440 R/T SE. Mmmm. So that makes three of those I know of over here. I know of one 383 R/T SE.
There is also a Pro Street SE being built. Not sure what original engine it had though.

I only know of one other 440 R/T apart from ours.

It looks nice. Shame it is that funny purple (although, according to your matrix, the most popular colour in 1970).

What would be nice is a B5 car with white top and white interior Image

Is Eddie's car an SE ?

Yeah. Eddie's is the 440 R/T SE that John Marsh put together. Used to be at just about every Mopar Nats here.

my black charger was originally f8 green -no way would i go back to that
despite its rarity
on the other hand i love my t5 copper 383 charger for its color-i even correct everyone who refers to it as gold or worse -brown
would you go back to b5 dave? :wink:

I do have a soft spot for B5 Blue Chris. Not for my Challenger though. I would only consider black or hemi orange. I do like white tops and interiors on orange cars. I like red interiors in black cars.

If I had to have a B5 car it would be a 1970 Charger with matching B5 interior.

Crickey! This is a VERY old thread. That Challenger has been through a few owners since.

Never heard of Woody's Diner.

And welcome to the message board. :wink:
