G'day

Hi guy’s,

Names Dave, I’m currently living in Ireland & this is my ’72 Challenger…. The last owner made her up to be a 440 SixPak clone.. but she’s really a Rallye with the 340ci V8, but she does have the SixPak… I’ve not done a lot to her in the 18 months I’ve owned her, replaced all the shocks, replaced a lot of worn driveline parts & some new interior trim parts

In a few months I’ll be moving back to Australia & I plan to take her with me then… she’ll be well travelled if I do.. US to the UK, UK to Ireland & then Ireland to Australia.

I’m hoping that you guys might be able to help with advice & tips as I look to do some work on the old girl over time.

Your not wrong.. It generally costs more than the part did to ship the parts & pay the customs duties When shipping here to Ireland.... I reckon if you where restoring a whole car it would be cheaper to ship back stateside, have the work done & then ship her back

Extremely Beautiful Car.
We don't see too many with all the early '70s parts. The wheel tire combo and the steering wheel for example are not common here anymore. Very refreshing to see a car done like they were in their hay-day.
ever seen a movie called gone in 60 seconds?
The shot of your Challengers grill reminded me of the orange Chally with the plates that said OOO-GIRL
And welcome to the site.
