THANK YOU Gentlemen!!!
Yes it's a midwest car, well, kind of.....A local used car dealer bought it and had it shipped to Indiana from California. The dealer sold it to this guy 22 years ago, it has not been driven for 10 years. So, my buddy Jim thinks we should put a new fuel cell on it, that might show up today (I HOPE!!!), the brake system was dry as a bone. Jim and his son are going to get the gas tank and the brakes done for me, I might be driving by the first of the week.
  This story has more to it than just a great find. And YES, I do feel like I won the lottery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How the heck do I ever thank Jim for finding this treasure for me?!?!?!?!?!?

 If you knew what I paid for this, you'd poop yourself. I'm curious what you guys think this Challenger is worth?

 Here's where the story gets even better. The guy I bought this from also has a 74 Challenger that he bought new, it's sitting in his garage with 20,000 miles on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll be keeping in touch with him, he says he'll never sell it. I hope to be there if he changes his mind.............................................

  Take care of the v5x side moulding. Hard too find replacements. Had a lot of jerks gouge mine up.

Beautiful.  I love seeing side molding cars since I plan (or at least hope) to keep them on mine; it will even be white with black moldings (sorry, not staying factory green...)
