Whose UK Challenger R/T?

Postby uk73andy » 04 Apr 2014 9:56

I could probably search, but I'm being lazy.... One of you UK-based guys will know who this belongs to! I was just going through some old digital images and found these from a Mustang show at Capel Manor in July 2006....

Is that the one with the Gator Grain top? Two guys owned it but they sold it a couple of years ago and can't remember who bought it.

Not sure - looks like an ordinary vinyl roof from the pics, and I didn't inspect it that much at the time!

I have a feeling that was something to do with Jim from Kidderminster's mate :idea:
...........and I think the Gator grain roofed car was a 383 R/T bought and then sold by Budge a few years ago, don't remember it lookin that nice either, I'm probably wrong :oops: :lol:

That's not a gator grain roof. IIRC all gator grain roofs were body color (or very close to)

Dopey me.

Yes the car I was thinking of is a 383 R/T. Giving myself a slap for not looking more closely at the picture. :oops: :lol:
