    Here you go...as far as option I will let the tags speak for themselves. No the CHallenger was still a four speed when I got it, the picture shows it without the handle. You guys also wanted stories, ok here goes

    Challenger- I bought this when I was 19 (now I am 23). I sold a orange 70 Challenger 318 converted to a 383 car to buy it. I bought it without motor but everything else was still there. No the car is not a shaker car even though I wish it was ( I am going to put one on it). The car came out of Dallas, TX new and was still there when I saw an add on the internet for it. I paid $6700 for which at the time I thought it was a lot of money to give for the car. College got i the way of finishing the restoration but now that I am out and have a good job it will progress rapidly in the next year.

    'Cuda- I bought this car 3 weeks ago. I was working out of town and saw a add for 'Cuda parts (add attached). So, I called and started talking about what parts he had and I asked him to give me a price for everything he said it would be expensive so we talked more and I asked again. That is when he said the parts were on a convert (I was like  :worship:) and he said $2,000 for everything. So I told the people I am was working with that I was leaving early. I went home grabbed my trailer and hauled my butt to the guys house.

    They are still out there

    My eyes about jumped out of my head when I saw the 'cuda and then I started decoding the fender tag...nevermind being black, black, black and black but it has A/C with a four speed. The information I have found says that Mopar made 68 383 4-speed verts and made 26 verts in black for all engine and tranny combos. So seems to be rare. This is my find of the century.

     :coffee: Guess who I'm thinking about...........pertaining to the vert? There is one probably very humbled Burpin, another Texas boy who would have loved to read that ad,lol. Oh, maybe he did, a day later. Poor Burpin, he has some of the worst luck.  :banghead:
