    1973 Challenger Rallye - Long time browser, first time poster
    « on: February 04, 2011 - 04:20:20 PM »
    Hello everyone!  Found your site while deployed and have gotten a lot of great information off the site. 

    I have a 1973 Challenger Rallye.  My father and I started restoring it around 1998 and finished it about 5 years later.  Motor and transmission where gone when we got it and ended up putting a 383 and 727 in it when we restored it.  Since then I've upgraded a few things here and there like adding the Keisler 5 speed.  Current plans include a stroked 512 and some driveability upgrades.  I know I'll have a bunch of questions here that I'll ask all of you for opinions.

    Since this one was completed, my dad has done another '73 with a 440+6 and 5 speed in triple back (for sale), built a 1971 440+6 auto for another guy that he ended up buying back when the guy got a divorce.  He has a 1970 B5 blue 440 R/T that is the current project and another 1970 yellow 340 4speed car that is either looking for a new home or is next up to be restored.

    Anyway, glad to be part of the group!

    Thanks everyone!  That picture was taken up on some sandstone bluffs near my hometown in Montana.

    MontanaMopar...you got it right!  That was on the Rims.  Good to hear from a fellow Montanan!  Too bad I'm not there anymore, but I hope to move back later.  Oklahoma is home for right now.

    I appreciate it Usraptr!  It's my pleasure to serve in the military.
