E-Bodies.org Cuda Challenger Forum

So this is like a Mopar Addicts or MoparAnonymous?... cool, I belong here.. so my name is Dick...Smart... yes that's my real name...

Long story short, I finally got my 71 Challenger back from paint prison and now I gotta put it back together.
My dad bought this car in 1983 and drove it everyday for 15 years back and forth to his job as a aircraft machinist in Tulsa Oklahoma. 
It's an early build car (Sept 09,1970) originally GY3, 318/904 with power top, white stripes, white interior and not much else.  It's got a '73 340(built by Tom Yeager) with a 727 and a 3.55 rear.   

Eventually I'll get her back on the road... I swear... before I'm 57... I'm 56 now :notsure:

 :welcome:  Fun project and a great story!

Out of curiousity, what color is/was yer Challenger?... Red, black interior, Cragars.   I had a college buddy from Tulsa that had one. 

Welcome to the site - it is very addicting!  I have "lost" many hours coming through the information here.  Car looks great!

It is a B5 Blue car. I got it in 1988, was sitting a guy's back yard rusting away (no drive train & no top). I did a "garage resto", then in 2008 had a full rotisserie done. It does have Cragars now (:

Thats what I said also, started restoration when I was 56, I just turned 62 and car is still in pieces!  :)

Beautiful ride. Paint prison can seem to last for a few life time sentences

Sorry just seeing your question, mine was the side stripe - V7W
It was a 383 Auto, but as mentioned was minus engine & transmission. It has a 440 in it now, painted Deep Water Blue from 2010 with no stripe. And I drive it often!
