Hi folks,

I just took delivery of a '70 Challenger "Western Sport Special" over this past weekend, and stumbled onto this forum while searching he internet for info on it. My car is B7 blue with a blue interior and (once had) a white vinyl top. She came with a 318/auto, 14" Magnum 500 wheels, a bench seat w/ fold down armrest (weird!), and factory AC. She's been stored outdoors so the top was shredded & the paint is toast, but she's straight and there's remarkably little rust. The sad part is that I inherited this car from my sister who is terminally ill, so I need to do it justice.

This isn't my first Mopar (I've owned a 340 Duster for 21 years), but I'm on the fence as to what I should do with her. Are these "Western Sport Special" models collectible at all? I'm planning to restore the body & interior back to stock, but I'd really like to yank the 318 for something with more grunt. I've got both a 360 & a 440 lurking in the garage...hmmm, decisions, decisions...

Anyway, I look forward to meeting you all!
