Newbie from NY
« on: December 07, 2014 - 12:46:46 AM »
It's been over 25 years since I had to sell my 70 TA Challenger. I really miss that car! Marriage and family was a priority. I just got back in the game with a '73 Challenger with a fresh '71 vintage 440 six pack and a 727 auto. Needless to say I'm a Mopar fan lovin life! :wavingflag:

Thanks Guys! I'm in Eastern Long Island, NY. Mopar is surely in the DNA for most of us! I remember seeing a Challenger when i was a kid. I thought i was looking at a fighter jet! The lines of the car were so streamlined and sharp, it looked like it was doing 100 mph sitting there! It was quite a radical design for the time and I've been hooked ever since. I'll post some pics soon, no TA pics though... that was before digital cameras existed. CHEERS!   :cheers:
