Default 1970 Challenger Unrestored

Not a Mopar guy so I don't have much to say about this car, and whether it's a good value, but it sure looks to be awfully clean. I'm guessing someone added the 'R/T' emblems later in its life.

I guess unrestored now includes being repainted once but having the original interior

Right . . . which no longer qualifies it as an unrestored car. Got to draw the line somewhere.

Totally disagree but that's your opinion against mine.

Cool. Slant 6!
I'd say its unrestored because it appears to have never been restored.

The definition of UNRESTORED:

"not repaired or renovated."

I would definitely call a paint job a repair or renovation.

Paint is a wear item on a 50 year old car. Again, your opinion. And that's fine.

And yet so many cars from that era have their original paint. We aren't talking about tires or acc. belts or a battery - those are wear items.

LOL - it's not my opinion - it's the definition of the word "unrestored" which you choose to ignore and replace with YOUR opinion.

Ha! I seem to recall you expressing an OPINION that a 68 Camaro firewall with VIN and trim tags could be "restored" and not "rebodied." You may want to revisit what you consider absolutes because you are clearly defining your opinions as FACT. Whether a repaint or valve job, it's a 50 year old car. And most of us on this site couldn't care less about the money aspect; if I did I would have sunk the hundreds of thousands of dollars I've spent on cars into Apple stock.
