1970 Cuda and Challenger - Forced to Newbie Status!!!!
« on: September 23, 2013 - 08:46:09 PM »
OK I tried to sneak in quietly and got busted.  I have had a 2010 R/T (Magnusson-charged) for several years and recently bought '70 Challenger 440R/T matching numbers and a NOM 1970 "Cuda 383.  A few pics are below, as I was whining about overpaying for the cars in another thread and it was suggested that I come here and post photos.

Sorry :newbie:, didn't mean to "bust' you out like that! :biggrin: Those E-bodies look really nice! What color is the Chally - is it EW1 white or DY3 cream? Almost looks cream but it could be the light that the pic was taken in. Like the way the green Bumble-Bee matches the interior - that's sharp. Is that your shop in the background? If it is that is a heck of a shop. Looks like a '69 Super Bee, a '70 Road Runner, and another Challenger in the background - yours? Welcome aboard and I hope you don't hold it against me for calling you out!  :biggrin:

Sweet looking cars!   Welcome to the site!    NOM I thought was Non Original Motor . . . . Pretty much what Jamiez said.

Not my garage.  Those pics were from inspection at a collector's garage in Indiana.  He found a dumb redneck to cull his herd!  The color is EW1.  It looks like a glass of milk for lack of a better description.  The badging looks nice on that color.

NOM is not original motor for the other guys.  At least that's what google told me.  I was using really cool slang to avoid newbie status!  Ahem.....
