				A quick walk-round video of the '73 Challenger I recently bought from Matt Snowball

				I remember that one Andy, the yellow project car at the Nats last year 
 
 Needs a fair bit of work needed for sure but complete as I recall, a decent car.........well done and welcome to the forum mate

				Yep, it's certainly solid, just needs some tidying up bodywork-wise.  It has been standing for a while, so has the usual issues with lack of use.  Biggest one so far is the fuel pump deciding to pump fuel into the engine and oil all over the engine bay!  Just fixed that today with a new pump and an oil change....
Interior is in good condition but needed a good clean, and will need a headliner fitting. 
It has a current MOT but is still SORN until I can be sure it's 100% safe to drive.  Should keep me busy anyway!

				Keep us up to date with pix and progress please, love to see 72-74 cars get some exposure.........
If I remember right my yellow 72 was parked next to that at last years Nats in the show area where it got all the attention, nobody looked at mine

				One of my ideas was to buy that car and make it into a T/A "clone" (keeping the '73 front and rear) using a stroked small block and Hotchkis suspension. Make it look a bit like the XV Challenger.
Good luck with it.
