The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Here are a few pictures of my Challenger from around 1976-77. Sorry about the back drop it is the autoshop area at my high school.

The gal in the driver seat is my first real girl friend. I met her crusing State street in S.B. Ca. She was driving a really nice, but mellow 66 Mustang. Her car generally stay home except when the Challenger needed repairs. (Or I was out of gas money )

Here's a couple more. Check out the antenna. Must have really wanted those far out L.A. radio stations.

Sweet ride.Very cool! Thanks Jon, that is a cool backdrop! I too had shop in "high" school. It's where all the gearheads and drop outs hung around. I was at home in that enviornment!! Nice looking chick! Way too skinny for the chicks in my high school. They usually drove old pick ups with heavy duty suspensions.

Absolutely love those tires, nice and square looking. Wicked pictures.

Love those pics! Do you still got the very same Challenger Jon?

Yes Jimiboy, it is the same one I have today. Here it is a recent picture. Quite a change in colour. Once the 340 tires I plan to restore it back to the original metallic tan.

I love seeing photos from when these cars were still in an original state. Thanks for posting those.

That is so cool Jon I really like your photos.. Have you had it since factory new? Does'nt really matter, i find it really awesome anyway! I like that colour... (Metallic tan, is that "brown"?)
I really like to find prewious owners and get some history of my car, just for fun! And i would really love to have some old photos of the car how it looked like back in the days...


Have a Nice day guys..

R/T-emblems on the fenders but not on the grille and trunk lid?

I think you are right the colour was metallic brown. I am 3rd owner as far as I know. The second owner was a kid that only had it a year or so. As for the badges Chris, that has puzzled me also. The black & white pictures are what the car looked like when I got it. Even the dent in the door. I added a few more later on.


Here is a couple color ones from around 1980.

Was your car a 340 package car? (sorry I keep forgetting who has what). They often got the R/T badges by mistake.

Yes Dave an a66 I believe. Not too good with codes and such.

Here's a few more I just found. Me and my gal.

Just beautiful pictures Jon . I like them and keep ´em coming

Ah, It must be the same colour as this? http://challenger.mpoli.fi/forum/viewto ... =3753#3753
I think that tan colour looks quite cool, really odd anyway...

I went to Barry's site and found that the colour was FT6 - Dark Tan Metallic. My pictures are a little old and seem to have red hue to them.

My girl friends father was a hobbyist photographer. He took the better of the photos. He even developed the film and made prints of the black & white ones in his lab.

Thanks for your interest and here are a few more.
