1970 R/T for photography

Postby ralphy_88 » 23 Feb 2012 9:36

Hi all,
Does anyone have, or know of anyone, that has a mint condition 1970 R/T available to be photographed? I work for a toy model company and we are thinking of adding this to our range for next year. Obviously we need to get every aspect of the car spot on and ideally we don't want to travel outside of the UK to see one to photograph. If anyone has any images please could they post them in this thread, or failing that my phone number is 01843 233500 (you will need to ask for Luke).

Thanks guys!

Professional Photographer Dave McBride took these photos of my car while I still owned it. It is in Germany now but Dave has a lot of detailed photos high resolution photos. I think he has done other Challengers in the past too?

Try looking here. http://www.moparuk.co.uk/feature%20cars ... ecars.html

The wheels and spoilers on mine were not original. But the bodywork and badging are. The interior and engine are modified too.

Here are some of the photos of my old car; http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... d7cf55d71d

You can contact him via his website at http://www.moparuk.co.uk

That's an amazing set of photographs. What we normally do though is visit the car ourselves and take our own photographs so we can get a feel for the car. We measure it up, getting all the critical dimensions, then spend a couple of hours taking photos. Normally if there are 2 of us we walk away with about 400 images between us. It's a shame it's in Germany!

If you could have waited until the end of July you would be able to see dozens of them all in the same place at Santa Pod Raceway for the Mopar EuroNationals. You could really fill yer boots there. :D
