Getting back to my roots.
« on: July 27, 2012 - 09:21:41 PM »
I built/ raced stock and super stock Mopar’s back in the mid 70’s but haven’t owned one since ’91 other than my Ram Cummins. Traded a gentleman for this A66 Challenger a few weeks back and am reliving me teen years.
I turned my Mopar racing hobby into a career in the 70’s, and now I’ll be retired in less than three years. I owe a lot to the inspiration that Dodge and Plymouth gave me back then, it’s only fitting that I now own another one of their classics.

Yep, it was repainted 17 years ago, 55k on the clock and only 8k in the last 17years. Everything checked out when I decoded it, factory A66 4 speed car. I've been inspecting everything for the last week, and only found a few minor repairs that needed done.
