 Hello and welcome Gene  :wave:

 As soon as I saw your pic I recognized that Challenger right away.
What a small world!  :wow:
 Here's a pic I took of her from The Mopars at Lebanon Valley in New York from last year.




She is down right gorgeous in person.
 Hope you stick around man  :thumbsup:

 I'll have to look through my folder and see if I got any video of you from that day.
