THE BUYER'S JOURNEY
Everything a collector or adviser needs to know about contacting the Motown Missile Challenger project team, seeing the car in person and placing an inquiry — set out in the order it actually happens, with the parts that are still undecided labelled as such.
Short answer
You cannot buy this car on this website. The route is: read the sources, place an inquiry, talk with a member of the project team, and — if that conversation is mutual — view the car privately. Any eventual sale runs through an appointed auction specialist, which is still to be announced for the tentative Q1 2027 target window. An inquiry costs nothing, creates no obligation, and is not a bid.
The five stages
Read the record first
Before anybody discusses money, read what the car's file actually says. The collector briefing is a short PDF you can keep and print. The Collector Guides explain identity, engineering history, provenance and sale preparation in plain language. The Missile Files holds the owner-supplied booklet synopsis, the 1971 Super Stock story and the 2010 Mopar Action article.

The inquiry form is the main door, and it takes two short steps. First: your name, email and country, plus whether you come as a collector, an adviser or media. Second: what you actually want, with optional phone number, preferred language, timing and a message. When it stores successfully you are shown a receipt reference — keep it, and quote it in later correspondence.
Request collector informationAsk for auction updatesTalk to a person
A stored inquiry alerts the project team for authorised review. There is no automatic confirmation sent to collectors, so the reply you receive comes from a named person rather than a system, at the pace of a private project. Ask anything: what documentation survives, what has been inspected, what is still an open verification item, and what the owner-supplied sources do and do not establish.
See the car
Viewings are arranged individually, not at public open houses. Time with the car itself, with the booklet and source material behind this site, and with the people who know its history. Bringing an independent specialist is encouraged rather than merely permitted. A viewing is a chance to inspect; it is not a bid, a registration or a commitment.
How private viewings are arrangedThe sale itself
The car is targeted for a specialist private auction in Q1 2027 — tentative. The auction partner is to be announced and the exact date to be confirmed. When a specialist is appointed, its own listing, registration, bidding and sale terms take over, and that is where any transaction happens. This website takes no bids, no deposits and no bidder registrations, and it will never ask for bank documents, identity files or proof of funds.

How to contact us
Three routes reach the same team. The form is the most reliable because it is stored securely and issues a receipt reference you can quote back. Direct email works if you would rather keep everything in your own inbox. Telephone is fine for a first question, though a written inquiry carries more detail.

What you can and cannot do here
You can
- Read the owner-supplied sources and the guides at no cost.
- Place an inquiry and receive a receipt reference.
- Ask for a private viewing at an individually arranged time.
- Bring your own independent specialist or adviser to that viewing.
- Ask to be told when the auction partner and date are confirmed.
You cannot
- Buy, reserve or bid on the car here — no sale mechanism exists on this site.
- Pay a deposit or transfer money to anyone claiming to act for the car.
- Register as a bidder before a specialist partner has been announced.
- Obtain a price, reserve or valuation from this website — none is published or quoted.
- Treat the owner's account as an independent authentication or a current inspection.
SOURCE NOTE · Ownership and history statements come from owner-supplied material, chiefly the Proof 10 booklet synopsis. That is the owner's account, presented as supplied — not an independent authentication, and not a current mechanical inspection.
What we ask for — and what we never ask for
An inquiry asks for your name, email address and country, and how you are involved. Optionally: a phone number, your preferred language, when you would like to view, and any context you want to give. Budget is a "discuss privately" option, not a number you must type. Occasional updates are a separate, unchecked consent box — saying yes to that is not required to make an inquiry.
We never ask for bank details, copies of identity documents, proof of funds, deposits or card numbers through this site. If anyone presenting themselves as connected to the Motown Missile Challenger asks you for any of those, treat it as a warning sign and tell the project team.
Common questions
Do I need an account to enquire?
No. The form works without one. A collector account only lets you review inquiries you have already filed, and is not required at any stage.
How quickly will I hear back?
There is no automatic reply and no promised turnaround, so the first response comes from a person after authorised review. If nothing has arrived after a week, write again or telephone — the receipt reference helps.
Can I get a price or an estimate now?
No price, reserve or expectation is published or quoted here, and nobody representing this project should give you one privately either. Commercial terms arrive with the appointed specialist's own process once that partner and the date are confirmed.
