It`s pretty crusty and scummy looking from sitting for a while but I think it`s a great solid start.I wish I was closer to help with the body work.  :working:

I didn't notice it the first couple times I looked at these photos, but I see the broadcast sheet looks to be complete sitting on the passenger side seat.  Could you post up a photo or two of it and I'll be able to check out the break down of all the options the car came with?  I'd offer to completely decode it, but my book is at home. ::)

Here ya go!!

Awesome!  Thanks Laura! :cheers:  It's cool to see that it too was printed in red ink due to the machine running out of black ink. (My complete broadcast sheet was also printed in red, whereas the dash one was in black.)

It's something how original this car has stayed all these years.  A lot of the codes I recognized on the broadcast sheet still appear on the car. (like the 14" wheel covers that most would have scrapped in the '80's for Cragar SS's or Vector style rims.)  It's cool to know this car is unmolested and stood the test of time, well fad-wise.  My poor car had so many deviations from factory it was so nice getting all those items addressed during the rust repair stages.

All of the parts that I am listing are from my Challenger and aren't much in the scheme of things, but if any are needed and would help just let me know.

4 Window cranks, black spacers and screws.
T handle shifter.
Chrome trim for hood and trunk.

Wish that I had more to offer.

I also meant to tell Rev that I sent another e-mail to Legendary using another contact form, so hopefully I get a response within the next couple days. :2thumbs:  I'll let you know if they are willing to help us out. :thumbsup:

Do you think that it may help if everyone on the site attaches their e-signature to the e-mail ??? We could get an e-mail forwarding from one member to another. We would have to have a commitment list to pull the next addressee from. This would be a list of people that have committed to  be waiting for the e-mail, so that it doesn't get hung up. Final addressee would be Challenged. Do you think that this may persuade them a little more once they see all of those customers. I could add the copies of my invoices over the years.

Here is a left front fender if we need it.  Bad thing, it has to be picked up in New Jersey.  How bad is the other one?

Or maybe a RALLY HOOD from the same seller?

Not bad at all!  I do see the problem with the fender too, LOL.  Are you going to keep the 318 in it?  If so I can send over a 4bbl manifold and carb.  I am not sure if I still have the old headers but if so I can clean them up and paint them with the por15 maifold silver paint.  How are the tail lights?  If any are broken let me now, as I have an extra set too.

OK everyone!!  We need to get this car to Ohio from Georgia . . is there anyone that can help??   :dunno:  Once it makes it to Ohio, I will drive down from Michigan and evaluate the situation and see if we can move this along.  Rev-it-Up has done a great job with the money and purchasing end of it but its time for some of us to take over and see if we can make this happen!     :grinyes:   :thumbsup:

I really wanted to be a part of this project, but I don't think I'm going to be able to make it happen. I'm in the middle of buying a house, which is going to take most of my free time through the end of May, and after that it will be too late for me to add much. If I had a truck and a trailer I'd haul it up to Ohio, but I don't think my Hyundai is up to that task  :eek4:

I can throw some cash at the problem (for gas?). I can get some parts if they're findable and contribute that way. If it turns out that the car is still in Georgia in June I can help someone with a truck move it, although I think that would be pretty disastrous for the timeline.
