Welcome!  :wave:

I like the fat rear tires in the second pic.  Those aren't the same tires/rims as are in the first pic are they?  They look like old bias ply fatty tires...
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.

True, When I first bought the Car it had a set Of 15x10 Rear 15x3 (?)Center line Knock offs with old Bias ply N50 tires.
They were really old and cracked althought the tread was perfect. They barely made it home before they went flat.
I also put a set of M50 14" road`wheels for a while to move it around the yard.
The following pics are of the day I picked it up

Nice!  Love that look!  Looks like it was ready for some track time!  Too bad they went flat.

Looked chilly when you got your car home!  I got my car in November.  After about 2 hours driving down from New Hampshire to Massachusetts, I got off the highway to wash the car to pretty it up when the wife first saw it.   Wouldn't you know all the soap suds froze to the car it was so cold!  Car look like crap when she saw it the first time.  Plus it wouldn't start to get it off the trailer...  :faint: 

I know, I impressed the wife....

Ive had it for over a year now . It hadn't run or been registered since 1983. I found a carb for it replaced all the brakes, calipers, hoses, lines, fuel pump, carb, water pump, 2 freeze plugs etc. and fired her up.

the interior was all there but in boxes. the seats had been recovered at one point and never installed but they all dry cracked the first time i sat in them.
I swapped out the seized woodgrain shifter for a '71 slapstick t-handle.
It has some crazy gears in it. I think they're 3:91 or 410(?) . Not much use on the highway

Since then ive been just cruising in it occasionally. If it werent for the rusty QP's id just leave and drive it as a beat up survivor but I think I'll do a basic driver resto. I enjoy the fact that I can take this car anywhere and not worry about .
