A free 70 challenger conv!

I'm hoping for 75-90K. Depends on what a car of this condition is bringing. But it will be what the market will bare.  I plan to get an accurate appraisal when the car is done. And try to make a reasonable cost from there. The dumb thing is I'm getting attached to it and can't afford to keep it.

 :clueless:  I think Tony told me he was going to work on the Challenger convertible for the Nats before he focused back on this project.  I asked in Carlisle.   :grinyes:

He wrote in another thread that he is still waiting on parts for the Cuda, so he is going to work on the Challenger for now.

The Cuda is on hold for now. Waiting on parts that have been on BO since Feb. :banghead: :pullinghair: Also have to catchup with regular business which leaves little time to work on the Cuda.

I have placed it on cudaworld for sale. Hopefully I can get it sold. Even though I would love to keep the Cuda, It's costs are way beyond my means. My dream is to restore the Challenger conv to look like the one I had in HS.

I'm not sure the Challenger will make it to Nats. I made alot of suspension and brake repairs. Drove it to a local car show. But just not comfortable with its dependability...yet. :working:
