This is Steve's car over at www.paintshop101.com, this thing has been massively massaged; new qtrs, widened if you look closely, tubbed, and slammed about 5 inches. He surgically lowered the car body onto it's unibody frame rails; keeping the suspension geometry the same in the process. Amazing.

Also, my pulse picked up a bit seeing two new Pink Challenger Classics! Also, this is (in the A12 registry) car #1 (according to the owner), and, he wants to sell it for 55K to score on a Superbird! To me, 55K seems pretty good price? He said he bought it in 99 for 18K! Where's that time machine!!!!

I,d like to have the 68 charger..My wife would look good in a pink challenger!!!I have,nt seen that color here yet...Thats o.k. though!!!
 
Car #1 was several different colors. It started out as (ashamed to say I forget) one color, then the factory had it repainted. But the original color could still be seen above the doors. Also the engine compartment wasn't the second body color
 
Hey 69, so, from what I've said, you can verify this is car #1 in this registry? Wow, cool! Send/post that link here please, interesting. The car and owner lives here in San Antonio, he said he had it on ebay a few weeks ago; no luck selling it there.
 
Also, there was a 'Superbird' at the show, he had a paper covering up the VIN in the window, and, the doors were 68 vintage as the lock knob was close to where the door closed. How I know this...well, my GTX thread I scored a 68 GTX door, and the locks are in diff locations that the 69. I don't know if for 70 B Body locks were moved back to the 68 location -- or, this car just is wrong when the owner build it/repaired it, or, made a clone out of a donor car? Here's some pics, what you all think?

And, didn't Superbirds have a cover or some sort of large trim piece on the front of the A Pillar? I took this pic 10 yrs ago in Austin of another Superbird, and the A Pillar seems to have a larger/wider piece covering the front of the A Pillar? And, I've also observed this in other Superbird pics. To me, it really matters not too much as long as it's stated it's a clone, and, my penchant for spelling, and being as correct as possible if that's what's at stake -- correctness. Cool car nonetheless.

I was talking about the first car built....the one in the magazine test. IF this is THAT car, then it has been restored again, and has been painted all one color.
 
I wasn't going to go there...but, I could tell it was a repaint on top of paint, etc. I can tell, media blasting cars really cleans up the lines, this car looks to not have been blasted. totally forgot about the vinyl tops on all Superbirds!
 
Do you know why the locks were moved in 69? Bad move IMO especially for the ones who like to drive with the windows down and arm on the door lol. Thanks for the pics!

The car in question does appear to be the #1 car on the registry. It is not however the Pilot car from the ads. The pilot car belongs to a buddy of mine Henry George. It was painted red at the factory and then painted butterscotch by Chrysler. Henrys dad bought the car in 69 or early 70 with a couple of thousand miles on it. It wasn't until Henry restored it and they found the build sheet that they knew it was anything special. They never knew why the engine bay was red along with some other areas on the car descovered during the resto. The car has a great history. It is a vinyl top buckets console 4spd. I have a copy of the buildsheet. Car #1 on the reg. is an auto. here's the registry link.
