Okay guys I know this isn't a Charger but, I have a 71 Dodge Challenger that I am thinking about getting painted by moparguy01 on the board here. My dilema is I'm leaning toward getting it painted Prowler Orange or Amberfire Metallic for you Dodge Folks.   However, I am also leaning keeping it the color it is as well but, I don't know. Let me know what you folks think. Also, I'm confused on the wheels to get. I currently have a set of 14" Slots on it. I thought about going to a Cragar SS or a American Racing Torqu-Thrust Wheel or Even Keystone Klassic Wheels. Anyways, I'm just kind of torn what to do.

Put a rear wing on it, and American Racing Torqu-Thrust II 15x8 Wheels on it. I like the color it is now.

Thank you for the reply. I was thinking about the color that the Dakota is in the picture attached but, I like the color it is now as well. I'm just trying to see what everyone thinks. I think it would look good either way but, I was thinking what color would help with the value of the car. I know the Prowler Orange would be more of a high impact color vs the VW Color it is painted now. But, I don't know. Maybe I'll get some more replies since the E-Body Board is down.

I like the color it is. Also like the slots. Cragar SS would look good too, JUST NOT OVER 15" dia!!
PA LEASE!!!

Anyways, I figure I'll keep it for now. Thought about selling it but, with what's out there now I know what this car is being able to trace the history back and knowing it is a Wyoming Car for 85% of its life. I don't want anymore projects. Anyways, its still in Minot but, will probably be down in Fargo or Bismarck the first of the year for a repaint just have it because I want a nice looking car by Spring or Summer. The paint doesn't look bad but, the rock chips at the bottom get it and when I went to go visit the car a couple of weeks go I found a few spots that concern me that have started recently so off to the paint shop. Thanks for the input though. Keep em coming.

Well I would leave it but, the problem is there is a ton of rock chips at the bottom and the paint is 11 years old. It still looks great for its age but, the last time I had a chance to look at the car was a couple of weeks ago I have those noted areas. Whoever did it though the paint sure did last a long time.

I also vote for leaving it the color it is and adding Cragar wheels.  I'm kind of old school that way.

Thanks again. Keep them coming. Guess I should of put a poll on this thread but, oh well.  ;D
