Yo my fellow Mopar Mad enthusiasts

[EV2&Q5]

Hi gang. After being E bodyless since 2002('70 In Violet Cuda 340) I finally pulled the trigger on a EV2 70 Challenger T/A. I have been a FABO member, code name Sole Survivor for many years, as I own a 69 Dart Custom(Q5) that's anything but stock. Its fun and I'll keep it forever since my son helped with the build.
Back to the T/A. I'm 58 and wanted just one more bucket list Mopar before I retire. I could have bought a new Hellcat. But given the fact I just had this burning desire to buy a 70 Challenger that is what I pursued. My first choice was R/T 440 four speed super track pak car. My first car was a 71 340 Challenger. And I owned a T/A in 1983. I have a soft spot for the screaming 340s so when this T/A came along I jumped on it. And haven't looked back. Its a highly optioned car. Even has the rear louvers. I would call the car semi restored. Interior could use an upgrade but in due time. In the meantime the original motor was just rebuilt and a new centerforce clutch installed. And it has a brand new front suspension.
B0307245 appears on the radiator support, engine block, transmission, cowl and door jamb.
I've been around Mopars since I was 16(71 340 Challenger) so I hope to lend advice and receive some as well. Here are a couple of photos of both cars.

Nice! Welcome to the site from the Motor City!
Louvers long gone?

 

[EV2&Q5]

I have them. Previous owner did not put them on when the car was painted in 1999. I have no idea why he left them off.

 

[DetMatt1]

I’d put them back on, so rare.

The louvers will be installed..once I figure out how they attach! Thanks for the compliments. I bleed Mopar. I have a `13 Jeep 2 door Wrangler manual, my 97 4x4 Dodge club cab and that 1 ton Fargo in my avatar. I could have bought a new Challenger. They are great cars. But a wise man, my dad, told me old cars never go out of style. Plus....all old Mopars have that 'smell' when you get in them. And as much as the old e body rattle traps are they are the best looking muscle(or pony) cars ever to leave Detroit or LA with the balls to back up their looks.

Louvers may be difficult to attach as previous restoration left off attaching pins.
