    I am the lucky winner
    « on: December 11, 2007 - 07:26:50 PM »
    well after months of shopping around the very car that made me join this website will soon be sitting in my driveway.  back in october i ran across this thread http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=27113.0 i had to join the website in order to see the pics.  since i joined i figured id post in cars wanted and see if i could come up with something closer even though i really liked this car.  i did recieve a number of respectable offers for cars from my post and i thank those who responded.  to make a long story short something kept bringing me back to this car and one month after i saw it on this website i made a deal to buy it.  a snowstorm kept me from picking this car up myself up a couple weeks ago as planned so in the end i just decided to pay to have it transported.  so come about the 30th of the month santa will be bringing me a late present. i owned a couple of challengers when i was a teen in the 80s and am looking forward to having one as a daily driver in my small town.  especially after that bad boy is panther pink hehe

    Congratulations!  Where in WI do you live?  Hopefully someplace near me.  It would be nice to see another E body on the road once in a while.

    Congratulations on the recent purchase! :Cheers:  As mentioned, what part of Wisconsin are you from?  I go to school in the far southwestern tip of the state (UW-Platteville) near Dubuque, IA, but live up in the northeastern tip of the state (Florence) by the MI border.  It'd be really cool if you were close to the Florence area as there definitely aren't a lot of E-bodies, or vintage MoPars for that matter, up there.

    We actually got our black Lab puppy (named Cuda) in Mauston.  I hope I can stop in at the Bumper to Bumper when we get through that way again.  Best of luck with the restoration.  Looks like you have alot to work with, so that car should be really nice.

    Woohooo, like 4 Wisconsinites in one thread!   :rofl:

    Congrats, maybe I can stop in next year on the way to Carlisle?  (If I go)  You'd be right on the way!   :wave:

    I cant wait to see that wide chrome and pinstripes.  Which brings me to another question, all original?  Big block?  What are the plans?  Would be sweet to get two Hemi orange 71's next to each other...   :2thumbs:

    when i started out looking for a project car i actually didnt care if it had a motor or not since i have a friend i could get a 440/727 off of fairly cheap.  after some consideration ive decided im gonna put a 360 in there.  a customer of mine has one with a couple spun bearings i can pretty much have for nothing.  i really had my heart set on painting whatever i ended up with fm3 pink.  with a white vinyl roof and white stripes.  id like to duplicate the black stripe thats on there with white but in the end i may just go black roof black stripe.  last few days ive been sorta torn thinking maybe i should keep the car the original color and trim and try to keep the car close to stock. except for those wire wheel covers.  what sorta fella orders a cool looking car like that and then puts wire wheel covers on it?
