Original Western Sports Special limited production Challenger (see data provided from tag). Challenger has bucket seats and console plus rare rim blow steering wheel plus all options that form part of WSS package. Engine runs strong, car shifts and has brakes but front suspension needs work. Has original 14 inch Ralley wheels and all original body panels. Needs rust repair to trunk floor, top of rear window and bottom of doors - all rust repair is minor except trunk repair. Inside floors are good (see photo). Challenger has new correct seat upholstery redone in black with new seat foam.
Good Challenger at a reasonable price.
