    Another Kiwi...does that mean 7???

    Kia ora all
    I'm a new old guy!!! Having a mid life crisis and have begun an affair with a 30 year passion.Wanted a challenger since early '70s and have just imported one from California - a continuing project but in pretty good shape. My wife likes the idea and says it's a better idea than another woman. Anyways...I've visited the site for a long time and am really glad to have joined up. Lots of questions and virtually no skills (you'll have to wait till I master the photo bit) and heaps of enthusiasm. Challenger is a 1971 383 4bbl, RT hood, headers, lumpy cam and 750cfm edlebrock. Lots of ripples in an otherwise sound body. Photos are from the guy I bought the car from in the USA.
    Cheers all

    Welcome to the site, Dlrogers!!  The car looks quite nice in the photo you provided.  It should be a really nice car to cruise around NZ in.  Oh, and it's cool to see you're from the North...I have cousins in Kerikeri, NZ.

    Thanks for the welcome everyone. Small world Street!! Kerikeri is about 15 minuyes away - know lots of people there. Here's another pic (trying to get two on but haven't mastered that bit yet).
    Question...I have the vin code j23 etc but not the fender tag. Is it possible to find out what the original numbers were using the 10000 day number on the vin? Car is a Hamtrack one.

    Ahhh!!! got the multi pictures bit now! It pays to read on huh!!
