I was looking for a Hemi Challenger with not original Hemi that was in nice shape but affordable. After months of searching, I gave up and found a Road Runner that was in good shape and purchased it this weekend. I left Saturday morning at 4AM to go to Michigan about a 9 hour ride. After 3 hours, I stopped for gas and noticed my rear trailer tire was missing. The wheel was there but all that was left was the tire bead. So I pulled out the big pump jack and put one of the spares on and proceeded. No trailer brakes now. The tire took out the wires. Then after all day about 12 miles from the car the battery light goes on and the display reads check the battery charging system. Made it to the Dealer and the sales guy showed me the car it sounded really tough. So I told him about my situation. He helped me pull the old alternator and we used the Hemi as a parts chaser. Worked good for that. Got there pretty quick. The sales guy helped me install the alternator and all was well with that. We did the deal then loaded up. I spliced the wires but the brakes did not work all the way home. The next day I finally got it in the garage. I should of played the POWERBALL with all that luck.

Nice color combo, great car! :drooling:
Congrats, looks good. If you find a decent 383 Challenger it wouldn't be all that hard to do a swap if you wanted to get to your initial goal.
Great car, love Hemi RR's! I've heard good and bad from Southern Motors and was interested in your experience. How fair did they represent the car, any surprises, good to do business with?
It's not an e-body but it is fantastic!! :unbelievable: :banana: 8) Very nice.
Buddy, you don't know how lucky you are to have gotten that car on saturday instead of sunday. I was up in michigan at a lake cottage this weekend. On saturday it was pretty decent and sunny out. On sunday... sleet. The roads were slicker than snot. In a 30 min stretch we counted 7 cars off the road on our way home to Indiana.
Love that car by the way!!!
Hey 303 Mopar, I bought a rotisory restored 70 CUDA from them last year an original N96 car also. It had some issues but all 50 year old cars have them. Someone restored it and I ironed out the details. It is now a keeper. They basically try to find the best classic cars for a good price and resell them. They do not have a repair or paint facility. They only can pass on a good price if they get a good price that is why there prices are all over the place. I like them and will buy again. They have a good team. Someone put a down payment on this car could not get the rest of the cash for 2 months and they discounted it to me. Last year when I picked up my Cuda they had 2 phone numbers on the desk with offers of 10K more than I paid for my car. They knew the potential buyers and said it was real. Hemi cars are not around for a fair price. This car was rebuilt and has 215 miles on the motor. Receipt for a rebuilt tranny and torque converter. It's got 10:1 pistons and solid lifters. It rocks. I am selling a few gm cars in my collection and maybe look for a Challenger convertible. A 340 will do. I am glad I got out of Michigan if the weather got bad it rained all the way home with no trailer brakes and a lot of mountains.
