Been working on it for 6 weeks now when I can. So heres some pics along the way, believe it or not its a CA car. Original 440 car and is factory sublime. Lots of pics since the owner lives in CA and can;t see it in person. As arrived: ![http://mywebpage.netscape.com/GD1996/calchally1222+001.jpg](http://mywebpage.netscape.com/GD1996/calchally1222+001.jpg) But heres where it was two weeks ago: ![http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o305/calschally/cals119002.jpg](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o305/calschally/cals119002.jpg) As of this past weekend: ![http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o305/calschally/cal211001.jpg](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o305/calschally/cal211001.jpg) ---

do you mind if i ask how much you picked it up for? considering its a major project car and an Ebody i was wondering if you got a decent deal. Fucking barret jackson drives the price of cars like that way up. 20 years ago that woulda been like 2000 car now its probably 5000-8000. my dream car is a 70 challenger rt 440 six pack, auto, plum crazy, hard top. chrome bumpers without the ugly bumperettes, t/a spoiler, ta side outlet exhaust, cragar ss’s, white R/T stripe, white interior, chrome sport mirrors and a powerbulge hood with the black out…but i want the D-O-D-G-E still on the hood… wasn’t available with the blackout. ---

This isnt my personal car, I also own a 70 challenger its about at the same stage, but had to put it off because this one pays the bills! I believe he got it for 3500 which was a steal being numbers and all. The trunk floor and around the front window is really the only major rust, but was wrecked on the ps quarter, then wheelhouses and extensions hacked for some custom flares, etc… Easily a 50-60k car when done. The owner wants it as a driver, but will still be show worthy. He just sent me a 72 imperial I gotta paint, was once owned by President Jimmy Carter! ---

This guy owns two superbirds and more, but he got them before prices went crazy. This summer he is driving out a 68 hemi charger for me to restore. Yeah, prices on e-bodies are crazy. I picked mine up for around 2k and it needs alot of work, but its a 70 which is the most valueable year. My friend has a 69 runner that was appraised at 45k, not even matching numbers. ---

68 and 69 runners in there too. Car should be done by summer, little slow now, but once the weather improves I’ll get alot more done. I may take it out for a few shows and cruises before it goes back to CA. No 70 net verts I know of, I wish! ---
