Were they all plastic, or did they have a metal frame?

Does a mullet come with the car?

Does it look like a Camaro?

My B-body M73 car has a metal frame with the "rubber" coating. I have never paid attention to the E-body bumpers to know if they are a metal frame or not.

nice car man

time for some slots on those shoes!

I kind of dig the Fentons, but I'm betting up close they're pretty beat up. Plus, I bet they're unilug too. Hell, I'm old and I haven't seen Fenton wheels on anything in 25 years. A good set of real old school slots would work though, not those ugly ass things that Ansen is selling now.

I like it, but prefer the Scamp. In fact, I built a Swinger just like it on a drag racing game recently.

I've always like Fenton wheels. But I read this a while back online and found it funny.

Fenton five-spoked wheels were inexpensive and not outstanding in any way in their day. Aaron Fenton was a marketing man, whose most notable accomplishments were taking over Don Edmunds' cylinder head and intake manifold company and then shortly thereafter ending all of its production, and providing cheap parts on time to department stores. Fenton wheels have as much prestige as a Spark-O-Matic shifter, and about as much class as your daughter's boyfriend.

Cool Challenger but the wheels, tires, and ride height gots ta go.

I'm with this guy. That car sans dog in heat stance and some magnum 500's would be tits.

Nice find!

[SonicblueGT03]

Y'all are obviously a little younger than me. Coming up through the mid to late 70's, cars like this were what you saw on a daily basis (albeit with sometimes really gaudy paint schemes). I doubt I'll change the ride height much, but if it's up there with just air shocks, that will have to change. Needs a much bigger tire in the back too, so at least a 275/60, possibly a 295/50, will find its way back there. If it can come down an inch or so after that, then I'll do it. I have no desire to have another Challenger, or any car for that matter, that looks like every other car on the road.

yeah, Im betting that if you were around in the 70's, you might have kids my age.

You like what you like, and nostalgia has value. I used to see a pair of 65-68 Mustangs on my way to work, one that had a nice level ride height, and the other that's shackled up with big wide tires on rear, and what looks like the factory size on the front. The paint is nicer on the shackled up one, though I would much rather have the other one.

I get the feeling that Fitzwell is older than me, but I'm definitely one of the older guys here. I've always enjoyed the old look, but I like the level too. The Scamp has S/S springs that put it seriously high in the back, but it's got 2" blocks to bring back down. I do like Magnum's too, so you never know. Wonder if they make big and little Magnum's?
