Thank you for the info and good luck with your project. My 1974 parts car was KB5 Lucerne Blue according to the data tag; white interior and white vinyl top. It must have been something when new, but I would have to check my code list and see if KB5 was the same as Plymouth EB7. I have not...

Frederick; my car looked just like the Cuda in your signature photo at one point...

Thank you Sir!

It was nowhere near the same distance you had to deal with, but I had to move my first challenger to different places in the first several years I had it just to keep it out of the rain - the roof and rear deck leaked badly. I had it stashed in my father-in-law's barn in PA for a while, then...

Thanks! My restorer did a great job; the idea was to put together a driver and not a show car. The costs on the latter would have been astronomical, especially given what we had to start. I was against putting a vinyl top on at first, but he painted and sealed the roof first so hopefully roof...

Hi, I just joined tonight, but I have been visiting the site and have found previous posts really helpful. My 1973 Challenger is mostly complete after several years in professional restoration. I am doing the interior myself, and really am just getting started as I recently retired. Getting...
