Bought a 72 from the original owner. It is a regular challenger but was ordered with the rallye hood and gauges and 340 with posi rearend. He also ordered it with air, power steering, power disc brakes, and rear defroster. It has been garage kept its entire life and is in pretty decent shape. It has every original piece on it including all powertrain parts. I'm gonna put a headliner, carpet, and new vinyl top on it and its ready to drive. Will require some detail work to be show ready.

 

Sounds like a nice find. Congrats!!!

I've always wanted to use this:

You don't come across many like that anymore. Should be a fun project to say the least!!!! I had a '73 340 Challenger once but I bet even back then it wasn't as nice as yours sounds!!![sm=hail.gif] And yes we need pics!!!!!Congrats

 

congrats on the car! have fun. please get some pics......

 

Ok! Good to hear that you want to restore that bad boy!! And I'll say it as well..
POST PICS PRETTY PLEASE!!

 

Here are some quick pics I snapped yesterday. This is the condition it came out of the original owners storage building. I didn't even wash it yet. Vinyl top is going on this Friday. I love the fact all the chrome is there and very lightly dinged. I'm gonna polish and go as this one is gonna be my driver. Gotta love PS and A/C.

Man, thats' a nice straight find. Great Job. Looks like all u have to do is drive it! R.V.

 

Has anyone heard of anyone buying a Challenger or Cuda with a anchor engine and replacing it with the new 5.7 hemi? I am looking for a decent body with limited rust to do this. Mechanic friend wants to install that twin turbo kit for the Ram Quad cabs that makes about 500 hp. Says he wants to build something that will do wheel stands.....lol.....

 

Very nice!!

 

I've seen it with a 6.1 HEMI. Here are some pics I took at the Goodguys Charlotte Show. The car was on display for a local builder. I lost his card so I don't remember the name. Check out the cool billet wiper motor cover he made. I encouraged him to make some more. I'd buy.
