Out For A Ride
« on: July 14, 2012 - 04:33:11 PM »
Went out for a ride the other day, decided to get some pictures of the cars together. First time we really went out cruising with the AAR since we got it back, had some metal work redone and complete repaint. Unfortunately, the AAR jumped my challenger for priority at the shop, so the ebodys aren't back together yet  :'(.

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

The cars looks great!  :thumbsup:

Maybe it's the angle but the Cuda looks bigger than the Charger for some reason.  Is it?  I don't think this is the first time I thooght this with the E vs B bodies...  :dunno:
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.

Thanks, and I agree about the Cuda looking wider than the Charger in the second picture. It's obvious having the cars next to each other that the Charger is longer but it must be the angle of the charger not matching the Cuda for the second picture making the Cuda appear wider.

Here's the specifications of the cars if you were wondering,
1970Cuda-
Wheelbase: 108 in
Width: 74.9 in
Length: 186.7 in

1969Charger-
Wheelbase: 117 in
Width: 76.7 in
Length: 207.9 in
1970 Challenger SE - in the shop for metal work.
1970 'Cuda AAR - driving till the Chally gets back.

Those are two fine examples, to be sure! I like the AAR , but that big B body has always had an allure to it, for me. You're a lucky guy, enjoy!  :2thumbs:
