OK NOW I PUT DOWN WHAT I MEANT TO BEFORE. 340. WHOOPS
new guy here, Hoping that I could get a couple questions answered by some of you guys that will know way more about this than I do. here we go.
Im A 26 year old veteran, and I just got back to my home state of TX. I always knew that once I was gonna be in one place long enough to enjoy it, and work on it I would get an old Mopar. I recently came across a 73 challenger with the original 340 in it. The motor has low miles since being rebuilt, and the restoration is a little dated, but looks good. If everything goes according to plan, I will be buying the car ASAP.
so heres my question. this car Has the original 340 in it, and a pistol grip 4 speed tranny. It was restored as a father son project a few years ago, and they did a good job on it, but they guy flat out told me he has no idea if it was originally an RT or Rallye , because when he got it she was a total wreck, and had never cared or bothered to check all three VIN numbers. He has informed me that the # on the body and motor do match. What are the odds of this originally being an RT or Rallye with that year/motor/tranny package? Im gonna buy her any way cause the price is right for me, and she will need minimal updating(mostly interior) so i can start enjoying her. IF she was an RT/ Rallye originally, I would want to have her badged correctly etc. any help you can offer is appreciated ! thanks in advance!!
