Hey. Just joined the group. I have a 73 318 Challenger I bought in 1978. Have owned the car since I was 16. Recently started some restoration. Rebuilt the 904 for the first time. Replacing all interior parts. It's a member of the family!

Yes, it is bronze metallic. It has the original paint right now but I am considering burnt orange when I repaint. Any thoughts?

Brad, it looks like you had a twin to my car.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.

Yes it does! But inquiring minds want to know if you sported a cool looking mullet like Brad did back in the day too - then you guys and your cars would really be like twins!

C'mon, give it up ... you had a mullet too now didn't ya?
