Sorry no link, I'm on my phone. Sweet 1974 Challenger in NorCal. Search Carbuffs in Concord Ca. Sherwood green, 360, very good looking car for under 30k.

Ohh man...everything was great until they opened the hood!  The chevy blackout treatment and a CRAZY place to install your coolant recovery system.  I'm surprised the exhaust hasn't cooked a hole in it!

Otherwise a really nice and pretty original looking 74 rallye.  The tail panel is supposed to be argent outside an black inside but i Admit the 72 rallye style looks better.  Also missing the stripes.  But really those are not big things. 

Overall a pretty decent car and listing.  Too bad its not a 360!

Is it just me or are there a ton of spots along the body line that like the person who did the body work was under the influence of something? Also that drivers door looks "really" misaligned...

I would like to see the original black stripes put back on and I'm trying to picture what the original white vinyl top would have looked like ??? I really like the white interior  :thinking:

Description says it has a 73 360.
Gauge cluster is NOT restored original as claimed. 74s didn't not have an 8000 tach.

Ahh good catch!  You are correct on that.  Maybe there is more to this than we see. Still a fairly solid looking rallye.

Do they make reproduction 7G tachs ? They added a nice AM/FM too  :bigthumb:

I'm not really sure Alan. When I sent my cluster to our "friends"  :barf: at Mr Heaterbox I asked for my inaccurate 8000 tach to be replaced with a proper 7000 tach. It came back with a 7000 but they may have just refaced it. It's still inaccurate although not as badly as it was.

Classic industries lists a 7000 RPM tach.  :yes:

Ad says  gauges are restored. They may be, but the wood grain overlay looks horrible.
