« on: August 27, 2006 - 05:00:02 PM »
Hello from Reno NV..I have been a member for bit now, just not many posts..i have had chargers,polaras and a cuda and a few c bodys in the past..My car now is a 70 dodge challenger with a SLANT 6 and console with buckets.90k org miles..It came from the LA plant has the "0E" in the number..numbers matching..Daily driver.."work in progress" and fun to drive...its a lot of fun to goto the car shows and show off the car because a lot of people think that all the slant 6,s were pulled out and v-8,s droped in..i thought i would show it off to everybody now..thanks cuda-challenger.com for letting me show off my car..thanks adam

i know the SUPER SIX setup and header is not original..but it sure makes a big differance in performance and MPG. 14 in town and 19 on the highway..(i still have the original air cleaner,1 barrel carb and manifold) just put on the shelf.

Welcome to the site, Adam!!! :wave:  That's pretty cool your car came with a slant from the factory.  People under-estimate the potential those little engines have when done properly. :2thumbs:

Welcome Adam.  :wave:

I will be in Vegas next month....  how far from Reno is that?
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.
