New to this Board

Ran across this Board after researching facts about my new car.

The previous owner "Patrick Chesnutt" who built the car has gone beyond the call of duty when I have any questions. He kept the car 100% Era Correct.

But I hope this board will help me further my knowledge on this car.

I had been looking for this car for over 11 months. I knew what I wanted in a car and was not in a hurry to buy one. Was looking far and wide from Ebay to Craigs List to Local Paper. Well I found this locally ‘Houston” and it was the first car I ever Looked at.

Hope I can offer some insight to anybody who has any questions, but mostly I hope to gain knowledge from some here.

1971 Challenger RT “Clone” with a 440 Six Pack and 4 Speed “Pistol Grip” .

Since I have bought the car I have had to need for my psychiatrists

Look foward to picking a few brains here.

I liked the attention to detail the prvevious owner had , keeping the car era correct.

Like the:

"Cooling Ducts"

On the 1971 R/T modesl a non-fuctional brake cooling duct was mounted in front of the rear tires on the quater panel.

Yeh . . . I am liking the car. Have met some really nice and cool paople at the car shows.

They have a local group called The Nifty Fifties that sponsors local car shows. Great Group. They put on a show in Spring , TX "close to my house" every Saturday Nite. If I had to guess I would say over 200 cars show up every Saturday.

It is really fun going there and meeting others who share the same interest.

One thing I have notice at these shows. Camaros-Mustangs "Ford-Chevy" are a dime a dozen. Mopars are scarce , making them very unique.
