Here is my 73 Challenger Rallye. I bought the car new back in May, 1973 ($3100 out the door).  It has the numbers matching 340 4 speed with 35K original miles.  I added eddy aluminum heads, offy dual quad intake with 500CFM carters, crager SS, dynomax headers with 3" duals/x pipe, 3.91 posi, manual steering.  It was my daily driver for 5 years before I placed it in long term storage.  I put it back on the road about 3 years ago.

Car was bought by my Mom & Dad in April 72' when it was 1 year old from Normandin's in San Jose. I fell in love with that grille the minute I saw the car. I was 12 years old then in the peak of Hot Wheels craze. Originally a 2 tag well optioned, 318, A/T, 2.76, beige interior, Gran Coupe in Tawny Gold.

Pic 1 In 78' I graduated from H.S. The first pic was after it was repaired when I rear ended a car. The first pic was in 79' when I was stationed in Germany.

Pic 2 was taken sometime around 92 or 93'. This was when it had a 340 4 speed. The left rear quarter was hit when a truck came into my lane and then repaired (unbeknownst to me at the time) by a professional hackman prior to painting it black.

Pic 3 is where it is today. Body work is getting done most of it by myself this time. Looking forward to Fall when I can have body filler not dry so fast since it's getting done outside.

I bought this back in 1988 and it was my daily driver for a few years.  It had only 36K miles on it when I bought it.  It now has 77K.  It has been straightened and painted and the engine has been rebuilt.
Best run in the 1/4 was last year, 14.56 at 94.58 MPH.

My '71 'cuda.  Originally a Gran Coupe.  I purchased it from board member hotrod98.

I had to do some thing to personalize it so I took off the Go Wing & had it painted the factory correct shade.
-added eye brow front spoilers
-repainted the motor
-added aluminum valve covers
-new hoses, wires, belts
-deleted all the a/c stuff, almost.

I'm afraid to polish on it anymore since I've already made several rags reddish in color.
I also pulled the wheels off & polished the insides of them.  They're spun aluminum on the inside so the shine is a bit harder to get.  This winter I may pull them off & try sanding them down.  :dunno:

The performance is night & day compared to the 340 '70 Challenger I got out of.

This winter I plan to clean up the inner fenders, firewall & hopefully get a set of ceramic headers.













The other hot rod.  472 Hemi, Gear Vendors, 3:91 Power Lock, original cruise control, rear defogger, light delay, PW, A/C.  I have every thing, including #'s drivetrain to go back to factory specs.

1970 Challenger R/T

#'s matching 383 Magnum, A727 TF & 8 3/4 SureGrip 3.23.

Painted in Cortez Silver ('69 GM Colour) - originally FE5 with white longitudinal stripe.

Has had a few minor modifications: PST Sway-bars, torsion bars. Kelsey Hayes Single Caliper discs up front. Edelbrock intake. Double Pumper. Drives like a dream.

From what I can tell it had been a Californian car most, if not all its life - since the mid '80's at least. I purchased it from San Diego in 2010, and it now resides in sunny Sydney, Australia!
