Hi all.
I've been a closet fan of the e-bodies for a long time. My favorite Matchbox as a kid was a 70 Challenger. I remember that because I called it a Camaro and my older brother corrected me. When I got old enough to buy my first car, I couldn't afford/find an E-body, and have played with FMJs, Late Bs, A-bodies and trucks for the last 12 years.
Well, at Carlisle I sold my AutoX car (a Dodge Diplomat) and took that money and plunked it down on a 71 Challenger. Its essentially a rolling chassis that needs a lot of work. Its originally a 318 console auto car w/ a/c. Green w/ black gut.
Front clip is all new with rebuilt suspension. Half of the floor needs welding in, quarters need to be replaced, and at least one of the rear frame rails needs replacing (a PO ran fuel lines through it
)
It comes w/ a lot of spare interior and exterior parts but no engine/trans.
I already know this is going to be a multi-year project (first "resto" a 79 300 that I'm still fixing after it was "done") with a goal of this being a competitive SCCA Solo C-Prepared car that can still be driven to Carlisle.
Looking forward to reading and lurking for the next couple months until I get it transported up here.
