Default Re: 250 mile Challenger T/A

I agree. 250 miles and there are stains on the trunk mat, dirty engone, aftermarket gauges.. In 250 miles? Don't think so, That was one weekends worth of driving back then .. no way..

Barry Washington (Challenger T/A Registar) went over the car with a fine tooth comb over several days and agreed that the mileage is genuine. I can say that the storage of the vehicle was less than ideal (surviving daughter stored the car most it's life after dad passed)...the documentation on the car is undisuptable, backing up the odometer. Other things, like cardboard tags, chalk marks, etc. were intact.

As for the "aftermarket accessories" like the tach, wheels, suspension mods, the only thing not installed by Grand Spaulding before the car sold new was the "paint job" on the bottom of the car, a popular thing to do. The rest was added by Mr. Norm to speed the sale of this car- which was a lot lizard, selling in 1971. This conversation is EXACTLY why its important to have a lifetime documentation of a given car. When some calls you have the docs to prove it.
