"The infamous “Black Ghost” 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T SE Hemi 4-speed, that sold for $1,072,500.00 back in May of 2023.It then underwent a restoration of sorts.The car wasn’t stripped down to bare metal and then painted like most restorations.It instead had the dings and dents taken out of the paint and trim with a paintless dent-removal technique.The rust in the floors and rockers were replaced with donor parts from other Challengers and original carpet that was in good condition was placed over it.The engine was also finally fully-rebuilt after years of sitting in sludge.The factory bubble wrap on the passenger and rear seats were discarded as was the tow hitch the original owner had put on it to tow his motorcycles to the track."

Frank Badalson and his crew will preserve what can be and repair and replace everything else. The owner wants full disclosure and admire him for that. Most restorations you don't see the details. Nice to see some progress...
