Here is another R/T SE for the count, which is registered at lamopar: JS29U0E126085.
I came across this car in Valdry's auto dismantiling in Gardena, California, in 1997 when I was 15. I was with my grandfather looking for a turn signal lense for Granma's Towncar, and to my suprise, I came across this old bluish grey Challenger.
I popped the hood, and besides being greeted by the 440, I saw these, and my eyes fell out of my head!
The car was largely complete, and Mr. Valdry told me that it actally ran!
I kept tabs on the car for the next few years, when I would fly out to Hermosa Beach to visit my Grandparents (I lived on the East coast), we would make the pilgrimage to MY challenger.
I saved my pennies for that car (Mr. Valdry wanted 10K), and when I moved to Los Angeles, I did what any smart Challenger aficiando would do, I bought a 1958 Dodge instead
. Just for kicks, I went to Mr. Valdry's last year, and Red was gone. I don't know what became of her, but I am sure she is around. She was only missing her exhaust tips, her trunk was rusted out, and the seatback on the driver's seat was broken off.
Another R/T SE I can think of was the triple Black car in the Northeast that was "destroyed" in the eighties. It was one of the few cars with the T/A hood.
