Default RE: Start Ordering R/T Classics.

There was no generation CHALLENGER after the '70-'74 until the '08 CHALLENGER! These are THE second generation of CHALLENGERS. Those monstrosities from the '80's WERE NOT CHALLENGERS! They were Mitsubishis and crap! No offense, just a little touchy when it comes to Challenger heritage.

I remember seeing a '70 Challenger at the '84 Mopar nationals, a T/A that was triple black (including stripes), and was the rarest (only 1) of the T/A's. The stripes were very subtle to say the least, but it was OOOOOOOOh so COOOOOOOOOOl!

1984 was the only year the MOPAR nats were held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and I, in my lowly '73 Challenger 340 got to drive the track along with some of the rarest of the MOPAR breed. I'll have this memory forever. Yeah I'm old!
