Hey he put the right grill and wing mouldings/strobe decals back on!

, people usually do the opposite.

Any reason he didn't fit the big bumper overiders? I can't remember seeing another Challenger in the flesh with those, (other than mine).

It was advertised alot in CA from one of the dealers, a small picture inside a showroom, about 5 yrs ago. Can't remember which dealer.
It was also at the Ace Cafe Mopar night in 2004 I think, but I havent a photo. Maybe someone else has. It was the night of the cold and rain (which one!!).
That was the previous owner to your Dad, just after he fitted the 70 grille,

Proud of you son.

But yes you could get slim ones right from the start. Not the ones in that photo above.

If this is a 4 speed car, I think I used to own it. I had to register it in the UK when I got it, and I can't find a photo of it with the British number plates. Think this was about 1990 which seems to be the date it was first registered.

It had the 72/73 front on it then. Only had it 6 months (couldnt get on with e bodies) and sold it to a bloke in Sutton (mate of Nippers).

If it isnt a 4 speed. Im talking nonsense.
