Welcome from your neighbor in New Jersey
Had relatives in Bayshore, Long Island many years ago
Nice collection of cars.
Was the Challenger convertible an original 340 car? There would be an A66 on the inner fender plate.

The Challenger was originally a 6 cyl auto, it had no engine or trans when I got it, 7 1/4 rear burnt orange in and out. But did have a 8 cyl k frame and front disc brakes already installed. I added 8 3/4 rear from a 74 chall parts car and a b body sure grip center, now it has a 340 6 pack 904a with trans pac shift kit, I bought a rotisserie stripped the car totally, parts were media blasted and powder coated, repl'd both quarters, added frame connectors, recover the seats, stainless lines, and cables, super stock springs, with my home made front hangers, 71 dash with ralley gauges and all the same dash features as a 70 except the dash pad emblem, the only thing I did not do myself was the engine rebuild and 6 pack carb rebuild.

Looking good, have you thought about torsion bars and sizes? I have not bought mine but was thinking about getting some hotchkis or hellwig bars because I would think they would really help the convertibles with handling.
