Default I was given a 70 challenger yesterday!!

Went to a junkyard yesterday to find parts for my 72 Challenger and spotted under a tarp the front end of a challenger. Upon further investigation I found it was a 70 383 4-speed car matching numbers. It is in bad shape, but when I asked the old man who owned the junkyard how much he said if I'd move it I could have it since I was buying some 72 parts and some 340 X Heads he had. He said the EPA was on his back and he needed to move his really old cars. After I picked myself up off the ground I'm picking it up this afternoon and taking it home so I can hear the wife complain about another car.

No I don't wanna sell it or parts. I'm stingly with my Mopars.

It's a whole car??? That's pretty good, but if it's real bad what are you going to do with it?

I'm not fussy- I'll take almost anything wearing a pentastar that will help his EPA situation! Where are all these opportunities when I need them??? Buy a lottery ticket tonite, cec.... could be the start of something for ya!
