This was a BH23N0B ( one of 464 ) I found for $300 in 1981. Drove it 25 miles home at night in the dead of winter with a missing driverside window and no heat. Factory lemon twist,black bucket seat interior,column auto. Bought a shaker bubble and baseplate for $100. Had lower qtrs. and B5 Acrylic enamel paint done in 1983 for $500. MoPars were a cheap hobby in the early 80's.

My second Challenger, I bought this one in 1978. I don't have photos of the first one but it was a B5/X9, 71 R/T 383 4 speed with houndstooth interior.

Not an E body but this was my first musclecar in 1976. 440 GTX, I've always liked them looking pretty much original. I had to remove lots of kiddie mods from this car.

I restored this HemiCuda in the late 90's. Options were Hemi, 4 speed, tinted glass, console and Super Track Pak. No radio or other options were needed. The FJ6 Cuda was a 440+4 that ended up in Quebec.

1970 Triple Black 'Cuda that I factory ordered from the dealer in Oct of 1969.  383 Magnum, 4-speed w/console, 3.55 limited slip rear, Rallye Gauges, front Elastomeric bumper, Fog Lamps, Hood Pins, AM/FM Stereo Multi-plex radio with rear speakers and fader, rear window defogger,  A/C but no P/S (don't ask), stripe delete, tinted glass.  $4200 OTD. I knew I was going to put 5 spoke mags on it so I ordered it with 15" dog dish steelies with E60X15 Goodyear Polyglass tires. After installing the mag wheels, I had the tire shop throw the OEM steelies and dog dish caps in the trash.   :pullinghair:  I sold the 'Cuda three years later in the height of the gas crisis for $2800 and was glad to get it.  Tried to find it again several years later but never could. It's probably had several different lives as a beer can since.

"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.

I'm guessing this is from 1979/1980.

My employers BS23N1B 'Cuda that he bought from a used car lot in 1984. I tried to talk him out of it since it was priced kind of high for the time.....$1,400.
