My Wife and I (30 yr olds) bought our first Mopar!!

[BA41LEES69XP]

Hello all!

After growing up in the classic mopar world, and years of wanting "in," my wife and I finally scored a 69 Charger! This will be mama's car, and she is pumped to get it back on the road after sitting for 15+ years. The car is an original B5 Blue, B7 guts, A41 optioned "White Hat Special" with a white vinyl top. Originally a 383 column auto car, it now has a 440 in it. The plan is to retain the patina, "Joe Dirt" appeal, but recondition all the mechanicals to make the car a reliable driver....we have two small kiddos (2yrs and 4.5yrs) that love riding in our old classics, so finally mama has her own grocery getter, which I know she'll enjoy more than my Chevelle!

Here are some pics of the newest addition to our family!!

Welcome to FBBO from New Zealand.

Looks like a decent car, and will be fun to restore. If you get stuck....the R/T Garage is not far from you - in Belle Plaine.

Welcome from NY.
Your so fortunate to have young kids.

(BTW: It's always safer to say your wife is 29)
