Cliff Notes version:
1970 Challenger Deputy. Owned 15 years. Bought as investment, best car I could afford back when I had extra money. Hauled from house to house.
I want to upgrade to a Cummins from my gas truck, and want to have the funds to finish my long term keeper, 1976 Dart Lite. For me to pull it off the Diesel, and $$ for Dart, I need to sell the Challenger.
Currently 440 / 727 / 8.75 with 3.23(if memory serves)
There have been several "restoration attempts" from my youth. Along the way, parts were lost (most notably fender tag) but overall the body is solid, floors solid, only some rust repair (I drove as daily driver for first 4 years) and repair around window channel (someone siliconed around windows, causing rust)
First goal, strip body down. Then rust repair. Then base coat clear coat, with a good hi impact color. Basic refresh on engine and transmission, detail, and let the next owner finish to their liking.
New Year's Day progress.
