Trying to find my dad's Plum Crazy Challenger T/A

[Koby]

I have had one gentleman contact me about writing a story, but he didn't say who he writes for. I wouldn't mind MCG contacting me, but I'm not really into soliciting a story for myself. I also didn't see any contact info for them except for the store part of it.

Hey, Koby, I'm the one who contacted you. I'm a free-lancer, not associated with any particular magazine.

I snapped this pic in Alb NM at a show at a bldg in the State fair grounds 1990 give or take a year. Car was purple with a white top and stripes, and a gull wing spoiler. The hood was purple. Note the rims too.

Wow, thanks, sure seems like it could be the same car.  Now that I have found the car and purchased it, I'm about to start trying to learn the ownership history.

I'm guessing the above picture is not the same car.
My guess is that the above picture is not a real T/A. The hood appears to be a steel hood with a scoop added, there is no side exhaust and the wrong rear spoiler which would used totally different holes in the deck lid.
Also if someone ordered the custom white stripes, if the got the engine call outs as well like your Father's car, then they would have most likely put them on at the same time.

Look what I found. More to come once daylight arrives.

Where and when was that pic taken?  Was that in Japan? 

[ChallengerGary]

Great story!  Kudos to Barry for hooking you up.  He's a great person for keeping that Registry alive and he is missed around here.

[Koby]

Yes sir I'm in Japan, purchased the car and it will be at the port today, ready to make its journey back to where it belongs.

He looks happy to see you....depending on which one is you...

That's my buddy that came with me.  You truly need mental counseling.

[anlauto]

Well then you both look happy....I thought maybe you would take a picture with the current owner ... to capture the moment.

[Koby]

Here ya go, the image hasn't been transferred to my phone yet.

Ok, now we know what the new owner looks like.  Smart move anlauto.  Congratulations rxapple on finding and reacquiring your dad'd old car.  Great story!
