A question for 1970 Challenger owners ... important!

[_Russ_]

If you were to take your Challenger to IKEA, and had to pick up a parcel that was 78cm x 193cm (31 inch x 76 inch) + 4inches deep - how would you fit it in your Challenger?

1970 Challenger. Auto. Console. 1 driver. No passengers. No trailer.

Go!



The only way I can get it to work is if I sit one end on the dash, and the other on the rear parcel shelf, however any position I put the passenger seat (all the way back or all the way forward), it gets in the way.

What say you Challenger faithful?

This isn't the prettiest solution, but I would have the passenger's seat leaning forward. Then one end of the box on the rear seat, with the rest angled to stick out the passenger's window.

That's about where my thinking is at.

I did that with an IKEA shelf system about a year ago. The new parcel (a bed) is about a foot or so longer. Still should be cool. So long as a drive sensibly.

put my top down,or use the van.

What about taking the pieces out of the box and putting them in one at a time? Pull the back seat back and have things going from the back seat into the trunk

Removing the top of the passenger seat is usually pretty simple.  In 74 it's just remove the covers and unbolt the seat top

That's the route I'd go.  And you're talking to a guy who's used his 2001 Stratus Coupe to carry a Craftsman 36" tool box (chest AND drawers) AND a full-sized Wal-Mart futon! (granted, not at the same time)

Nowadays, I just rent trucks.

Why on earth would you take a 70 challenger to Ikea? I would carry it home on my back first.

I think there is an old pair of metal roof racks at my parents house i could loan you.

I would find some block with a truck and buy him a cold one for helping.

  not worth screwing up an expencive dash pad!....or anything else!

Failing that it's only 4 bolts to remove the passenger seat?

Stand outside IKEA looking confused about how to get it into the car and there's bound to be someone who likes classic cars that has a truck and is willing to deliver for a few bucks.

[Chryco Psycho]

I would just take my Cummins

I don't own a Challenger......but can I play to?

I would find a hot girl (dressed in a short skirt and tank top), and place her and the parcel beside the Challenger looking distraught.  I guaranty you within a few minutes the package would be delivered to your house and set up for you free of charge.

Taking it out of the package is probley the best way.  Or you can take out the back window, and stick it out the back.

Rent a pickup at U-Haul or Home Depot. Last I looked, $19.95/day.
