Wow, I figured for $8k this car must be a rotbox. With the right help and a friend with a welder and a few new parts (cowl, rear deck panel, a little flat sheetmetal), you could have what little rot is there patched in three weekends.

I hope you don't regret the sale later. If I didn't have three Challengers now, I'd be all over it.

Wanna trade for a driver 73 Chally with a 318? It's rust-free.

Since rust was the main problem with your build Greg, it sounds like a good deal. That way you can throw a paint job on it and cruise without ever gatting an A-body.

Yeah, but it's the right help and friend with a welder that's missing.  And I'm tired of messing with it.  I was laying in the car looking up at the firewall to put on the padding and had an epiphany, where I knew I was done.  I don't think I'll regret the sale later - there will always be another one.  As far as your offer, I'm game - if you want to drag your car out here to the West Coast and drag mine home.

if you get down to 6k , I will take it. No hassles and will come get it.  In no.cal

I'll keep your offer in mind.  I have over $8k in parts and machine work in it right now (see attached document), so I'd like to get back at least what I have in it.  The only reason I'm offering it as cheap as I am is A.) It's in pieces, which makes it difficult to sell and B.) The market is down - not a lot of free money floating around right now. 

I just posted it to CL last night.  So far, just one call - a technician at JBA (Mustangs) with a turbo VW Bug that runs 11.30s but is set up as a street car.  He claims to have $20k in his Bug, but offered me a straight up trade.  I thought about it for a moment (I'm open to trades for cars other than Mopars, if it's a good deal), but I'd prefer some cash and don't want to have to sell anything I take in trade.

Greg,
Thanks for considering down the road.  Im not working like I used to, so not alot of cash floating around either.  I wish I could just buy it for what you need to get out of it.  Ive been out of the mopar game for some time now.  I used to have one to work on consistantly, just had no time to enjoy them.  Now i have the time with work load way down, and no mopar.  Always works that way, right. take it easy.

If nothing works out for you Greg, i would consider flying over and fixing the rust issues in your Challenger :bigsmile: just need somewhere safe to stay and good food, and good company to keep me happy is all, (and a welding machine would be handy :smilielol::2thumbs:

me neither...
just checked flying from germany, saves about a 100/150 bucks.
the date doesn`t vary very much as long as you don`t fly mid summers or around christmas. I checked oct. and jan.
