Help Me Save This Legend
Donation protected
The 1970 Dodge Challenger is an American legend of which very few have survived and even fewer still in their original numbers matching condition. A few years ago I came across this absolute gem sitting in my lovely girlfriend's parents back yard rotting away. It had been sitting there for 6 years before I was finally able to acquire it from it's owner and by then it was covered in rust and full of holes. It breaks my heart to see these marvels of engineering in such a condition, especially one that played such a large part in the history of today's modern cars.
So I have decided to take it upon myself to restore this antique beauty to her full original glory. However, the more I looked at it the more blatantly obvious it became that this was going to be an expensive mission. She needs to be sanded to bare metal and sealed. The rust holes need to replaced with new sheet metal. The entire floor needs replacing along with the whole interior, and that's just the body. Yeah, it's lot and I practically live paycheck to paycheck as it is so there's no way I could afford to do it myself.
So, I'm humbly asking for your help in resurrecting this piece of American history. To be honest I'm not even certain if $10,000 will be enough but I think it'll get me along enough to put this stunning machine in a sufficiently decent condition that maybe with just a bit more work it'll seem like she just rolled off the production line in November of 1969.
As I work on the car I'll also be providing updates and photos with what your money has gone towards.
