The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Board member Erkkiots sent me this message but I thought it would be better off here where you can all see it. Dave-R

Hello!

I send some pictures.

Nowadays I sell new cars daily, before it I have been car journalist. In 1990 when I was only 20, I wrote a story about rare american cars in Estonia (totally about 15 pcs in hole country). The most interesting was 70 challenger, that was somehow by one sailor imported to USSR, and how the new owner swapped the slant six into Pontiac's 350!

In 2002 after long thinking and collecting money I went to look (and buy:) the car; it was sold to Sweden 2 month before it.

Then I started to look for one from states. This is Californian car, imported from LA last autumn.

The dutch dealer however swapped grill and rear panel into '71, removed vinyl top, detatched flip-top etc some not so nice surprises...Also amateur flames were added for some demo, where he rented the car out.
So I'm not so happy about details.

The car is numbers matching # 383 2bbl, bench seat (if original, then quite rare?) + on the column and factory AC. No original title, no build sheet. R/T hood probably lately attached.

I add pictures as in LA and as now. Today I'm fixing roof liner, door hinges etc
If anybody can help with grill and rear panel (can get 71 in change, if needed), chrome list in front of the bonnet and Cragar hubcap and with electric & wiring schems, I will be very grateful!

Hope to hit the road in few weeks.
I've arranged pecial plates "70CHR" - it will be nice touch for the one and only Challenger in Baltic states!

And I managed to dig up another old thread while searching the Paul Rossi Chally

I think Erkki wouldn't mind if I post couple of pics of his car here.
I've seen the car and even got to sit in it. It's and awesome feeling to sit in a Chally for the first time. I felt like I was on top of the world.
Anyways now the pictures...

Hi!
Sorry no I was not looking information. I was inputing information
But I never say no when someone offers some new info. And I love to read about such Challengers as this Rossi's and other historical cars and survivors.
Well my email is pj@hot.ee if you're willing to share something. I'd be glad.

PS! I'd sent this directly to your email but I wanted to say that Dave or JR should move these last two posts where they belong - A Historical race car.

Thank you,
Sten

Växellåda: Automat
Bränsle: Bensin
Dodge Challenger 1970 med matching numbers 383 big block motor, 727 låda, Edelbrock förgasare och insug. Bilen är i bra skick i plåt, invändigt och under samt i motorrum. En så här fin bil är dock värd en bättre lack än flames! Något jag ej har råd med, därför provar jag att sälja bilen.
Bilen har en konverterad AC men denna verkar behöva fyllas på eller ses över.
Jag importerade bilen från Estland i våras, bilen togs till Estland från Los Angeles 2004.
OBS! Någon har bytt grill och baklysen till 1971 men en fin 70:as komplett bakljusramp medföljer. Ev kan en 70:as grill också medfölja. Nya bakdäck som ej är monterade medföljer.
