Default Re: Backyard finds today

Just found a couple more.

I also found this car in Plainfield, IL while I stopped at a yard sale at an old farm house. It had a couple of garages and one was half opened so I was able to see this. The owner was a mean looking biker that would have scared most who looked at him but was very happy to talk about the car. It is a 1970 Challenger R/T that the owner said that he got in about 1985. He said the car was originally yellow with a 4 speed before he repainted it, swapped the tranny, and replaced the motor. Next to the car he had the original 340 on an engine stand all rebuilt like 15 years ago that he never touched. There was also a rack of cool old Mopar wheels and tires. I thought I might have had a shot to buy the car but after some time he backed out and wanted to keep it. He actually refered to the car as a "collectors item".
