Drivetrain:
All the original parts are still in this car:  318 cubic inch motor with a 3 speed manual shift on the floor transmission.  8 3/4 rear end with 3:55 limited slip differential.  Sway bars front and rear.  This is a very odd set up of parts, probably due to the fact that the E-body line was shut down less than 3 weeks after this car was built.  It was probably put together with leftover, off the shelf, parts.
Chassis:
Original Chrysler Unibody chassis.  Old school Lakewood traction bars have been added, which usually isn't the way to go with leaf spring mopar suspensions (Pinion snubber is best).  Front disc brakes, rear drum brakes.
Wheels & Tires:
I have circa 1983 Cragar Wheels with vintage L60 -15 "Spartan Warrior" bias ply on the back, and Deestone F78 -14 bias ply trailer tires (very skinny) up front.
Body:
This is not the orginal color or stripes.  The paint job was put on when I first got it.  It is a Chrysler color called Sable Sunrise.  The gold pinstripes were added by my brother in 1981.  The strobe stripes originally on this car were removed.  It is a full Rallye version of the car with the raised hood and the fake gills on the side.
Interior:
All original in black color.

One of the last Challengers ever built, this one was built in February 1974.  This is the first car I ever owned,...

I think the new ones are fantastic! Once again, Chrysler did it right by bringing back the old body style, with only slight updating. The new ones look perfect! If I can just find about $42,000 I'll go out and buy one with a Hemi right away. If I had more, I would buy one of the new Drag Pak Challengers for drag racing only. It's like the late 60's all over again and I love it! Thanks for the kind words on my Challenger, and yes, I'm not going to change a thing! John

That's a great car! I wouldn't change a thing. How do you feel about these new ones?
