    Excellent!

    In '84, I paid $900 for that car, had a $1000 paint job done and drove it from Seattle to San Diego without a problem! Boy the times have changed!

    Strange, the buyer was local and I never saw the car again!
    Soon after it sold, Challenger prices went through the roof!  :faint:
