    Congrats on your upcoming anniversary! That's a nice looking car and you've kept it in tip top shape! Mind me asking where you got the rallye emblems? I like the actual date, too- it's the birthday of my sons.  :cheers:

    Congrats  :woohoo:

    Do you mind providing some history of what you know before you purchased it and since you have purchased it?

    The emblems are from a 1972 Opel Kadett Rallye.

    This car was purchased from a lady in Antioch,Ca. by the second owner in 1986.It was a family members car and sat in a backyard for a few years.The second owner kept it as a daily driver until 1991.The third owners didn't keep it long and sold it in mid '91 to the fourth owner,who brought it to San Diego and used it as a daily driver.My wife and I found it for sale in the SD Auto Trader in June 1995 and purchased it for $4800.

    This Challenger is driven weekly.During the car show/cruise night season it gets about 80-100 miles a week,and in the off season I try and drive it around at least 15 miles a week.

    Congratulations on 20 years of ownership.
    Your one of the rare few and I hope you have another 20+ fun filled years ahead with your Chally.
    I purchased my Cuda when I was 22 years old and still have it going on 30 years.

    Beautiful car !  I can't imagine how you keep it so clean and actually drive it !  I've owned mine since '70 or '71  and it wasn't that clean and sharp when I bought it  congrats
