Title: New to me
Post by: xx88man on August 05, 2019, 08:45:07 PM
Well it took me forever but I have finally found and bought an E body that I can actually drive. Although I have tried multiple times I just don't have the place or the time to restore one of these cars. I picked up a low mile very original 71 Challenger. A great car that I can work on and also drive. We drove it over 800 miles to bring it home. Body is great. Interior is beautiful and original. Driveline can be upgraded over time.

Nice looking car! My advice would be to enjoy it for a while before making any major changes. Play with the little things to make it look better, run or sound better, more reliable, etc.  Big upgrades have a way of turning into project creep and before you know it, you are into a multi year restoration project costing you a fortune and taking your car off the road before your ready.

Nicely done. I love 71 challengers.  Thats cool you already put 800 miles on the new ride.  Thats more miles than many do in years after restoring their car.   :pokeeye:
