Added A Couple More Challengers To The Stable Today!

[Green Drop Top]

I wouldn't convert the 71 fender to 73 if that is what you are thinking.

Nope, I never even considered it. I was just curious which years interchange. Cuda's are unique in 1970, 1971, and then 72-4. I was just wondering if Challengers varied as much? Which years are a dirrect swap and which years are unique?

[Challenger6pak]

Challengers are 70-71 then 72-74 for bolt on interchange.

Holy mixed breeds Batman   Nice finds though

Oh Oh OH is that the fabled M46 side scoop option?that should be worth 30k!lol

Nice find with 2 cars. I'll have to give that sign parts wanted some thought as that might find me my next project.

[Green Drop Top]

Worked for me! It can't sit out in front of the house like this forever (Little too "trailer trash" looking for my tastes) but hey, it has only been there a week and I have already met half a dozen the guys in the area who have cars and parts for sale, pretty effective!

[Super Blue 72]

Ha ha!  I love the way you advertised you needed parts!  Definately catches the eye!

Great find on the Challenger!  It's almost like they just dropped on your lap!

I wonder what the rear spoiler looked like with the Trans Am side scoops.  Back in the day (70's maybe) that must've been an interesting looking car.  I wonder if the previous owner had pics of that car in it's prime?

Maybe it looked something like this?

[Green Drop Top]

He didn't have any pics of it in it's "prime" but he did know the guy who built it and said that in it's day it was a fast and good looking car. He said the guy street raced it allot and there wasn't much around that could best him. Apparently it ran around with a tunnel rammed dual quad 340 that was built up pretty stout, the carbs poking through a (now missing) equally garish "Corvette Summer" style hood scoop

Corvette Summer?  I loved that car!  I wouldn't drive it on the street though.  I must be stuck in the 70's.  Where's my disco ball.....

[RusTy/SE]

Well...i still have my Mood Ring 

[Green Drop Top]

Yea, I admit it, I feel for the Corvette Summer car as well, so here's the real question? Did you prefer it when it was Red or Gold? I liked the gold better myself.....

Anyway, update, my "Parts Needed" sign worked again today, a guy stopped by and sold me an nice complete 83/4 rear for the Challenger for $200.00 (no pumpkin) but heck it was even clean and had nice wheels & tires!

Challengers are 70-71 then 72-74 for bolt on interchange.

Actually, the 70 nad 71 fenders are each unique.  The 70 headlight bezel is different than the 71 and in order to fit a 70 fender onto a 71 a minor "body modification"  is required.  You need to notch out one of the bezel mounting holes.

Yeah Scott,   That red one is a T/A! I can tell by the scoops on the front fenders.
in case you didn't know.

I liked the red.  I guess that's because that was the first color you saw and also it made the flames stand out.  I always had a thing for candy apple red with metal flake.  Maybe it had to do with the dune buggies or bumper cars I used to see when I was younger.  I have a 1/20th scale covette that I eventually will turn into a replica of that car.

I actually had sales literature for when the car was up for sale in the late 70's/early 80's.  It was a closed auction.  They sent a 4x6 postcard of the car and detailed information on the build up.  I only have the post card left in my photo album.

Hey, that's what mine must have looked like, but in a '73 version.

Scott, I like the way you have that advertising sign.   I'd give that a try in my area, but I'd be afraid my car would get picked up instead.
