15 years ago it was like the Wild West on here, these days, tumbleweed….
Must admit I racked up all my posts back then - I’ve been through a lull but trying to be back a bit now - but I only check here every couple of days- used to be couple of times an hr !
But forums are a bit like that - busy breeds busy.
I assumed you’d all migrated to facetube…
I've been told that Facebook is great for sourcing parts so I probably should sign up just for that. I've gone to sign up a couple of times now but just couldn't do it!

That Challenger looks nice for the money. Still a lot of money (3 times more than Ive ever paid for any car ) but relatively speaking, in the 'a bit affordable' category
Yes looks a good price and super rare Western Sports Special, but none original engine (unless he's made a mistake and it's a 340). The 1970 was never available with a 360, that only became available on the Challenger in 1974.
Yes facebook groups are where the parts are these days, it’s also scam central so you need to be careful. Unfortunately it’s where all the traffic is these days so specific forums have become quiet because of it. It’s pretty difficult to continue in the hobby these days without it to be honest.

Its a shame really that Facebook is taking over everything and I had heard that there are a lot of scams etc on there. I just dont trust any of it and as I dont need any of it, Im happy to just plod along in my own World. Theres a very small harbour village near me and Im told there is a huge Facebook fight going on there over a planning issue. Grown adults slinging public insults at each other but apparently not even acknowledging it face to face. Very strange behaviour.
Anyway, my pal in Canada sent me this recently, a bit more on thread. Lovely looking car and if genuine, I guess rare and desireable. Think the equivilent is about £75k as I think its 2:1 on Canadian dollars to UK pound...

You make some good points Blue.
I think if I was to buy anything through Facebook I'd go and collect it in person before parting with any cash.
I’ve bought plenty of parts through Facebook, mostly in the UK but occasionally from the States, mostly without issue, only been caught once and that was party due to my own haste. Most scammers lift photos from old adverts so asking for a photo including a piece of paper with the sellers name and date on usually weeds them out.
