Project Pistol Whipped- 70 Challenger R/T 440-6, 4 speed, B7 blue

[1 Wild R/T]

Have you had a machine shop look at the block to see if it can be rebuilt?

Not yet, it is the last major piece I need to spend money on. I'm sure it can be saved. The decision I have is to spend the money to build the original block or freshen the complete 67 440HP that I have.

True, but as long as he has the original & it stays with the car having another engine in the car means you can beat it a little without worry...

Great car to restore. B7 super nice colour. I'm restoring a 70 Challenger convertible in that colour as well as a 70 Road Runner

What a great project.     And that radio block off plate is super rare.

Looks decent. Next time you'll want to pull that dash assembly out complete and pull it down out of the car.

There is a lot I would do differently if I knew then what I know now...that picture is near 17 years old now

Ha, ha: Yup wouldn't we all.

Pretty much any E-Body gets me excited, but this car seems to be extra special.  If you ever want out of it, just let me know.     I love it!

Thanks Cody...but this is the one car that will stay with me unless someone wants to trade me a 71 Hemi 'cuda
