Newbie here, see a few cuda-challenger.com buddies... :D also on forabodiesonly as well.

Anyway, I've had my '71 for about 8yrs now. It started life as a 318/904 car in F7 Ivy Metallic Green, Flat hood, single exhaust.

some history: At one point it was painted Root Beer Brown. I aquired this car from a guy who had it in his garage for about 15 or so years. My uncle actually knew the guy in the past and had a load of stories about this car. here is 2: I had to repair a huge crease in the driver door that was caused by a guy that backed clear across the bar parking lot in a huge Cbody and slammed into it on person. Also had to un-dent the floor and un-bend the seat mount studs from when the car did a yard job and hit a tree stump. The guys head actually went into the formed headliner.

Ive got a 408 stroker motor in it with a 727. Changed the Flat hood, rear valalnce, 70 Slapstick, Woodgrain wheel. Painted it 70 B5.

Afew options: A78 - Formal Roof which includes the C26 overhead Console, small back window and vinyl top; power windows, 6way leather seats, rallye gauges, belt moulding, stone shield moulding, rocker moulding, pedal dress up, International export (Made in USA tag), Cassette Player w/stereo speaker, rear defrost.....

Sorry if I rambled, Im sitting @ work right now and its cold outside...... :rolleyes:
