Here are a few pics of my 70 that Ive had for 12 years (except for 3 years that my father in law had it while I waited to get my liscense back for doing 150 down the main street)
It use to have a go wing on it(father in law added it) I couldnt stand it since I molded in a T/A spolier years ago and I think it looks cleaner. I would post more but I dropped the camera and its screwed up now. I just put the stripes and hood decal on yesterday.
When im not driving my challenger im driving my 41 Packard or my 69 charger which is still in the shop getting a new trans.

No it had crome bumpers, I shaved them and had them powder coated. I will post some better pics when I get a new camera.

I dig the painted bumpers and white scheme.

I don't know if I'd have the balls to go all white, but you definitely went all the way. Just enough black there to set it off and keep it interesting.

After drooling more...  :droolingbounce:

   I really like the blackened hood.  :thumbsup: I wish the Go-wing was on there instead of the T/A style spoiler though. Just my opinion.  :smokin:

Very nice looking car, I think it looks better with the spoiler you have now, (never been a fan of the go-wing).

71R/T will have the go wing soon, I never liked them reminds me of a mach1 or a wannabe daytona or superbird, the ta spoiler does its job over 100 and doesnt take away from the lines of the car. It was all white for the last 12 years and the stripes have been sitting in a box so I figured it was time to put them on, now its pandalized like all my other cars, makes my wife of 28 years happy. shes the reason for the pandamarie handle.

This car was restored by me 10 years ago and used as a daily driver for all but 3 of those years that the state said I couldnt drive, Im real happy with it, it polishs up nice and after 10 years of hard driving the 440 6 pack motor is still going strong.

 :2thumbs: Great looking car, that black stripe down the side, and blacked out hood really looks good against that white paint.
