Yea the 72,73,74s may have been shorted under the hood but there's no denying they got the others beat in the styling dept.   :woohoo:

That's the car YO built for the goofy arse race competition for the Forza video game on Speed Channel earlier this year.  Unfortunately I can't remember what motor they had in it, but is was nice to see it there.

We all know '73 was the best year for Challengers, but only a few of us will actually admit it!

Sorry, that "frowny face" grille just isn't for me. I'll take a 70-71 any day over a 72-4. Just my personal preference, and I've owned several 70's, a 71, a 72 and a 73.

I do prefer the earlier Challenger also, but any Challenger that is getting cover time sounds great to me.   :ylsuper:

If you look at the new Toyota trucks, you can see they ripped off the 72-74 Challenger grill and valance opening.

Personally, I think they look best dechromed with headlight covers.
