I'm going to post progress as I restore my blue challenger ta. I've decided to do the car really correct and as detailed as I can. I'm sure I'll need advise along the way. As many of you know I was thinking of selling my original 450 rims off the car but have decided against it now with much advise from you. I'm going to mount the correct poly glas tires on these for shows and I'll use the new Firestone wide ovals poly / radials on my rally's for a vintage looks on them.
I'll post pics as I go through the car a restore it.
This is where it sat for the last 20 plus years.

Loading it and bringing it home

Home in the garage

Interior is actually pretty decent with a very nice original dash pad. It has no cracks in it and it a factory 3 speaker dash car.

pic of it from orig owner back when it was new.

Started stripping it down, removed front and rear glass and seats.

Next on the list is to pull the steering column, dash and drop the drive line out on the stand as one unit. Then on the rotisserie it will go.
Then I'll start stripping the under side.

My favorite color combo on a T/A. 4 speed console car makes it even better!

Came with a nos front valance, gas cap, air filter, sill plates, door handles, stripes, all the brite trim and nos head light bezels for a ta. Also has the original jack and space saver tire in the trunk with the inflator can. I have the original owner info and where it was purchased new. The dealer ship is in Maine and still open so I plan on swinging down and picking up a dealer plate for the front of my car from them. I'll then see if they my know what the dealership decals May of looked like from back in the 70s so I can get one made up like it. Maybe they still might have some kicking around.

Very cool T/A, can't wait to watch the progress on this one!

Got a lot done today,
Pulled the steering column
Pulled the exhaust
Pulled the rear end
Pulled the motor
Ready for the rotisserie, should have it on tomorrow.

The Underside is very clean and rust free. Way nicer then I was expecting. I'm going to get it ready for the blast booth now. I'll blast the under side, jams, trunk floor, and engine bay and go from there.

Numbers motor and original rear end but the trans was replaced at one time. Still has the correct 3:91 gears in it.

T/A's are cool and all but tell me more about THE VAN!!

It's my street van , it's one of my most favorite rides. I'm repainting it to look like the yellow street van that is used in all the advertisements.

I want to see photos of the black coupe/sedan that was in the first photo. What is it ???
Nice T/A and it's a great color combo.

That's the previous owners car. He drives that every where.
