True, T/As required either the 4-speed manual or the automatic, both of which were extra cost on the base Challenger.

Ok, I'm thoroughly confused now.... They didn't come with trannies?  Theoretically you could get one without a tranny?  Am I misunderstaning somthing?  :clueless:

Did they come with steering wheels?  :clueless:  :faint:

Base Challengers came with a 3-speed manual. If you ordered the T/A package you also had to order one of the optional transmissions since the T/A package couldn't be combined with the 3-speed.

Most likely either;

A - A clone.

or

B - A T/A with no radio originally, so antenna was added after it left the factory.

Yep, still around. Cuda will be done for the spring for sure. I installed the Hemi and it's just been at a standstill for a while. Kind of cooled on the project for a while but I want to finish it and finish it right. It will be at Carlisle '09 if all goes right.

They can not be "girlfriends", no one every gets to know what they are really like unless you marry one.  :roflsmiley:

They are "family" for sure though. A family even I am still learning about........
