Car is sold, thanks for the interest.

If you are the type of person who is looking for a numbers matching car with correct build sheet and fender tags, then stop reading now. It will only hurt your feelings.
This car started life as a 1973 base Challenger with a 318 and Slapstick automatic. I bought it as a shell and have put a lot of effort into it, but time and lack of talent is not in my favor of getting it done soon. So, with that, I am putting it up for sale. I have converted it to a 1970 clone with the correct front fenders, rear marker lights, rear tail light panel and grill. The hood is a new AMD R/T-Ralley all painted in House of Kolor Pavo Purple. All the paint and bodywork was done professionally by Charlie's Custom Colors. The engine is a Magnum based 408 stroker that is built and unfired. I was setting the car up to run Holley EFI. It will need to be assembled as the pictures show, but will be a great project for the right person, or part out what you do not want. I am not parting this out.  CAR HAS A CLEAN TITLE IN MY NAME.  Breakdown of everything below.

TERMS:
I will not part this out at this time.  If there is a couple buyers who would buy everything in combination, then I would consider it.  Payment must be in full, I will not take payments, or hold it for you. I will work with you on final details for the money, and pick up of the Challenger. My price is not set in stone, but I have to start somewhere. When others are asking as much as 15-20k for E body shells that are rust buckets, I don't know that I am really out of line considering all the extra parts.

I am saddened that you are selling , I would rather fly up & help you finish it actually .
I would love to buy it also but I have no place here to keep it safe & work on it .
Awesome color !

I was wondering/feeling the same thing, but didn't want to offend... you never know ones personal reasons.   Its almost there with everything remaining lined up, certainly miles ahead of my project.    This passion certainly takes its time toll when you're already busy with life.  sometimes I feel like I should have my head checked  :brainiac:

No offence taken, not even a little bit. The sale is personal in some ways, but more a realization about myself and what is important to me now. My wife has the car bug now, and we enjoy automotive events. During the summer we are going almost every weekend to one. I have figured out I enjoy driving my car more then a long term build. So, my plan is to get a running driving car that I can do small improvements at a time. That way I can still drive it to events with my wife, but enjoy little build projects when time allows.
