    1971 Challenger Convertible newbie
    « on: December 06, 2016 - 04:57:41 AM »
    A good forum here to share my favorite hobby...

    Bought this one few months ago, my first Mopar, and no disappointments  :)
    It was restored over 20 years ago, - paint and some minimum rust repairs.
    440-6 pack/auto, but is said to be original a 340/auto, - the 340 engine long gone.
    Always garage kept.
    Location: Iceland.

    Welcome from Colorado!  I love '71 Chally's, and a vert to boot!  Only issue I have is why is there a picture of a Camaro on your wall?

    Welcome from Sweden. Nice cars! Wow, Iceland, are there many musclecars there? How are the weather conditions? A lot like mine I guess, can drive a nice car about half the year.

    Awesome ride, the trip I took to Iceland this summer was by far the best vacation I've ever taken!

    Thank you all for good greetings :)
     
    The Challenger was imported from USA 1987, I am the third owner since then
    The Camaro has been in Iceland since 1972 (I think), when I bought it in 2010, it needed a total restoration.

    I think there are about 10 x ´70 Challengers; 4 x ´71 Challengers and few of the younger ones.
    Not sure about Barracudas/Cudas...probably less than 10 in total (i.e.70-74).

    There are some nice muscle cars here, even though the population is rather low.
    But no Superbirds, Daytona Chargers etc.

    Weather conditions are making this hobby......drive during summertime (5- 6 months) and garaged during wintertime.
    So, during winter, speculations regarding what- and where to upgrade the pony  :)
