If you need to strap a couch to the roof of your Hemi Charger, please make sure you have it facing the correct way.
This was actually in my local paper today.

I used to haul lumber on top of my 71 Charger....

I'm talking like 16 2"x8"x14' Plus 8 sheets of plywood at a time building a new roof on our old house. Made 4 trips loaded like that.  :22yikes:

Thanks for the post, Katfish!  Good to know info!  :grinyes:  I almost got a set of old clapm on the rain gutter roof racks for the Challenger... for real!  :screwy:  :D
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.
