My '71 Challenger Convertible
« on: October 01, 2007 - 07:43:22 PM »
Hi all,

Some of you might have caught a picture of my car that I posted earlier or perhaps you might have seen it at the Mopar Nats or the Woodward Dream Cruise.  Mopar is picking it up tomorrow to take it to the 2009 Dealer Into Meeting in Vegas at the end of next week, then keeping it out there for SEMA.  I'll miss it, that's for sure!  I spent 3 years restoring the car.  Funny, when I bought the car I thought it would only need a cosmetic "refresh".  Every piece we pulled off seemed to reveal something else that needed fixing.  Finally said to heck with it and did a full nut and bolt resto.

I hope you enjoy the pics.  I look forward to enjoying the community here!

Bob
