Thought I should probably stop lurking and say hello.
I have a 70 Challenger in the UK. Came into the country 20 years ago, been in the family for around 17, alongside a 68 Barracuda that my Brother and I owned for around 25 years or so.
Fast forward, my Brother passed away and I couldn’t keep two cars, so I moved the Barracuda on and took sole ownership of the Challenger. It’s undergone a lot of change since then.
Was originally a red, poverty spec /6 car, came in from Oakland CA. The original UK owner had it for three years and swapped in a 360 and a quick blow over in a non-original orange that I’ve never been able to match 100%. Prep was badly done, so it was falling off in places and generally needed a lot of attention all round.
In more recent years and a fair amount of mods later, its been geared towards running in Nostalgia Superstock, here in the UK.
Not setting anything on fire, time wise, but plenty of plans for more power, so chassis and suspension etc has come first.
Anyway, enough rambling from me, the forums in the UK have all but died now, so thought this would be the best place for stupid questions from now on.
Couple of pics for you, including the latest winter project pic.
Hope you all don’t mind some unknown Limey nicking one of your old cars…
