    Welcome to cc.com!!  Sound and looks like a sweet car and I would love it too!  Red interior would be pretty rare I would think with a black exterior!  I'm glad you joined us and post often.  Lots of great information here!!   :thumbsup:

    Thank you for all your kind words. Its a alright car but it really needs a resto and alot of sheetmetal work. It was restored in the early 90's and was a really really rusty. The previous owner ( a family friend)said it should of been a parts car, but he saved it from death. I purchased the car from him when he got the car returned to him because a drug dealer bought the car from him and never transfered the title. He got the car impounded and went to jail. Well he signed all of his rights over to the car and i purchased it. Its still kinda a wreck (from what i want it to be) but i am going to put in the work. The interior is shot and same with the engine bay (please forgive they are terrible). I have been waiting for repro sheet metal and to get some funds together for the resto. The drug dealer trashed this car and even drove it through two winters. I am slowly gathering parts and even scored a 72 challenger for $25.00 for some pieces that are not repo. So thank you all for the kind words.  :thumbsup:
