Two years ago lying in a field, I found this 72 Challenger, Really it had been stood up there for about 10 years not moving just disappearing into the ground,
And get this a 440 - 6 pak motor complete but in bits 727 auto and 4.10s in the rear,
I could not believe it and only about 2 miles from where i live, My friend was looking for just such a car so,
After much negotiating we purchased the car, my mate John Challis, ( member) buying it and took on the momnumental task of repairing her, the owner Andy used to race her and was going to restore her, YEAH RIGHT !
The car had tickets for 11.8s in the centre console so we were quite happy with that, and it was just as the car was left outside to die.
NO CHANCE.
CHECK OUT the pics and see for yourself
We fitted the engine and box this afternoon, built by Dave Billadeux at Brighouse Speed, He said it fired up and ran like a dream on the Standing for 10 year six pak that we gave new Vacuum actuators and pipe work and a good clean. Trying to finish her of for the Nats all being well
Enjoy

Just keep asking and Boring people about Yanks

Love it! Good choice of colour. Engine looks fantastic.

It nearly had a red tail stripe and red scoop on a silver hood, But John chickened out last minute.

Fantastic work chaps but what happened to the bonnet that came with the car,was it unuseable or did you fill in the rt scoops???

That original hood was a 3 in 1.Original RT scoops,the start of a cowl induction and a hood scoop on top.They dont do things like they used to eh??

the original hood was so so rotten it almost snapped in half when we opened the hood, it went in the bin minus the inserts, it was a nasty mix of scoops and an original bonnet, it was only 2 parts actually stock r/t hood and a 70s pro stock, aka Sox n Martin sytle scoop

Great work 8) Another one saved

WOW! that is turning out real pretty, good save !

now that shows what can be done, great lookin car
