Sounds like a good builder for a good person. :2thumbs:
Eric has emailed me and we will make arrangements to pick up the door tomorrow or Wednesday morning so I can deliver it to Hayward Wednesday. I mapquested the address in Hayward and it is a mile off the freeway. I drive through Hayward on the way to our companies office. I should have it there by 10AM Wednesday.

I spoke to the owner of the challenger I am interested in. He did not have the car with him but remembered the first few numbers of the VIN. He gave me JH23N1. He believes the car was made in Michigan. I looked at a VIN decoder and the H meant high price level and the N was 383-4. He said the only rust he is aware of is a small area in the trunk. He did have a small fender bender in the car 25 years ago before he parked it in his garage. The hood is bent down slightly in the center front lip. The grill is gone, it busted up and he no longer has the pieces. He said the headlight buckets, radiator support, and inner fenders are just fine with no damage.
Wow Scott,

Thanks for the update buddy. :woohoo: I am over the moon, thanks heaps for everything so far.........old mate :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

I agree with Alan, the Challenger sounds like a good solid builder.............  you are correct about the Vin code, it is a pretty rare car with only 520 built with a 383-4.  Would be a great score.  And if it turns out to be the A78 coded formal roof car it would be even rarer. Sounds like a car to chase up for sure. :2thumbs:

Thanks TC,

For all your behind the scenes work in helping me out aswell.  Would not have happened without your suggestions, come to think of it it all started back when you bought that Australian Shultz gun :smilielol: :2thumbs:

Yeah looking back at it all we went from an E bay guy who didn't take Paypal so you stepped in and paid him for me till my $ showed to you for the red Shutz gun and wand I bought. Then you asked me if I could help you. So I posted an ad in Craigslist for a door for you.

Farmer dude calls me with one at $250 but is so busy cropping he slows up. Finally pics from him. So I told Kenny to check in with Eric to see if he knew any way of getting it down this way. And you end up with what you wanted from him and saved a bunch of money too. It all worked out great.  :2thumbs:

Your Welcome.

I did see your post, and  as I told Eric today, my wife is trying to give me a bit of a reality check. All hope is not lost though. I know the owner fairly well, he would really like to keep the car and is not trying to sell it. He did tell me that he would not be able to touch it himself for another 7 - 8 years. He can be persuaded if I came in with a decent offer which may take more time than I wanted.

The door was delivered to Interglobal Logistics.

You should see some of the cars they ship overseas. I saw 3 General Lee Chargers, a 1970 numbers matching 440 6pack Challenger, many other muscle cars and sports cars.
