The convertible Challenger is a 1970 RT w/ 383/ Auto. I have owned since 1983. In the beginning it was actually an FK5 color with white top and white longitudinal stripes that was my daily driver and I wore it out and basically parked it. Being in the military I dragged it around various duty stations but never got rid of it. I started working on it on and off in spurts. In 1994, I saw a PCP Challenger convertible (white stripes and top) in a Mopar Mag and fell in love with that color. The original numbers matching engine and tranny are in the car but the engine is rebuilt with a little more ummph. I have retained every original part for the car except for the distributer and the driver side door. In hind sight - I wish I would have kept the door and just did the repair on it - oh well.
Now that I am older; I am leaning toward putting it back to the original FK5 exterior and the matching interior it came with. A 3rd option I am considering is Jazz Blue - white stripes and white top. I will make it a patriotic tribute themed car with the blue back ground.
The other Challenger is a 2013 SRT core. I think the new Challengers are sweet rides. I just didn't like the noisy rides (road noise) of the Camaro and Mustang...not trying to knock our fellow American Muscle cars...I do think they are awesome cars too.
I just put the17 inch cragers/nittos on my convertible and I thought it would make a cool picture nose to nose.
