New Join Here! 1970 Charger 500

[Moparmann]

Greetings, All! I am the proud owner of a 1970 Charger 500, white w/ bright blue metallic interior, 318/console automatic. I found the car on eBay, and it was my first major eBay purchase! I purchased it from the original owner's daughter. It was a replacement for my first Charger (bought w/ my money), which was totaled in a 1978 accident. I have owned it for about 16 years. The original drive train is about to turn over 143k, and the 318 has a "genie" inside, as she sometimes smokes when fired up. I have been acquiring restoration parts/pieces for it, but so far, I've not started the restoration. To do so, I need a big pile of pictures of dead presidents, LOL! I am currently in the middle of converting my car to power front disc brakes. Looking forward to interacting with you all!

Interior shots, as requested. Driver's seat has a few small tears in it, the front carpet and headliner needs replacing, and the dash pad has a few cracks in it; other than that it's okay!

That is a nice looking car ! Welcome to the club.
Ten bucks says your VIN starts with XP29G0G.
My red '70 I call "Ginger" was originally a 318-904, 4 wheel non power drum F8 green in and out.
Not anymore..

Both of us have "Charger 500" models. I went the other way with mine though, adding R/T emblems and stripes.
