Looks pretty solid, but $32,500 firm...   :thinking:

1970 Challenger FC7 ( NOT FM3) 340 A/T car was painted pink in mid 70s A/C was added at same time. Have fender tag good body 32,500.00 IN US FUNDS. FIRM NO TRADE

GY3R/T

     Worth checking out. Original block & trans ? Only couple hundred made. Interesting color choice
      that wasn't very popular at the time. They sure sprayed everything.

That's the one with the spare tire bracket we were talking about...
1 of 178 US production... Wonder how many built for Canada ?

A/c isn't easy to find parts for and adding it to a car in Canada (especially a convt.) would be unusual, then there's the spare hold down issue. I'd check that body out with a fine tooth comb before laying any cash down. That trunk floor looks like it was born there.

That's exactly where I'm leaning towards too... :thinking:

Looks like a decent project.  But it seems like convertible project prices are getting out of control.  You can buy a finished R/T for less than you will have into this one when done.
Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.

This one is blowing my mind... The trunk does look original with the hardtop bracket. Adding AC correctly is a ton of work. The thing that's bothering me is the Plum Crazy paint showing everywhere. Did someone use an original plum crazy hardtop car? Convert it to a convertible using the Plum crazy convertible parts & documents and then paint the whole thing FM3?? Very weird.... I e-mailed the guy and asked him for more info. He responded the next day. I asked him if it could possibly be a cut down hardtop car and he never responded to me.

Yup...without seeing the car in person, it's a head scratcher for sure  :pullinghair:
