Went for a drive to see my first love...

So that was the car that started my love affair with Challengers.  My cousin did have pictures of it, but lost them somehow.  Today after church I took the short drive to go and snap a pic from the road.  It was gone!  I was really sad, almost shed a tear.   :crying: :'(

 :grinno:
But I am kinda happy that it isnt there, maybe its getting the treatment it deserves.  He probably went and sold it cheap, too.   :poopoke: :walkaway:

Mixed feelings.  I might not see it again.  I'll give him a call sometime.   :-\

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

I asked him a few times, no was always the answer.  The guy is a body shop guy, close to 50 now, so its not like he doesnt have the ability to bring it back.  Man, what a car, too.  I still havent called him, kinda forgot.   :-[
