Greetings from Idaho. I bought two 70 Challengers from a Texas junk yard 30 years ago. I did the minimum to make one from the two that was legal and fast, figuring I'd get around to finishing someday. Looks like that day has finally come and I'll be looking for advise and parts to progress. Looks like you have a lot of both here.

Welcome to the site from Ontario,  :canada:  and congrats on the urge that you had those 30 years ago; because believe me now, you sure as hell paid peanuts compared to what those would cost today. Good luck on your restoration!!  :wave:

Welcome from Alabama. The one from two appears to be an R/T SE from the picture?

You'll find the right answers here, likely from experience.

Btw, nice license plate...  :bigthumb:

Welcome. I am just "finishing" up mine that I parked in 91. By finishing, I mean almost ready to drive around the block. Lots more to do, but the big things are done. Good luck on yours. Hopefully we can help. I got a lot of it on here.

Great that you are finally able to start working on your Challengers.
I do miss the days when you could go to a wrecking yard and e bodies and other Mopars were there in larger numbers just for the picking! Glad you picked up your two!
Good luck with your project.

Had I known they would one day have value, I would have kept them both. Notice Panther Pink heater delete. It is JS29, RT SE, 383, pistol grip, leather.
