    /6 Challenger T/A?
    « on: January 01, 2008 - 06:46:57 PM »
    A friend of mine says he knows of a local guy who has a T/A Challenger that was ordered from the factory with a /6. Is this possible? I thought T/A's could only be had with a 340.

    I have heard rumors of one car................

    But it was not ordered as a T/A. According to the story I heard, a /6 car was pulled of the assembly line and used as a test mule to fit the T/A parts and see if they fit. This supposedly took place in November of 1969, which is also the same month the first batch of T/A blocks were cast.

    I asked the car owner several questions and for photos etc, and he never got back to me, this was years ago. Still just a rumor with no proof.........................

    May or may not be the same car?



    One of the protoype T/As was a 318 car though.

    He said it was 1 of 1. I'll have to see if he will show me the car. If so, I'll try to get pic.s.

    I would say it would have been a test car or someone liked the stripes and put them on a /6 Challenger.

    With the price of fuel it doesn't sound like a bad car to have :roflsmiley:

    There was more of this that went on than most are willing to say or admit that they ever heard of.  Things were changed on the line.

    Not yet. Havn't had a chance to talk to my buddy yet. Next time I do, I'll ask him about it. Hopefully he can take me to see it. That's just something I have to see for myself to believe. Stay tuned.
