?

Spring Valley Wisconsin.
Yeah, 5200 for a bent rusted, mice eaten, frozen engine Challenger is a little steep in my book. 4 speed on no speed.

Anyone want her number?
