Hello All,
New to the Challenger world, wasnt really looking at them until about a year ago, my taste in vehicles/hobbies historically has been military and armored vehicles, machine guns, cannons, flamethrowers, weapons of all sorts, etc. However, this 1974 Challenger really caught my eye and it's the first real "muscle car" that i've ever owned. Needless to say, I love this thing and it almost gets as much attention as my Delorean around town. Its a driver, original 318 car but has a 1974 440 in it presently. Previous owner took the 6 pack off of it and put a 750cfm edelbrock car on it, and sold the 6 pack on facebook

Has a lot of imperfections and problems but Runs and drives well. Needs a lot, 1st thing is vintage ac, then front end suspension refurb, on and on..... will need some help from the pros here soon.
Regards, Austin in Texas!

Welcome! Beautiful Challenger! BTW, you wouldn't happen to be the same Beltfed34 that deal in milsurp equipment? If so, I've bought from you over the years!
