Hello All i'm new to the forum.  I've been a long time 71-72 B body owner with a couple cars over the years.  My current ride is buy far my most favorite is an original paint EL5 71 Roadrunner Air grabber car.  Black bench interior and the optioned spoilers and rear window louvers.  My kids call it a bad a$$ school bus! 

The truth is that I've been a HUGE fan of the E body since i got into cars when i was 15 and I've always wanted one.  My first ever drive in a mopar was my neighbors 70 Challenger Convert when i was 16!  It was B5 blue with a blue interior and a 340 in it dressed as an R/T.  I was totally hooked!

For as much is I love the 71/72 B bodies i always had a soft spot for challengers.  I hope to soon own one and have determined that this coming year I'm going to sell the runner and get a challenger. I'm sure being a member here will help. 

In any case thanks for hosting and look forward to talking with you.  Attached are some photos of my current ride.

70 Challenger Convertible - 318 Auto - K5 w/ White Top

Thank you!  My wife wants a air grabber for it.

The reason I ask where you lived is because I have a buddy looking for a 71 but your to far for him. There was one that was on Ebay not to long ago that was the same color as yours but had a 4 speed. Looked like a nice one. Guy wanted 32k for it. Air Grabber, Carmel color bench seat interior and no spoilers.

Welcome from CO!  I love the '71 RR and yours is beautiful, and really like that your kiddos have a nickname for it.   :bigthumb:

Personally I like all the Road Runners, I've never owned one go figure, Have to admit I'm partial to the fuselage bodied RR's, recessed grill and the rear bumper recessed tail lights, it's all good. Your kids are right it's one Bad A$$ School Bus.        Thanks,   Al

Welcome @71383bee   :welcome:  Very nice Roadrunner!   :banana:  Hope you find the right Challenger.  The E-Bodies are by far one of my favorite mopars.  Hard to beat the look of a good E-Body.   :inlove:
