It looks like you have a very nice car to work with. Do you have any idea as to what your going to do with it? leave it stock or modify it?

Looks like a good starting point for sure clown!   :bananasmi

It looks as though it should have the side trim too, no?

What was the original color?


Now I see where Foose got the idea for Goody's Dad's stripe   :lol2:

Thanks guys and also I want to thank all the people that I have hounded trying to find a challenger.
As far as what the final car will be,I haven't decided on that yet.It does need some work,but is way more solid than my other challenger.Which mean's I will be breaking down the yellow challenger of all the good parts and also the purple barracuda(need room)And since the 71 has most of it's parts,I will be selling off a lot of 70 only parts that I have been collecting up.My wife is a saint when it comes to me and my cars,but she knows that it makes me happy.I am hoping to go pick the 71 up next saturday and bring her home to the Clown's workshop.The guy that owned it decided to take a break from his cars for a while.I need the weather to warm up a little so I can remove all of my parts stashes and lay them out and figure what I am gonna need and what will go up for sale?So if your in need of structure parts (frame rails,roof's and such) keep your eye's open in the for sale section.---The Clown

moparclown, I'm still sitting on the fence with the '71 I found a few weeks back , triple green 318 auto a/c car. He still has it, but I need a place to store it right now and I don't want to leave it outside. Working on a storage place at my sister-in-laws garage. Good luck with your new project.....

Hey vinb
I was wondering wether you bought it?And as far as space goes,I have none.The 69 cuda is in the garage until the weather gets better,the 70 barracuda parts car is covered up behind the garage,the dart is in front of the garage and the yellow 70 challenger is covered up on the dolly in the driveway.I am hoping to start tearing the two 70's apart in the next couple of weeks,I dont want the town to get mad at me for having all of this stuff around.It will be a big spring cleanup this year.
