It's kind of lame but I've had this car since 85' and I've never driven it. A family friend gave it to me when I was 15 and didn't have the coin to get it runnin' at the time. So when I was ready to start driving I bought a car to get by and that turned into about fifteen others including other Chargers.
It stayed at my Mom's house in Cali after I moved to the East coast and I finally brought it back about 5 years ago and worked on it in short spurts since then. I rebuilt a 69' 440, tracked down the wheels and nut covers, replaced the 8 3/4 from a 68' Coronet wagon with the wagon springs also (used the rear for a 70' 318 Charger).
Overall it is a very sound car with the typical lower rear window rust and lower quarter rust but thats it. I've got some loffty goals so hopefully I'll be driving it for the first time in about 2 years with a Keisler 5 speed, the rebuilt engine, some new brakes and then I'll tear it all down and start working on the body and interior.
