Re: speaking of barn finds !!!
 

Speaking of barn finds and Challengers, actually this one was sitting in a car port, not that many barns in Alaska.
I was finally able to purchase this car this spring after 17 years of waiting for the owner to sell.
He owned this car since 1972.
It's a 1970 Challenger 440-6 pack SHAKER hood car that is nicely optioned.
Supposedly 1 of 6 Panther pink 440-6 shaker cars built by DODGE.
Nice documentation, warranty papers, fender tag and 2 broadcast sheets.
I will try to post some pics, never tried posting pics before, may need some help.
Sorry was unable to post pics, any body want to help me out?
Thanks
Bruce

Re: speaking of barn finds !!!
 

Got a better idea...send them to me via [email protected] and send me a write up too...I'll feature it in Members Rides forum !

Re: speaking of barn finds !!!
 

It's not possible to find out how many V-code pink cars were made. But for the US market, they made 41 with all engines, from the 383 up to the Hemi.

Re: speaking of barn finds !!!
 

Congrats on the great find!! That is a nice looking car especially considering the conditions it lived in all of these year. It's great to see another car saved!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif Jesse

Re: speaking of barn finds !!!
 

Nice 6-pack Challenger!!! It is a very rare optioned car. Patrick

Re: speaking of barn finds !!!
 

It looks in pretty good shape for a barn find, good catch!!

Re: speaking of barn finds !!!
 

Thanks guys for the compliments, I'll put a story together and send it in.
In the Dec. issue of MOPAR ACTION which is now on the magazine racks, is a feature GATOR AID on another 70 Challenger 6-pack Shaker car I owned and restored, it is now owned by a member of SYC. It also was a barn find, sorta.
Several cars that Ive known about locally for years but owners won't sell, 70 Fathom blue LS-6 chevelle numbers matching, parked since 73-74, 70 white LS-6 El Camino numbers matching, 69 Ralley Green SS 396/375 Camaro 4-spd non matching parked in the mid 70's.

Hey, how about that 8 track-tape on the passenger floor ? --- another bonus, maybe CCR or the Stones ???? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: speaking of barn finds !!!
 

WOW! Looking at picture td 3 I can see that it does have a rare option. I didn't know satellite dishes were available back then. Is there a wind resistance problem? Does it work better when you go faster??

yep saw that first hand a few years ago..a nice old fella a few houses over settled on the hill in the '60's when no one was here had a couple acres and few boats and cars parked on it rotting away...the do gooders called the county and his life was turned upside down at 74 yrs old..these cars were out back and even at that age he kept the front yard looking pretty good. they say we cant park stuff on grass it has to be on a approved surface, then if you do that I think there is some rule about how many you can have sitting, total bs, as long as it's under the fence line and you dont look like a wrecking yard it shouldnt matter.

guy passed on and I say it was from the stress of the whole deal, now the jerk that called has three big houses built on the property with the 5 ft min setbacks right up to his place and they get to look out there windows at each other,

often have wanted to ask him if he would have rather looked at a grassy field with a few junkers or his new neighbor getting a drink of water 10 ft away in his house.

Now where have I heard of a car like that before

Re: speaking of barn finds !!!
 

I would have to say Bruce is being rather modest with his restoration capabilities. On his first outing ever with his Go Mango 440-6 six shaker challenger at Mopars at the Strip in Vegas he won: 2nd overall e-body, 2nd overall peoples' choice, 2 major magazine feature articles and judges' selection to be shown at a special evening event at the Cannery Casino. It also appears the car could have done better if the typical Mopar production line practices like undercoating rear wheel wells had been implemented https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif
