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 :roll:

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!! :mrgreen:

Nice looking chick! Way too skinny for the chicks in my high school. They usually drove old pick ups with heavy duty suspensions. :s002:

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

by **Jon** » 30 Dec 2007 16:43

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.. :thumbsup:

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... :lol2:

Have a Nice day guys..

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

by **Jon** » 31 Dec 2007 16:22

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.

by **Jon** » 31 Dec 2007 18:46

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.

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.
