My new donor car
« on: December 02, 2009 - 06:03:58 PM »
I have been trying to buy this car for 2 years now and finally landed it. Its a 72 340 rallye car with a build sheet. The good news is that it is a totally complete car ( non numbers 70 340 engine no tranny). The bad news is that it has more issues such as front frame rails that were hacked and quarter and rocker rot that make it more of a parts car. I wanted it because when I took my car apart ( in over my head challenger in resto sect.) nothing was bagged or tagged and 5 years later I am struggling figuring out where things go. This car will be used for reference for now and then parted out in the near future. Here are some pics, hope they work.

What? ya mean I'm supposed to label stuff when I take it off...haha

I got the same problem - big pile of chrome and interior panels - not to scared of that. When I rip apart the dash is when I'll start to get worried :)

Congrats looks like a pretty nice car in itself.  Would be cool to find a donor car that good.   :2thumbs:

Keep me in mind when you start parting it out - I see a few pieces I could use if you don't need them (bumpers, maybe teh header panel)
