Gypsy Racecar Survivor

Postby JJ » 21 Oct 2003 23:56

This is a 1970 Challenger T/A survivor with 2800 ! (yes, 2800) miles, ALL original and numbers matching. The car was converted to a Race-car when it was brand new.

It was only in a few races (22 race miles only) and then stored the last 30+ years.

The Gypsy was shown in the Survivor Tent at the Mopar Show in Carlisle 2003. This is one of the best and most interesting Challenger I have ever seen.

Jens sent short clip of that T/A. I had myself problems playing it so I converted it to two alternate formats. All three files are same but in different format. If first one doesn't play well try second or third.

MJPEG, uncompressed PCM audio (original, 5.8MB)

MS-MPEG4, compressed MP3 audio (converted, 3.8MB)

XVID, compressed MP3 audio (converted, 2.5MB)

Thanks Dave, do you have the newest Mopar Collectors Guide Magazine already ? There is a nice story inside.

The second video works perfect. The sound of this car is great.

I only subscribe to Mopar Action. The Collectors Guide I have only seen when in the US or Canada.

That T/A sounds almost as nice as my own car on open headers. :P

I never read it before until now. I must say it's quite impressive. Makes me wanna see this beauty with my own eyes.

If I'd had it I sure wouldn't drive it :P . Only would start the engine from time to time. :lol:

I know the owner of the Gypsy personally, there are more pictures of it on my website in the race cars section. I will send a link to the owner, hopefully he can give all of you some more details on the car. It is a beauty, that is for sure.

T/Ake care,
Barry
