Please Read: This is without a doubt, one of the nicest all around cars I have ever had. I recently purchased this car from a retired gentleman that had no intention of ever selling it, but now has leukemia and is undergoing treatment and has had little time to enjoy it. The quality of workmanship and attention to detail in this car is amazing! Built to show (and an incredible show car!)  but have the guts to back it up! Not only is this one of the fastest stock looking muscle cars on the street, it also drives the best! A real testament to the way it was built, you can drive this car relaxed all day long with 2 fingers; it is that tight and well behaved. And, it has the looks as well thanks to the $7000 paint job! It is perfectly straight and gorgeous! And to top it all off, the underside looks as good as the top! The un-cut original floors are perfect! This car was always an Arizona car and it shows. While originally not an R/T, it was built from the ground up to be one. Starting with a rust free Arizona Challenger and an R/T donor car, it was built up bolt by bolt to what you see now. The R/T donated the correct suspension, rear-end, transmission, springs, stabilizers, etc.. The 440 was built for not only speed, but to be very streetable and idle all day in the Arizona heat. Built by Tough-Enuf  in Phoenix, they achieved that goal with incredible results. Here is some of what has been done:

And to top it all off, the car was sent in for a beautiful $7000 paint job in Lime Green. It is really a beautiful job and perfectly straight! All of the body gaps and alignments on this car are incredible. The hood and spoilers are done in the correct 'crinkle' finish and look incredible. This car is incredibly fast, yet it is difficult to believe how well it drives; it's like driving a late model car. It is very tight and handles incredible. Now having all the correct suspension and drive train components, it really is an R/T with just a wrong letter in the vin. An incredible amount of time and money has gone into this car and it shows! (There are also 3 folders of receipts that go with the car.) No expense was spared in the creation of this extremely fine Challenger. A real show-stopper anywhere it goes, both from the looks and the incredible sound the 3" exhaust and turbo mufflers provide.
