I was originally just keeping this in a file on my computer but instead decide to move it here:
Week 1:
I've been looking for a 70s Challenger for around three years. You don't see many Challengers on the market in Ohio, and the few I've seen tend to fall into one of two groups: Show Cars (which cost way more than my budget) or Project Cars (which usually are not drivable and/or are missing significant parts....like motors).
But last Saturday (5/14/2011), that search ended. I took the plunge and purchased a 1974 Dodge Challenger off eBay. The car is in very good shape with some minor rust on the quarters and some paint chips. It's also a numbers matching four speed with a four barrel.
Most of this week was spent arranging pick up, getting insurance straightened up, transferring the title, picking up a second set of keys and ordering a whole bunch of stuff off ebay.
