Challenger has leather seats and what I found weird was the antenna was mounted on the rear quarter like a T/A? :clueless: :dunno:

I was thinking the same thing. tag still on it?

Alan forgot about those super rare 1979 Roadrunners where you get the car with dancing girls and a keg in the trunk!

Went back and looked at the cars again. They are getting worse every time I look!  :lol:
The vin tag on the Challenger is JN23G0B18085 It has a rally dash , pistol grip 4 speed leather interior , antenna on the rear quarter. I think it's a Frankenstein car . Guessing 318 3 speed car with a bunch of parts added? I wouldn't be surprised if the dash and vin didn't  match the car.
The Cuda is toast, the roof is the only salvageable panel on the car, floors all rotten,  frame rails are even rotten. $200 car to me? It does also have a rally dash cluster though. The door tag does not match the vin, another Frankenstein car, looks to have been Petty blue originally?

All fun looking just the same! . It's been quite a few years since I've seen an e-body around here to restore or even in a junk yard.

I went back to visit Rob and to my surprise he painted it!  Thought it was pretty cool to see it with colour on it!  :bananasmi
It's far from a show car but what makes it so cool to me is that he built the car all himself with a VERY small/no budget!  :worshippy :clapping:   I told him I WANT A RIDE!  :aarg: :rebel:
