thanks for the warm welcome. the car was restored over three years at a vocational school.pretty cool, real  paint booths,rotisserie etc.the paint is 2010 challenger red.all it needs is front seat covers, brakes are kinda spongy and most important, the center carb does not have the choke assembly.but its a beast,and the journey begins. p.s. any help with carb will be most appreciated.  jeff

Welcome to the site! Got a 74 myself and wish it was in as good a condition as yours. It's in progress though.
