A couple of pictures
« on: February 11, 2009 - 12:39:36 PM »
I have been around for a few months but have never posted any pictures of my car.
It is a 73 Challenger with a 318 auto. I have owned it for about 4 years and am considering a swap to a 440.

That's a real nice looking car.   :2thumbs:

Since you're already set up for a small block, how about a stroked 360?  408 - most of the ci without the weight penalty.

Welcome!  :wave:

Love the stance of your car!  :grinyes:

Great looking car!  Greg has a good point since you have the SB setup.  Less stuff to buy so you can put it toward the engine build.  Unless you use aluminum heads/intake, the BB will weigh more and effect the handling.

What a sweet looking ride!!!!
That is a great combination, the color, the stripes, I love the hood and the rear end is up just right......
I can see where you'd want more ponies, but I think the exterior is perfect as is................................Welcome to a great site!!!
