Default CHALLENGER IDENIFICATION

Hi guys just wanted to see if i can find out what original breed of challenger i have, bought it 16yrs ago (been sitting in shed for 15) had been restored and converted to right hand drive, just wanted to make sure its not a collectable before i give it a make over (528 mopar crate engine, front suspension conversion etc.)

Thanks Mark

Need more info. Is it a big block v8 or small block? What engine and transmission. What color and what options does it have: Air conditioning, power windows, luggage rack, rallye dash, etc. all make a difference in collectibility.

VIN will only tell part of story, but here goes.

JH23= Challenger hardtop
JS23= Challenger Rallye (only 6,902) made.

Trans does not show in VIN.

Check engine block and trans for last six digits to see if drivetrain matches your VIN number on dash.

Hope that helps

Sorry, forgot. Also check under backseat for Broadcast sheet (old peice of paper) that would be the mother load to your questions, assuming it matches the VIN to car as well.

Frankly, any of these E body mopars in "good, solid" shape are worth saving.
