It is fun to be back behind of a 70s Challenger...

 Looks good. About the same yellow as my son's 71 except he opted for no black stripes and hood blackout.

I might suggest you remove the inverted V bracket on the rear valence so you plate sit on the valance properly  :alan2cents:

Looks good. Note how much lower it is than the new one.

Almost 6 inches!! The 71 overall is not much shorter or wider, the wheel base is about 8 inches shorter..

When you park the old and the new side by side.....you really can see how much more 'car' you get with new Challenger. :alan2cents:

What are your plans? Any personal changes in store for it ?  Is it a JH23H1 or a JS23H1 ?

I really like the new Challengers but sitting next to the old , looks like it needs to be driven over to      " Jenny Craig"

I think it's really cool when you realize the cars are almost 50 years different in age. Mercedes/Fiat/Dodge did the best job of the retroes considering the regulations they have to adhere to. And I think one of the reasons I love the original Challengers and Chargers so much is that they were the last of the breed before Big Brother took over the diesigning of automobiles.
