bit of a cross between stock and old fashioned street machine   has edelbrock rpm manifold and 670 street avenger carb . depending on finances could be upgrading  to aluminium rad with shroud etc. mostly engine bay mods  with stock body .  have a set of new cragars to replace rusty ones on it now(rusted during trip over here and just wouldn't stop )  15x7 and 15x8 , back to original fc7 with white roof stripe  front/rear spoilers  re-chromed bumpers etc.  having 4 speed rebuilt to stop the jumping out of 2nd problem +new shifter kit  from Hurst  .have been collecting bits and pieces for the last 12 months

Hard to beat a 4 speed B-body.

Any color, any gen. 

Was actually looking for a bird when I found my Challenger back in 77.
