    Nope, 4th or 5th. I bought from a guy whose wife had passed. It hadn't been driven in 5 years because the trans was shot (so he thought). He started it every once in a while, backed it out of the garage and then put it back. I knew him and when he told me he wanted to sell, I offered to help him find a top dollar buyer. Then he told me how much he wanted. I bought it. The trans needed a new pan gasket and a quick rebuild. Cost me $200 to fix. Then I spent a month detailing inside and out.

    I would felt bad about the deal I got but I know how he got it. He traded a '75 Corvette. Got the Challenger and some cash. At that time Corvettes were much more valuable than Mopars.

    I had the Challenger's sister car- a 1971 Plymouth 340 'Cuda. I still miss it, but my SRT helps to ease the pain.
