 :2thumbs: Very cool, NZ!  That's great you got so much info!!!

It's always cool to get some history on your car but to also get vintage pics!  That is a blast form the past!

Amazing the transformations that Lucy took on over the years.  Sort of like looking at a persons photo album and seeing them grow up and go into their "golden years".

The last pic of Lucy moving reminds me of the Brock Yates Cannonball Challenger Although different year Challenger).

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Pic #2 and 3 of my ARII 1/24 scale model car 

Phil in New England-Massachusetts  Always thank God for what you have!

Superblue: Yupe, it does indeed look very similar and to the untrained Moparian it could very well be the same car.
She sure has come along way and is in good hands now, she's almost too pampered. Nah, never!  :-*

Love to find history like that!!   The way it looks now is so much cleaner and better then it ever has.  The spoiler, vinyl top and lettered paint just had to go and with that rake it has now, it's just about perfect.  :2thumbs:

Absolutely Steve! Me after getting his first email --------------->  :woohoo: He knew so much about it, no offence to him at all but he sounded a little older in age but was flinging off names of previous owners like he was reading the shopping list off the fridge! :lol: He even knew a couple of addresses that the car was sold to before/after him, I was amazed. He asked that if I sell it to let him know first. :biggrin:

Mad Max, it is a bit I guess, I can see how you'd think it. :thumbsup:

Thanks Pete, she wouldn't look like she does if it wasn't for the help of this board, corny but true.
Lucy said to say thanks for keeping an eye on me and helping her regain her former glory.


From Lucy and I, cheers C-C.C  :cheers:

Thanks lads, who would have thought plain, bland, white, could be quite interesting eh!  :biggrin: Here's another one from the same day, I really like this one. The lines are great and I like the way the bulge on the hood seems to stick out and say "Hey!" also it shows how she sits nicely from that angle. A slight rake is tasty.  :icon16:
