1970 Challenger Convertible - Opinions

[erik70rt]

I've been following this car for months on ebay:

Price seemed a little high to me, but last night I called the owner to get more info. 

The trunk pans, lower quarters, fenders, hood and valences have been replaced.  By the look if the job in the trunk, I am concerned about the rest of the patches. 

None of the suspension was changed.  It still has the 318 bars and springs with no sway bar. 

3.23 Open 8 3/4 rear

14" rims

Air shocks on the rear

all mouldings are new

Interior has been redone

Power top works

No drips or leaks

Thought the 440 is a 70 block but didn't know anything about the rebuild. 

I told him I would like to come take a look this weekend, but I am having second thoughts.

I know it's a tribute and I would pull off all the R/T logos.  He mentioned some Road Runners to me.  Said nothing about another Challenger.  I'm not looking for another big project, and only for a convertible.

I think this triple black 70 Challenger vert real RT 383 car is a better investment

I know it is a 383 2BBL car.  One of 211 built.  I talked to the owner last night for a bit.  I am looking for a nice convertible - doesn't have to be an R/T.  And no, this one is not an R/T even though it has R/T badging on it. 

I've already decoded the fender tag and know what has been changed like the color, stripes, badges, 4BBL, exhaust etc.

Challenger big block convertibles in decent condition are getting harder and harder to find at a decent price!

How'd the blue one turn out?


I hate buying from dealers, but what do you think on this one?
