Test drive/ burnout in a Challenger

[moparornocar2]

After the car sitting for years, and my son raising hell in his Cobra, I could not take it any longer and had to at least take this project for a ride. Hopefully It will motivate me to get it done.

I know the 440 would be bada$$, But one day this will be worth a bunch as it is a numbers matching car with wierd options, Black on Black on Black with satin Black strobe stripes, 340 four,slap stick (727), 391 sure grip, anti sway bars, front disc ( funny how disc brakes were an option back then), Ralley dash (150 speedo). And air conditioning that works! The engine does have headers , a cam, and a Holley carb, but other than that totally stock (I have everything to go back to stock). The interior is 100 perecnt restored and now I have the body work and paint left. I know it won't beat my sons Cobra, But when I get a few issues worked out we will see how his 00GT stacks up. About 20 years ago I had clocked a 13.4 at 101 with it.
Thanks for the compliments.

Sounds great:thumbsup: What all do you have to do to finish the car?

 

[moparornocar2]

Mostly all that is left is the paint and body work. I have been doing one spot at a time, And hopefully will work my way all the way around the car before fall.

my friends uncle has one, it is a 73 also but it has a 440 6-pack! it sounds wicked but he hasnt took it out in a while, but he is supposed to call me and my buddy to take us out for a ride! he says that it hauls ASS!!!! :rockon:

 

[mattmoto441]

Iam also wondering how that will keep up with or beat my 00GT vert?

 

[mattmoto441]

OK , Raced the Challenger last night, First run Challenger jumped about one car and slowly pulled two. The second run Challenger jump a half a car and was spinning (I had DRs)I pulled up even and we stayed that way. Third run was about the same as the first except we went well over a quarter and I then caught the Challenger and went by, Thanks to my five speed and his lower geared three speed auto.

COOOOOOOOOOOOL! That little 340 sounds great.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I had head gasket problems with my 69 Dart GT. :cuss: 340 / 4 speed.

But that sucker was quick.

 

[moparornocar2]

Thanks for the compliments,Next time I will have Mattmoto put on his street tires or I will go with a drag tire of some sort too. I also think I will go with a taller tire like 29" as these are only about 23-24". All in all it was fun to see how the two compared, old VS new. Not gonna line up next to his Cobra though!

 

[rev440]

Nice car,

 

[vegaspackerfan]

Love the 340 engine. Great motor that can make big numbers when done right. A friend a few years ago(15) used to have a 71 duster with a 340 that car was wicked back in the day.

Sounds like a bad ass car. Years ago I saw a '70 Challenger T/A with a similar paint scheme. It was a 340 6-pack, pistol grip 4 speed car.. black on black, with the T/A stripes in black too. The stripes really only showed at night.. they reflected kind of a gold color. Wicked car.
