My 71 top on a 72 Rallye
« on: December 29, 2008 - 07:07:54 PM »
A while back I gave a buddy of mine the top off my 71 Challenger parts car. He finally put it to good use. This was the first time I have seen it installed. They did a really good job. The car had sat under a window unit refrigerated air conditioner for about 7 years. My buddy bought it a long time ago and then sold it. About 2 years ago he bought it back from the guy he sold it to. It is a pretty decent car. He has bought stuff like carpet, headliner, etc to bring the interior up to par and then plans on repainting the car in its original FE5 with a black top. Thrown in for an added bonus is his 70 Challenger that he is starting to work on also.

Nice pair. You're right, that top does look nice :grinyes: Is the 70 a 340 car?

That's good to see your parts car's top was put to good use.  He has two very cool project cars, especially if the '70 is sporting its original hood & decals (V-code). :2thumbs:
1973 Dodge Challenger......................The ongoing project. (00/----\00)
1991 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin-Turbo....The sunny day cruiser (RTBoost)
1990 Toyota Celica GT Liftback...........The new daily & winter driver.

This dude has a sugar tooth for 440 six paks and T/A's. He makes all his 70's into one variation or the other. The orange car was originally a 318 B5 blue car with a 3 speed. The wrecked orange car that I posted pics of in another thread was a burnt orange 318 car with orange interior. He made it into a 440 six pak. The only original hipo engined car he has is the Rallye and it is numbers matching. As a side note the red truck in front of the Rallye has a 340 in it too.
