Yes, a sales failure. Huge investment, low return, and canceled after just 4.5 years of production. The total sold never even equaled the first years sales target.
I've owned a couple challengers now, they're quickly becoming my favorite car, but I can see why they didn't sell well. Poor fit...
Thanks for the reply, guess I'm just SOL if I want power brakes AND solid lifters. Can't "have cake and eat it too" as they say...
As long as I've got your attention, how did you get your oil cap clocked the right way, are those repop valve covers? Whats the story on the fuel pressure regulator...
Anybody out there running solids in a hemi with power brakes in an E-body?
My 71 rt is currently a 400 auto with power steering and manual drums. I'm doing bodywork now and brake work is next. While the 400 will stay for quite a while, ultimately I want the car to end up with a Hemi 4 spd and...

Can you still order things from shakerhood? I thought Ben Snobar died recently...Would love a shaker kit for my challenger but I don't want to offend somebody by calling them up asking to buy his stuff.
Love how those polys look on the challenger!
Did you run radials on this car before switching to the poly's to compare the ride? This year I switched my '70 Road Runner from radials to those exact same F60-15's. I haven't really noticed any difference in ride or handling though. Its a non-power...
13 of 13. I got hung up on the second one though. That '70 satellite has a base Belvedere grill in it and dog dishes instead of higher trim wheel covers. '70 Satellites and Sport Satellites used the honeycomb grill like the GTX. So its either a Belvedere with Satellite trim all over it, or a...
