I took it out of the back seat in 1975, The car was purchased new by a 65 year old engineer.. I doubt many people ever sat in the back seat... I spent it's life in filing cabinets... I lost it a few times but always found it... Actually there was a second sheet in pretty good shape that was in the drivers seat...

Power steering car.

What codes can I help you with?

What does all numbers mean on the sheet? Like 41 under Breaks. Can someone tell me if it had discs?

Today the car is FJ5. Probably painted in the early 90s? Havent seen it in real life but Im about to buy it and import to Sweden.

Power Discs, when I sold it  it still had the 10.87 two piece front rotors & original K/H calipers...  It had & I'm almost certain still has the rear springs moved in with the nicest set of custom brackets you'll ever see, tig welded gussets, areas that contact the bushings spot faced on a mill... a B body 8.75 axle that I put under it back in the 80's... Back when I was doing the car repo hood bezels weren't available so the hood pins & bezels are machined out of a solid chunk of stainless, the shape & contours of the outer surface are exactly the same as stock but they are solid stainless.... The car was painted in 88, it's Centari Acrylic Enamel... The seats are covered with Leather from Legendary...  When I sold it it had stock exhaust, now I believe it has flow masters.. I provided the original rear axle, carb & manifold & a few other original parts....  The numbers engine is in the car, when I had the machine shop build it I asked for stock compression with forged pistons... I got a lesson in being more specific.. It's got TRW forged pistons but rather than the 2355 I should have clearly specified the machine shop used  2266's which means the compression ratio is in the mid 8-1 range.... I should have gone through & changed it but never did.... Instead I tried four different cams till I found one that ran pretty strong....... Since I sold the car that cam has been changed... I haven't ridden in the car but I'm willing to bet it doesn't run as well as it did before..  It's an original Cruise Control car & when I sold the car it was all there & worked perfectly.. The A/C was R12 & blowing cold when I sold it, now converted to R134A so I'm assuming it still blows cold... FWIW it is a damn nice Challenger..

that is a DAMN good looking Challenger!!! only $46,500 for a U code in that shape??? seems a bit underpriced, or am I missing something.

It's really odd, the car is rock solid original metal, numbers motor & trans, build sheet, fender tag, second tag got misplaced but I have/had the info.. It is a color change inside & out which does hurt the value but back when it was original colors I could drive it 20 mph faster than a bright red Camaro with my tires billowing smoke & nobody would notice the car... I pecked away at restoring it stock for eight years, then I decided I wanted to change the color & got fired up & the car was done a year later...

When I got my R/T vert I decided to sell the R/T SE to pay for the restoration of the vert.... I marketed the car for three years & got no interest... I sold my red /6 Challenger vert to pay for the restoration of the FJ5 R/T vert... Eventually I sold the R/T SE after 4 years for 15K.....   Three years later the guy I sold it to sold it to the current owner & doubled his money...

This car got a very good history that needs to be preserved! I will make sure it ends up in Sweden! I need all history I can get my hands on. Years, owners, everything! It's very important to me.

Thanks guys! It looks like it is a very nice Challenger R/T SE.

ps. I got a matching JS29N, FE5, V1X so this one will match it good!

[andben]

Deal is on! The car will be picked up this week or next for a long journey to Sweden!

Congratulations on your new purchase.

What does all numbers mean on the sheet? Like 41 under Breaks. Can someone tell me if it had discs?

The 41 is under the "B" codes. B41 is the code for front disc brakes. Next to it is "1" which is "B51" Power Brakes.
The factory only put B51 on the Data Plates.

The easiest way to read the Broadcast Sheet is to read it in Groups. All "A" codes, all "B" codes, etc.
A01 = Light Package
A62 = Rallye Instrument Cluster
etc.

Many Alphabetical Codes will not make sense unless you have studied the factory Options and Accessories reports and available items on specific body models.

An example is C93. Doesn't make sense unless you know that it is a full floor carpet with the heal pad for the driver.
F25 = 70 AMP Heavy Duty battery - Red cap

Many options are associated with a specific "Package". Take a look at the "L" section. Many of the lights are with the A01 Light Package option.

If you would like further assistance, please e-mail me.

Do you have any pics of it from the "old good times" ? Before resto or under resto in the 80's?

That would be appreciated!
