Doug's Yellow '74 360 • The Dodge Challenger Message Board

The title is about all I have right now! Actually, the car arrived on Friday after a 2000 mile journey on the back of a car carrier. As soon as we get the software to download the digital pics to my 'puter I'll post 'em. This one is never destined to be restored - not enough information (no fender tag, build sheet, etc.). This'll be my Saturday Night Cruiser and occaisionally find it's way to the track.

Sorry for the tease, but I just had to get the thread started!

I can uderstand your excitement!

Well, I got the pics but the file sizes are all too big! High res camera makes nice pics, but I can't seem to make the files small enough to post. I'll keep trying.

Keeping my fingers crossed, here's my "new" 74 Rallye:

More to come...

And here's another from a slightly different angle:

Cleaned up pretty good after 2000 miles on an open carrier.

Looks pretty good for a weekend cruiser Doug. What's in it?

OK, here's the engine bay. It has a "race built" (whatever THAT means) 360, 650 Holley DP, roller lifter arms, headers, dual oil filters, SS radiator hoses, new radiator, 737TF w/manual valve body...all in all, it's a pretty good place to start.

It came from Ontario, Canada and now resides in the Salt Lake City, Utah area. It's not pristine, but should be on the road in a few weeks, probably with some help from you folks as I'll probably be posting questions here as I go.

I wish my car was all back together and running again

Here are a few more pics of the car as it sits today. I've replaced the Centerlines with 14x6 Rallyes for a more stock look (but kept the Centerlines for trips to the strip). Added the wing and the front spoiler, and a few other things not visible in the photos. Still have work to do on the rearend, body, and some electrical stuff, but it's getting there. At least it's driveable and LEGAL now! :lol:
