    Just thought I'd post a few pics of my challenger.  In storage for the winter now.

    Friend of mine restored an original car in that very same colour combo. His was a 440 4bbl car though, not a six pack.

    Looks sharp !

    Was that car owned by someone in the MapleLeaf Mopar Club out of Canada?  I believe I have seen that car for sale a couple of years back

    YES it would have been featured on that web site. The guy that ran that site never owned or restored the car.....but I know what you meant.....Very neat car....

    Dan, I hope it is ok if I add a couple pictures of your car to the ones you posted.  They show the other side of that great engine compartment.  A great looking car. These pictures are from Graham in 2012. They were taken at the same time but I used a flash for the first one.  PK

    Paul, no problem, didn't know you took these pics.  Missed you at graham this past year.  My favorite pic is on my screensaver at work, a pair of sublime challengers, you may know of this shot!

     I don't know why but my mind processed 'screensaver' as 'screwdriver'. I thought wow, this guy ir really fenatical about his car if he embosses his tools with pictures of it :roflsmiley:

    Dave, thanks

    The tires are P235/60R15 on the front and P255/60R15 on the rear.  My feeling is that the size for the front is about as wide as you want to go.  There is just enough clearance with this setup with the steering at full travel.  The car when I purchased it had slotted mags on it and we're very wide.  They ate up the wheel opening moldings pretty good.  This car came standard from the factory with 14 inch wheels, I just didn't like the looks of them.  This was about the only thing I changed from stock.
