Nice pics, Jeff!  :thumbsup:



That Corky car reminds me of the "bat" car from Road Warriors.  :rofl:

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.

Yep! Those paint jobs, hair, and clothes are definitely right out of the 70's! That first pic of the GTX/Satellite/Belvedere is shocking - jacked up four feet in the air that thing had to be unstable and a real handful!

And any other under-car maintenance that needed to be done ... no jack required! :grinyes:

Might need a step stool to change that brake light bulb...  :faint:

You weren't cool back then unless everybody could see your underside.

Boy that's the truth!  One of my funniest memories from back then is a kid's mid 70's Toyota Corolla (front wheel drive) with air shocks on the back pumped up to the max.  Most ridiculous thing I ever saw cruising the strip.  But you definitely weren't cool unless your cars A$$ was up in the air, and my Roadrunner was definitely cool!!  :ylsuper:

Yeah, there wasn't as many choices of wheels and back-spacing back then so you really had to pump up the air shocks to get your N50 sized tires under the fender lip!
