a salty car put away, a good rinse before storage would have been a great help.

Hope your friend doesn't mind you posting pics.

Very cool car. I passed on a hemi powered (at least I remember it as a Hemi, guess it COULD have been a 440) Superbird in 1976. May be the second dumbest thing I ever did.

427 I did "sorta" the EXACT same thing. Mid to late '80's, say 88. Buddy and I were at the local Mopar show at "Dragway Park Cayuga" in Ontario Canada. A guy from Quebec was there with his Purple 426 Hemi 1970 Challenger RT convertible. Car was purple with white stripe, white top and interior, shaker hood. MINT shape. Me and my buddy thought he had rocks in his head asking $35,000.00 US for the car. Guys name was Rene Desetile (something like that).

IF WE ONLY KNEW!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes - Rene Delisle! His was the next hemi E body ragtop to sell just weeks after I sold mine during the summer of 1987. From that point on, their prices all went up in massive increments. Mine went to Otis Chandler, and then Rene's purple car went to Otis, too, IIRC for way more than $35K. I think more like $100K. Each successive sale would double the previous one because Otis at the time was paying whatever anyone was asking for the most rare musclecars with bulletproof provenance. He was a bazillonaire and was establishing his personal museum of "Transportation and Wildlife" to show his car collection and hunting trophies.
