When I got back to Mopars after a 10 year hiatus I decided I wanted to build my car my way. I have had the rarities...70 T/A Challenger, 68 383 GTS 4spd, and eight more. Yes I miss every one of them but those cars were ones that would required an OEM restoration. So I set about looking for power to weight ratio. A body only choice. Had to be 68-72 and I didn't care what it was just as long as it had low miles, original exterior, interior and glass and a small block. I didn't want to deal with cosmetics or rust. I knew that everything from the radiator to the rear leafs were going to be replaced. And thats what I did. Park of the fun was the hunt for parts. Since my first car was a '71 340 Challenger I leaned toward a 68-71 340. I found one in Palmdale for $400 complete from intake to oil pan. Found a 8-3/4 complete with 10"rear drums for $350 out of a 70 Duster. of course these pieces needed rebuilding which I can proudly say I did in my garage(sans the machine work). I am very happy with the path I chose. I didn't have to worry about a numbers matching R/T or 340 car. I can appreciate the cars that are completed that roll out of the Graveyard Cars shop. At least they don't sneak in that idiotic logo stitched into the seats or rear deck like the 'Count' does. I left the appearance they way I bought it. From the flat hood to the v8 tag on the fenders. Sometimes the drag radials give it away. With all this being said Graveyard Cars would never take my car in for work. Chip Foose would. In fact he loved what I did to my car. My car is a driver(the 10 miles to the gallon isn't easy but I have never cared about gas mileage). Its not perfect but people mistake it for a show car. And I wouldn't change a thing.
