Default 1970 Challenger TA

When I was attending Idaho State University in Pocatello back in the spring of 1972 I saw a bright yellow 1970 Dodge Challenger TA on a used car lot. I stopped to look at it and even got to test drive it. What a car. I couldn't believe the awesome acceleration when I took it out on the freeway. I wanted to buy it but knew I couldn't afford it while being a college student so I had to let it go by.
What I am now wondering is does anyone know of this car, what might have happened to it, or where it is now. It was bright yellow with a black interior and auto trans. I don't remember it having back window slats but think it might have had a black vinyl top. It most likely would have been sold new at the Dodge dealership, Paul Jones Dodge-Jeep. The original owner that I got to talk with was a Native American. I don't remember why he got rid of it, if memory serves me right he needed a car that got better gas mileage. Thanks for any info anyone might have.

There's an identical twin to the car pictured outside of Fairbury Nebraska, but I'm fairly certain it came from Topeka. I think Top Banana was fairly common on T/As

Thanks guys for the responses. Yeah, that is exactly how I remember it looking except I am pretty certain it had the Chrysler rally wheels, not like the ones in the picture.
