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.

Man that is awesome......each customer gets a book of pics that show the car being built each step of the way.   That is incredible.  I'd do it if I had the funds.   Very cool.

...it goes "GRRRRRRR, GRRRRRR. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"  :roflsmiley:

...it is quite a bit louder than a stock SRT, but I have yet to hear it from the outside, I'm always driving it...between the whistle and the exhaust note it turns heads and when they see it, jaws drop....I'm very surprised at the amount of attention it gets....I thought it looked rather stealth

One of us would be more than happy to drive by you at wide open throttle to let you hear it as it whizzes by....  :misbehaving:
