I have seen this car numerous times and it is in very good condition, an older restoration but a very nicely built car. Whether the price is attainable I don't really know...

Chargers / Chalkengers were always six figure cars. Sign on the economic times!

Wow, that was my first real Mopar.
I bought and restored that car in the mid 90's, sold it a few years later and then tried to buy it back early 2000's, with no luck.
It is a genuine 340 Rally with 2 build sheets, very original car form the Transvaal way back.
That Challenger got me hooked on Mopars in the days :D :D

I'll be happy to provide some info if he buys the car.
I have a stack of pics I took during the resto, also an article that was in MoparAction about the car when I owned it in the 90's.
I include a pic stripped and afterwards. it was a stripe delete car

A friend of mine bought a Gallardo for R800 000 the other day. The car needed a new clutch, which he replaced for something like R35k.

So, I started wondering...

What would the train of thought be for someone deciding on which car to buy, the Gallardo or the above Mopar collectible ?

Pieter, I had to google Gallardo, had no idea what it was. 8O :oops:
Such different cars, me, I'll stick to a classic Mopar, never been one for fancy cars
This Challenger can run for ever and will never cost much to maintain
