    Nice score! (y) A buddy of mine had a dark green 69 Charger RT with a 440 in high school. It was pretty bad ass. I think all you need to do is wash it, and head over to Dukes Fest! You'd definitely fit in! http://www.cootersplace.com/dukesfest.asp

    Nice grab!

    Be careful cleaning it up, as in wear breathers ... pigeon crap can do some really nasty things to your lungs.

    You might want to read up on that before tackling it.

    When I started to go to local stock car tracks in 1980, the promoter would bring in the General Lee show every year. They would spend intermission having a General Lee replica being chased by a Rosco replica squad car. Lots of spins and jumps. In case your's might have been one of these performing cars, just check underneath for anything bent.

    Otherwise - great find! :thumbs2:

It will be a while before we will buy parts.....mopar parts are outrageous to buy!! ill have more pics in a couple weeks!!
