G'day from a Newbie

Postby Daved » 20 Feb 2012 9:55

Hi Guy's,

Just signed up to the site, thought I’d introduce myself… names Dave, living in Dublin Ireland at the moment & for the last year I’ve been cruising around in my ’72 Challenger Rallye. This is my first Mopar but not my first Muscle car, I lived in Australia for a long time & have a few old Aussie Ford Falcons (still have two XB Coupes in a mates shed for when I move back) & have had a ’67 GTA Mustang (ex-wife has that now :cry: )

Sadly my Chally has some issues, so no doubt I’ll be bugging you guys for some advice soon… anyway here are some pics.. the previous owners made her into some sort of triple black pack 440 6 Pack R/T clone (sadly without the 440)

Yes this car blonged to Pat in Ireland. I sold him the trim you have around the bottom edge of the vinyl top. :wink:

Don't be too sad about the lack of a 440. The 340 cars drive much better.

The body looks very straight, judging from the photos. Congrats to a nice looking ride and welcome to the board. :)

Nice looking car, Dave! Love those 340 cars. Wished I had a SIX PAK for mine. Going to have to take care of my Suregrip and front valence first. Welcome aboard! :D
