70 Challenger "Barn Find"

This is an anniversary present for my wife. She shares my interest in this hobby so it seemed fitting to hook her up with her own hotrod. Here is a pic of the 70 Challenger The day I dragged it home and another picture after some rubbing compound and a buffer. We will be reskinning the quarters and repowering it with a 440 since the kids dont want to ride in mamas car on cruise night because it "needs a big block". My 454 Chevelle always leaves her in the dust.

Here is the second picture. I was able to get pictures from the second owner of the car at the mopar nationals...sort of a photo documentary of the cars history.

I see you're in Westlake. Where was the car when you bought it? Just another curious Cleveland area mopar nut.

Car sure cleaned up good from the looks of it! I like it

Great present. Looks like it's in real good shape.

We found the car in North Olmsted. I used to drive by the car going to my parents for sunday lunch. It was sitting outside for 4-5 years and I would joke with My wife that I was going to "boost" the car and leave another in it's place. One spring day in 2006 the owners were there and my wife made me stop and ask about it. I told her that given the current market in the hobby, that there was no way we could afford it. Well after some convincing from my wife we pulled in and and I made the deal of a lifetime. I landed this car for less than it would have cost in the 80's. I flushed the fuel system replaced a hose clamp and pumped some refrigerant into the Challenger its been a driver for the last 3 years.

Great present for a great woman.
