    « on: September 14, 2008 - 09:07:24 PM »
    Ive always loved all Mopars,but these are my favorites.I just got this 70- 318- colum shift- bench seat Challenger off an old buddy from highschool.The cars been sitting in his garage since 92.He put a fresh 340 in it,355 posi,and a brand new 727 trans(which I have to install).He started patching the floor and firewall but lost intrest.So I got it.Im not sure what it worth but I think I got a good deal.Im gonna keep it original except for the 340.Im gonna need alot of help since Ive always been a Chevy guy.I still have my Z28 race car,but this will be my cruiser.Here are some pics.What do ya think???

    Welcome to the forum.  My original 70 was a column shift with a bench seat.  Not a bad deal.  Yours looks like a great project.  Keep us posted with pics.

    Thanks guys! Im just gonna keep it a nice cruiser.I WANT to keep it,but with this Michigan economy if offered the right price I might let it go.For now Im gonna make it a nice cruiser for fun.I cant take my racecar anywhere.Thats what the Challenger will be for.The only thing I really need is a front bumper.The rest is just labor,which I will do.Oh and a colum shifter set-up.He had a Megashifter floor shift in it.I took that out already.He gave me a ton of parts Im not even going to use.Im leaving it the way it is.

     :ylsuper:  Welcome to the Mopar Family!  Your Challenger looks very solid.  I think that once you get it all done, you'll keep your e-body even though you're a chevy guy.  Great to see another Michigander join the site!

    They look like regular Magnum 500s. They could be found on any of a variety of mopars from around 67 until 74.

    Welcome, btw. Nice car to start with.
