I'm happy to find another resource to help me sort out my 1974 Challenger.
My car has had quite a history, and once I get all my facts straight, I'll write about them. Basically, the car was in the same family for years. Then it was bought because someone had installed a 1970 factory Dana in it, the original 360 had a windowed block.
This owner was going to keep the Dana, and scrap the car. His friends convinced him to look at the car differently, and it was restored. The restoration soon became a race car for 19 and a half years that regularly saw 10 sec passes. The car has a 6 point roll bar, stock interior, stock wheel wells, and a Green Go paint job.
It was sold to a young couple who made some poor decisions with the car. They basically had the car for about a year, and sold it when they separated.
I bought the car on April 1st, 2008. I have done alot of sorting that the last owners had messed up. The fellow that had the car for over 19 years took pretty good care of the car. It was a race car that saw very limited street use.
I found one of his low 10 second time slips under the drivers seat, and his provincial safety certificate dated 1993 with the mileage. He basically put 2000 miles on the car, (including the young couple who had the car for a year).
I have put about 500 miles on the car and am about to make some changes to keep the car a true street machine that is reliable.
