Default The Challenger has landed

Shipper dropped her off about an hour ago. Pretty clean car overall, but not nearly as clean as the Scamp. Definitely more of a project car, but still a very nice driver in the mean time. There were two big boxes of stuff in the trunk, and it's obvious that this was a girls car previously. Custom painted front plate with a purple rose and Plum Crazy lettering, purple fuzzy dice that light up (might have to keep these, LOL!) and a tiny mirrored disco ball were my first clues. It also came with new weatherstripping, a new front plate bracket, a box full of small parts (screw kits, ashtrays, lighters, panel fasteners, stuff like that) and the remainder of the paint and reducer used for the paint job. A lot more than I bargained for, to be sure. Doesn't sound like a 318 2bbl either. It has dumped Flowmasters at the axle, with huge tips on them, and it is freaking loud. I'll try to get a video this weekend.

Anywho, here's a couple of pics to get things started -

This time I used J&J Transport out of Georgia. Expedited (overnight delivery), enclosed (48' trailer) service was right at $1400. Reliable is a bit more, and they do zone delivery, so your car may be on the trailer for a week or two before it gets to you. If you're not particular how it gets to you, you can opt for open trailer service and save a few hundred bucks.
