My 73 Vanishing Point Tribute

Yes I know Kowalski drove a 70 R/T but as a House Painting Contractor in this economy a 70 way out of financial reach!

Nice work making your Challenger!  She looks very nice and very white.
D'oh, that's the problem, your car is way too clean to be a Vanishing Point car!
Take her out on a dusty road and drive it around awhile.
Oh, and if possible, run a Jaguar off the road.
Red Bull is a better idea than meds.
If you make it all the way to San Francisco, go ahead and visit T.C.

Thanks for posting, you have a gorgeous Challenger.  Don't get her too dusty on the trip.

Very nice job!  :thumbsup:

Wonder what it would look like with the front blacked out like a '70...  :clueless:
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.
