My buddy bought an F8 360, 4 speed rallye new from Jado Motors in Prince George B.C. Last I seen that car it was in Winfield B.C. around 1979, always wondered what happened to it, it was also a 3.55 car but had full hubcaps and no vinyl top.

This one came out of Abbotsford Chrysler. It was one of two that I know of that came out of this dealership. A neighbour of mine HAD(sold it and it's now in the US) a 74 Challenger that was one diget out from my serial number, bought from the same dealer. His ended in 139, mine ends in 140. There was a rumour that there was a Challenger in Oregon with a serial number that ended in 141. I had plans of photographing my car and my neighbours, but he sold it over the winter a couple of years back before I could do this.
Originally it had full caps also, but the orginal owner thought the rally wheels were needed, so he bought a set back when. I suspect they were purchased when he put new tires on the car in 1978. I have two of the original black rims with the ever faithful Polyglas tires still on them. One resides in the trunk of the car. I also have found a set of code W11 caps. They're not mint, but at least I've got a set.
Any and all original parts (wires, hoses, belts, cap, rotor etc.) that I've replaced are in a box in the garage. The powerful AM radio works like new, and all the lights and switches work, as does the clock. The lighter has never been used, nor has the car ever been smoked in.
