Hello Fellas, new member here in the PNW. I have had a 70 challenger for a few years now. Passed down through the family. I am a younger guy who is pretty fresh in the Mopar world and want to get involved here to try to soak up some of the knowledge. About my car, it's a 70 Challenger convertible, Plum Crazy, white interior, with a 383 Magnum in it. Thanks for having me, can't wait to fire up some questions for you guys.

Welcome from another Washingtonian. What part of the State are you in? Beautiful Challenger

aboard. Beautiful car.
What is the age of the tires ? I know Firestone discontinued most sizes of the Indy 500 years ago and if those are over 5-6+ years old they probably should not be driven at hi-way speeds.
Check the DOT codes on the tires if you are not sure. The last 4 number of the code will give you three week and year of manufacture.
Very nice looker.

Welcome! Incredible car... and can I also say.... that's a supremely well placed lens flare on the grill photo!

Nice catch, the pictures I posted are actually old. Since I took those pictures I’ve replaced the wheels and tires. They were definitely not safe and needed replacement before I put my family in the car.

What did you replace the Rallye Wheels with? BTW, I'm in Kennewick, the dry side.

I replaced the rallye wheels with a set of reproduction rallyes. The old set had some corrosion that was bad enough that they wouldn’t hold air anymore. And then I threw a set of BF Goodrich radials on for good measure.
