This car started life as a lowly optioned model but now sporting a custom leather Katzkin interior. The stripes are after-market as well as the billet grill and wheels. The engine bay has been detailed with a custom engine cover, plus carbon fiber and polished aluminum accent pieces. The engine has a Diablo Predator 93 tune.

This month we feature a beautiful 1970 Dodge Challenger Convertible! It sports a 340 auto with about 350HP! The car was "restored" in the late 70's with alot of NOS parts including SE trim! It was painted black and for a 30+ year old paint job, it still looks good! The shaker hood was an added touch within the last couple years and this member has had the car for almost 20 years now! This family has become MOPAR or NO CAR!
