Hey! I’m in the Cumberland area. I’m actually part of the FEBO crowd (Challenger here) but lurk on the other For Only’s now and then to see if there is anything being sold that may interest me.

Not too far from Frederick then, where we’ve had some meets. Would love more pics / history of your Chally?

Sure! Bought it at Mecum in 2016 for $15k. Found out when I drove it home that it was going to need a new trunk pan. One thing led to another finding stuff hidden, wrong, and rotted that I completely tore it down and restored it.

Took around 4 and a half to 5 years. I had never welded, did body work, painted etc. before doing this car but was on a mission to say that I restored a car which included doing the interior in my basement, painting the car outside like the old hot rod days, and doing the vinyl top when no upholsters in the are would lol.

Did a lot of reading, studying, watching youtube, and taking pictures of restored Ebodies at Carlisle.

It’s painted in GreenGo, has a date correct 340, with 3.91 gears. Fender tag and build sheet are both intact.
