Bought another 1970 Challenger R/T today

I need therapy!

Even with my current convertible/project, I couldn't resist buying another 70 R/T. And it's a PROJECT! Original 383 3 SPD car that's missing almost everything. Glad I have a decent stash of parts!

Hemi orange with white stripes. No vinyl top. White Interior. One of 355 383 3spds made.

No build sheet but it does have the fender tag. And since I like different, I'll build it back like original.

Yes you are a SICK individual, I mean that in a good way.

Thats going to cost you a small fortune, but it sure is going to be gorgeous!!!

The best therapy for that behaviour, is to sell it.
To me!

Nice car! Can't have too many projects.

If you need a powertrain I recalled this Facebook post

https://www.facebook.com/groups/ebodies/permalink/3026352790743536/

"From a 70 Challenger RT I have a 70 383 mag with numbers matching 3 speed stick Complete top to bottom with 38k on it. Also has the matching radiator. There were 335 Rts made with the 3 speed stick. I would like to find someone that needs this for there RT or I would like to find a 70 Challenger RT missing the motor and 3 speed and purchase it so this engine combo isnt wasted."

Maybe the original combo from your car?

I paid $6500 for it. And it comes with an extra flat hood. I thought it was a good enough deal to pick it up. Others may not. I like that it's rare and different and I think it should be saved. I'm not concerned with what it will be worth in the end. I'm not in this hobby for that!

Thanks! I asked him if he still had it.
