Picked up a 70 Charger 500 S.E. by accident - 08/02/12 03:28 PM
I have this posted on the Charger forums also & figured I would post it here in the projects section also.
Been talking to a guy I worked with that has owned this car for four years. He got it from another guy who was restoring it after 8 years & went thru a divorce so he gave it to the guy I work with for the money he owed him for doing engine/head work.
After him owning it for four years & not doing anything with it he told me to come & get it out of his way. Had to go to (3) different loacations for the car & all of the parts (totally disassembled).
It wasn't free but extremely very cheap in today's market. He told me to come & get it. Need no cash. I can make payments & he doesn't care how long to pay it off (interest free). It was too good of an offer to pass up.
Its only a 318,727, console bucket seat, 8-3/4 car originaly But appears to have been an S.E. possibly? Seems like 90+% off it is all there, just all apart.
Came with a 440, over $3000 worth of new repro sheet metal, $1500.00 worth of new repro seat covers door panels & headliner.
It was a last minute deal to pick up. I took it out to my parents barn to store it.
I just don't know what I am going to do with it yet. Restore,street machine, Pro street, Already building a race car too out of my 70' Challenger so don't need another race car. Looks like another father/sons project though.
This hobby is worse than a cocaine habit I think sometimes.......can't ever get enough of it.
