Well a friend from FEBO told me about this new forum so I figured I'd better check it out. I hope to see some familiar faces and also some new ones, thanks for having me.
Here's my Challenger, it's an all numbers matching 383 automatic.

 :welcome: DetMatt! Nice looking car. Is that a factory spoiler?


DetMatt

Thanks for the warm welcome and kind words everyone!
A little more on the '71, EL5 with black top, interior and stripes and also an original ac car. My best guess is that it came to Michigan from Texas over 20 years ago just about the way you see it here. It looks to have been painted red at some point and then back to Butterscotch which I think is when the rallye hood was added and an original T/A spoiler. It has the fender tag but no build sheet and I'll have much more about it for you guys soon. Here's another pic to tide you over. :grouphug:
Hey what does it mean to be tagged?

Thanks @DetMatt  for the extra pic.  Looking forward to hearing more about your car!   :veryexcited: 

When you are "tagged" it means that someone "mentioned" you in a thread.  Like I did in this reply.   :)  You can adjust how you get noticed about "mentions" (or called tagging) and your PM's in your account settings under the profile tab.   See the screen shots below.

To mention someone, just use the "@" symbol and type the first 3 or 4 letters of the members name.  Once the little drop down menu pops up, you need to select them from the list.  It's that easy.   :bradsthumb:

Matt, I'm glad you checked it out. What is the name of the lake where you took the second picture?

DetMatt

That's Torch Lake in northern Michigan. At one point it was listed by National Geographic as the first or second most beautiful Lake in the world and on that same list was Higgins Lake which was rated 6th and is in this picture. I grew up vacationing at Higgins Lake but it was very different back in the '70s.
