I know not an A body but Looking for a 1970 Challenger sold on the E bodies forum

[DJones942013]

I'm looking for my grandfathers old Challenger he sold roughly 10 years ago that was sold on For E Bodies Only about a year and a half ago. The cars last location I know was Martinsburg, WV. The cars VIN is JH23G0B213066. It was originally a 318 4spd car but when my grandfather bought it, it had a 383 slapstick which as far as i know is still in it. My grandfather was the one who restored it in the early 90's and sold it in the early 2000's. The owner after my grandfather had it in his garage and it got flooded with water above the center console. Detailed features of the car is it was FC7 Plum Crazy Purple, had a rally dash, salt and pepper inserts in the seats, there is no fender tag to it and wasn't when my grandpa bought it. The rear valence panel does not have exhaust tip holes cut into it because it was originally a low grade car and it has round exhaust tips. Also the license plate on the front is white and says "Plum Crazy Challenger." Also there is a V8 emblem Below the Challenger emblem on the fenders and there are turn signal lights on the tops of the front fenders to show the driver which turn signal is on. The last picture I seen, It had bigger torque thrust wheels and the last known owner changed the ignition over to a full MSD system. The most noticeable feature of my grandfather restoration of the car is that he put the original clutch pedal under the carpet encase someone wanted to change it to a 4 spd again. Being a standard transmission car from the factory, the brake pedal is narrow and should still be currently. I've been trying to track the car down for about 4 years now and finally caught a break when I saw the old ad on The E Bodies Forum. The title is "1970 Challenger 383" on the "cars for sale" on For E Bodies Only forum. You will see a picture of it in the ad. Any information on the car would be greatly appreciated, you can PM me if you know anything. Thank you

I appreciate all the help from you all on here. I already have the guys email, phone and business address. I've sent him a message on the forum and a personal email and havn't heard anything. I'm gonna send him another message in the next day or two if i don't hear anything from him.

Do you have the spouse's name and phone number too?
I have 3 phone numbers. PM if you don't already have them and want them.

Good luck with your endeavor. One quick question. If/when you find it, are you ready to make a financial move on it? Since the last asking price was $18k, it has to be in that ballpark (possibly a little more).

 

[DJones942013]

Well, my grandfather, the one that restored the car would like to have it back if i found it. So hes the one that would be purchasing the car. I'm just trying to find it for him because he doesn't have internet access and I posted on here because I've seen other post and noticed that everyone on here is extremely helpful in most cases.

I live in the area and have never seen this car. It could be anywhere, even overseas. If I see it I`ll let you know. good luck

Another person on the B Body forum told me him and his wife saw a plum crazy 70 Challenger about 2 months ago and they don't live to far from Martinsburg. But thank you for keeping your eye out for me. It means a lot to me and my grandfather. hes wanted it back for about 2 years now, I'd love to be able to tell him i found its current location and owners. I'm going to the Mopar Nationals and if i dont find it by then I'm going to look up there.
