I bought back my Parents 1969 Plymouth RR

..My parents were the original owners and sold it when I started driving in 1987..the car was never re-titled and sat for about 25 years. I have the ORIGINAL window stickers, the bill of sale from Lindgren Chrysler Plymouth in Lancaster, PA, my Dad's signatures, etc. It's a RM23 Lynch Road 383 /335, ivy green, air grabber, 4 speed manual, 3.23 HD torsion bars, light package, sure grip rear, springs, etc.. All original, numbers matching, down to the shifter handle. I have the original wheels, which were 14 inch chrome road wheels. It has 69,000 miles..I have the build sheet, the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle installment contract and DMV papers. I have all the original envelopes and warranty papers that were in the glove box when new. My Mom kept EVERYTHING, luckily.

She's a little worn for wear, and I am in the market for a reputable restoration facility. I am not cost conscious. My Dad passed away two weeks ago, and saw pictures of it but I was not able to get it transported before he passed. It is all there, just needs a complete resto. I want it to be the way it was when he bought it.



I am located in mid Maryland, but I am willing to transport the car anywhere in the country. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure to take a lot of pictures and start a thread. We love seeing any and all Mopars going from worn out to beautiful.

Well...it's been a slow process. Unfortunately, the gentleman performing the restoration was killed in an accident, and I'm left with a trailer full of parts, a primed car on a rotisserie, and no where to take it to be completed. Does anyone have a suggestion for a Mopar restoration facility, top notch? No expenses are being spared.
