Got it.. My 1st E-body... '70 Challenger TA

Hey gang..
Well, the time has arrived and I am officially an E-body owner... So, is there a secret E-body hand shake? It is pretty darn nice. I meet my friend Rick and Tammy who I've known for a LONG time back in my Active Duty Air Force days at Carswell AFB. I sold the black Daytona clone and bought this. With the money I had invested in the Daytona clone, the amount I sold it for and the purchase price of the TA, I have... ohhhhh, bought a TA for $6000.. :biggrin:

I drove it on base before we loaded it...... Man, it was nice driving a 4speed again........

Now, it is home next to the other race car, the Daytona......

Very nice Troy!  You need a revolving sig for your fleet the way it changes.  ;)

Who in their right mind would say

"The science should not stand in the way of this."? 

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

I've never had an e-body and would like to feel how they drive. (a bucket list for car guys is a big bucket). Was close to ordering a new challenger in 1970 but bought a 69 super bee instead.   :shruggy:
That looks like a nice example and a great investment for your cost.

Wow, very nice!

The last time I saw a 70 R/T Challenger in the rear view mirror on my trailer, a 18 wheeler took out the driver side quarter about thirty years ago.

Love the T/A's and AAR's! Don't leave it in the 'hood to get jacked like this one.
If it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is.

That is a sharp looking car indeed! Everybody needs to own an E-body just once to get it out of their system.    :icon_smile_big:

Hey Trav... That I am it looks like..... Kim and Jacob ( my son ), have already kidded me on how long I'll have this one........ But, it will have to take a badass Charger R/T/500 WITH 4speed or Superbird project to get me away from this one... So far, it is so cool and it sounds awesome.... Love that trumpet exhaust. Reminds me of my former Lil' Red Express trucks I owned with the exhaust coming from right behind me........

Thanks.. I'm already in the process of fixing the incorrect details in the engine compartment (needs the black strap for the heater hose and misc things)..

I don't know, it just looks that way. The guy is reaching under the dash and his lookout looks pissed off and coming towards whoever is taking the picture. It's just an old pic I found on the internet.
If it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is.

It could be those guys parents bought them that AAR Brand new, dude stumbled into a pic, and dude in the car could be trying to untangle the shift linkage.....

Or the driver is telling the person sitting on the hood @ the hinge area that sitting on the hood won't take the hump out of it.   ;)

In turn the person taking the pic says he can see the future & once the new hood comes in we need to save this old one since people will pay premium dollar for an original one.  That's why he has the WTF look on his face.

Something like that....
