    Check out the just released January 2014 issue of Mopar Muscle to read the story written by Challenger HK about the "Far Out, Far East" challenger....

    Definitely have to check out the car and Challenger HK's article!  Very cool!

    Is that your car pic as a submission for the calendar?  If so, it's one of my favorite pics there!  :thumbsup:

    Thanks, Brad. While I can't say that this required no work (ask Koby how many times we went back and forth over drafts) I can say I was motivated by the subject matter. I can't count how many pieces I've read that go like "I found a really rare car, then I pulled it into my 24x40 foot side garage and had my employees do a restoration so I can send it to Barrett Jackson." It was nice to see a person pursuing a car out of passion.

    Alan, the article is now online, albeit with the incorrect title, stating it's a 1973 model. The webmaster must not be all there.

    Here's the link:
