Mopars i have known...
« on: December 12, 2003 - 04:30:59 PM »
The day i sold my first Challenger.  :'(  My idea of a 73 Challenger T/A. Had a built genuine T/A 6-pack. Was great fun on the interstate kicking down twice with 3.23's.  8)

My 70 340/Auto A66 Challenger before being restified back to the original colors. B5/B5/White BumbleBee Stripe and purchased for $300  :o :o :o. Yup, those are the original 15" Rallyes. The one i drove back and forth to Marietta during the spring of '90 looking for work while living with some friends. The Big Chicken (local landmark) became my compass  ;D

They're located in Lansing. I believe a new website is being created at musclemotorsracing.com  ::) All the major Mopar mags carry thier one page ad.

P.G.,

I should have taken your advice back at last year's Nats and got out cheap. Boxes are arriving almost every other day. Inline Tube, Paddock, Legendary, and of course ebay. Sort of like Christmas every other day  ;D.
If by some miracle it's fully painted by Carlisle, that would be great but more than likely it will be several shades of primer. Back to the point though, the more complete it is the more i'll hate to see it go but my RT/SE is the keeper. On the other hand a 73 driver sounds nice... ::)
