T/A Challenger Add
« on: January 25, 2008 - 07:59:42 PM »
I found this May 16, 1970 Auto Week magazine on E Bay last week. I bought it for this add for a T/A. It's a sweet little add that I'd never seen before. I just love these old adds!

very cool, Rare TA or Barry can probably answer my question:
when was the first T/A raced?  if this is may70, I would assume shortly after production these cars were racing, then they had to offer so many to the public.

I know Iread all this somewhere before, just going by the add though "never been raced" yet has all these performance parts

I have not seen that ad before either.  :thumbsup:

The first SCCA race with the T/A and AAR in it was April 18 & 19 at Laguna Seca in Monterey, CA.

"Optional power steering for sports car driving"

Makes me think there was quick ratio for power steering as well.  :dunno:

Awesome Find!!  :2thumbs:

Since the steering was brought up, there were three types available on the T/A;

1. Manual
2, Power steering (std. ratio)
3. Fast ratio power steering.
