...the "Pink Panther" gets out for a photo shoot today...
« on: September 19, 2013 - 01:23:14 AM »

...I bought this car the first time in 1988, kept it for quite a few years and gave it to my daughter...she eventually sold it to a friend of mine, a couple of years ago he passed away and I bought the car from his family...I won't give it away a second time

...original FM3 "Panther Pink" Challenger T/A, 45K miles, 340 6-PACK, AT...one of the nicest cars I have ever owned, matching numbers, B-cast sheets etc etc

...first off, the battery was dead
...cemetary is always good for some undisturbed pictures

...a couple of weeks ago, the T/A was at the doctors office for a few minor adjustments, prognosis was good, they said it should be around at least another 43 years...and it got home from the doctor just in time for an extended photo shoot with a pretty girl

Very nice car. It's not often enough that one can find a car they previously owned, much less be able to buy it back. Great car!

...thanx for the kind comments guys  :bigsmile:

...yes, it is my garage (part of it)

...I have several cars I have owned 2 times, I have found that if you are lucky enough to get old enough, they all eventually come around again, just gotta be patient :roflsmiley:
