Newbie from Italy
« on: April 01, 2009 - 05:49:34 AM »
Just to say hello to everybody here.  I'm an Italian guy that loves old Mopar's as well as Ferrari and Lambo...  :bananasmi

I hope that you can help me with your support and suggestions. It's really hard to own a Mopar in EU due to vehicle registration regulations and shipping costs of the parts.  :banghead: :banghead:

Anyway, these are some pics of my last beauty that I bought from California last year (70 Challenger R/T 383 AT):

yes it is. For me "Red Ferrari" and "Hemi Orange Mopar"  sound  in the same way....

Having driven the roads in Italy, I would only take a beauty out like that on early Sunday mornings before the traffic gets crazy.  Welcome to the site.

As you can see the body work is almost complete, but the interior and the engine bay is really like a mess !!

I will post more photos when all things will be clean and acceptable to share...   :icon16:

 :wave: Welcome, Pablo!

Very cool car you have!  Must be very unique to see a Challenger in Italy!  :grinyes:

It's great you have the priviledge to be in Italy where Ferrari's and Lambo's are made.  Do you see them often around where you live? 

In Massachusetts, hardly see them except around a dealership.  The closest thing I ever considered buying Italian was a 1971 Intemeccanica Italia with a Holmon Moody Boss 302 in it.
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.

Pic #2 and 3 of my ARII 1/24 scale model car 

Phil in New England-Massachusetts  Always thank God for what you have!

Very nice challenger. I like the blacked out hood. I had thought about doing that myself. Welcome to the site. :wave:
