well, its a real HEMI Challenger 4 speed and the numbers match on the VIN tag and body....so thats gotta be worth something.
85 large because the 5th digit is an "R"... ok then.
There is a lot of people that care about that 5th digit. Im not taking sides though! Most people that care about that 5th digit though would not like a car that has an R and that has been as hacked and too far gone as this one! 5th digit VIN people are not usually into race cars

Noticed that the inner fender apron on the drivers side looks to have been "swiss cheesed" yet not the passenger side? Was that something that was done orginally or from a later owner & why just one side? Hemi Fred you got any ideas?

Did it get shipped back from Hawaii under the boat? Would be a cool car to restore to as raced condition, but it sure is rough.

The salt air in Hawaii is highly corrosive, and as you can see from the pics, cars there rust from the top down as opposed to the typical bottom-up East Coast rust.
License plate looks like an Oahu plate, as Big Island (Hawai'i) should start with an H (Kaua'i = K, Maui = M),
but it's probably not a critical fact. There was a track outside Hilo, ran maybe once a month. There was also a track on Maui & Oahu. They may still exist, don't know
Seems odd to me that there are no sliders for the leaf springs, and I don't see the typical large fuel plumbing, both of which were fairly common in that era.
Wouldn't surprise me if the car needs a full re-body and the motor's rusted solid; what a shame.

Maui Raceway Park is still running. At least it was 2 years ago when I was on my honeymoon. Track is a old WWII air strip. Was alot of fun seeing the cars, and homemade trailers there.
