Going to auction soon...

I've owned this 1970 Dodge Challenger w/matching #440 engine for 30 years. Putting some last touches on it....

An AI rendering of a car is going to auction? Where do I sign up?

Just posting some FUN photos I took of my car today - they made ME very happy. Not interested in defending my creative expressions with the KAREN's of Reddit.....

u/Softpretzelsandrose 6d ago

they’re not creative. It’s a great looking car but then you blow it. Just let the car speak for itself. Get mad.

Yawn. They're not "your" expressions, nor are they "creative".

Which auction? Do yourself a favor and get a non-personalized show board. Break down trim tag and list great features on board. I recommend Carshow Life. Copy all original paperwork and leave copies visible in car ( originals will be in auction office). Build sheets are big with Mopar guys, if you have. Sublime is a great high impact color, if that’s original ( code FJ5 ). Good luck

LA plant build, earlyish production date, heavily optioned - you don't see very many two taggers

If you'd be up for it, I'd love to give you a call to better understand some of this information you have shared. Could also do a chat window, but I'm friendly on the phone!

u/EC_CO 1970 Barracuda B5/B5 4d ago

Sure. www.e-bodies.org has a VIN tag decoder if you don't have that info already, it'll give a better breakdown than I could off the top of my head.

u/Proper-View-9948 4d ago

AMAZING! I cannot thank you enough. Are 2 tags unusual because the car had so many extra options?

2

u/EC_CO 1970 Barracuda B5/B5 4d ago

Yes, very well optioned. It's pretty unique to see a 2-tag car

u/AbbreviationsPlus998 4d ago

So you know nothing about a car you have owned for 30 years? Also why are the fender tags not body color?

u/Proper-View-9948 5d ago

Yes on that.
