Yeah, you are right. I have never seen a Challenger convertible driving on two wheels before, at least not when it is using one front and one rear wheel. :shock:

They are sensible enough to have a rollcage in it. :s023:

when i was a kid my dad had a small body shop in wellston ohio, one year i got off the school bus and there were 8 or more purple challengers in our yard and in the garage parking lot, they all had big dents, but one had a long dent in the center of the hood, the top and the trunk lid, dad had to get them all painted in a couple of weeks. the guy that left them said they just had to look ok from a few yards. he gave dad tickets to he show, at the show we found out how that dent got in the top and trunk and hood, a motorcycle went across it. also when i was a kid, there was a 70 challenger in our junk yard/ field, a man that was going into the army didnt have a place to keep, he was paying dad to keep it there, when it set there for a long time and dad never heard from thje man the car got crushed when all of the others got crushed. i played in that car alot, it was a 340 6pack, had a pistel grip shifter in it, was purple with the big flat black stripes, didnt have the engine or trans i n it though, it had racer brown decals in the quarter windows, whised i could have keep it now but was a kid then, what did i know, alot of other cool cars went through there to.
