426 Hemi Dodge Challenger R/T, Shaker Hood, A32 Super Track Pack

Description

• We purchased the car from Robert Ross the original owner who was a soldier from Jacksonville Fl stationed at Fort Bragg NC. Robert bought the car new just before being sent to Vietnam on a one year tour. When Robert returned from Vietnam he drove the car for a couple years until the car had engine problems. He parked the car under a friends shed and returned to Florida . When we bought the car from Robert in 1979 the car showed 30,609 original miles on the odometer and a 1973 inspection ticker on the windshield. It had not been driven since 1974 and had been kept under the shed and out of the weather. The car sat for about 3 years until we could get the title and lien released and afford to get it running again. We have years of vehicle registrations,state inspections,pictures from the day we brought it home and pictures from years of owning the Hemi Challenger. Plus much more documentation that is included in the sale. Hopefully our Hemi Challenger will be bought by someone who will take care of our very rare one of a kind car for years to come.We have had the car for 39 years and drove the car every so often and logged another 3500 miles on the car. This Hemi Challenger R/T now has 33,960 ACTUAL original miles on the odometer!

A complete restoration/refresh was completed in 2012 by Chuck Smith Classic Cars retaining most of the cars original parts and NOS Mopar parts, after which the car was put on display for two years at Floyd Garrett’s Muscle Car Museum in Sevierville, Tennessee. We have driven our Hemi Challenger R/T Approximately 15/20 miles since restoration was completed.
