Hi y’all! I am so glad to be in with this group!!!! This car was my uncle’s when he was younger and she has been outside for a long time. Just got her to her new home and am so excited to start restoring her. She has no motor, does have transmission. I have no clue where to even start with this so any suggestions are appreciated!!

Welcome aboard! Looks like it has good bones, perhaps just a good power wash for the outside.
What's the inside like?
Does it have the fender tag, if so send us the picture so we can see what options it has.

Welcome from NY.
We got a few folks around here with that generation Charger.

Welcome to FBBO from Ontario. Good luck with your Charger project. Thanks for your pictures.
Now the fun starts. Body looks pretty good. It is like a blank canvas make it like you want it. Or go original. Keep us up to date.

My advice is start with the brakes.
You have to be able to stop before you start.
Small block or Big block car? (5th letter in the VIN#)
I don't see any emblems on the side of the front fender.

The front windows are down and I can’t roll them up. I’m going to try to mess with them this weekend then definitely a power wash. The seats need to be redone or replaced. This is a dumb question but where is fender tag located?
I think it was a 318. And yes, breaks sound like a great place to start! Thank you
I was talking about the emblem on the front fender between the wheel and the door about halfway up.
If you open the drivers door and look towards the lower hinge you should see a VIN tag.

Welcome! I love those early Chargers! I’d start by pulling the seats and especially the carpets to see if the floors can be saved.

You now own a first generation Charger. That is awesome. Get ready for a journey. Seriously, you'll be amazed at the knowledge and friends you'll gain! As to your question starting off....hmmmm....here's some advice:
Look around your garage/shop and decide where this necessary sign will go...
