Hi there from SF Bay Area - another owner / builder

[zshowket]

Hi everyone. Been working on my 1970 Challenger that was gifted to my by my father. She was purchased in San Diego on the mid 80's, then sat for 34 years before she was given to me. Needless to say she needed a ton of work to get to where I wanted her. An original Go-Mango car with 383, but not an RT. The 440 was pulled out by 1st owner in the last 70s and replaced with a 440 and the RT hood. Today she can be driven at the drop of a top (pardon the pun, I had too!), Engine and trans only have 400 miles on them. Many things upgraded to be able to enjoy her as a driver, I am sure you can pull most of it yourself from the photos. Anyway, been a long time stalker and now a first time poster. Thanks for all the knowledge from this site, grateful for the help to all.
















Darn trunk light took the longest to find! Spent 10 min just opening and closing the truck and giggling like a school kid.

Thanks All,
Zip Showket

Welcome to FEBO from the desert! Very nice Challenger! I've said numerous times, Chrysler had the best exterior paint colors by far!!

Tag calls for burnt orange interior and a 383. Everything else is a match.

Hello from Santa Rosa, CA. A long-time Mopar lover, myself. Very nice car, well done. What a blessing. I hope to see her someday, as you live nearby. Best regards to you and your project.

A burnt orange interior is just as good as the white!
