Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
Sad story on the Allard...easy to see the cool frame construction though!.
Aren't 265's the only small block w/ the top center bellhousing bolt hole?.  ~ Pete

 [/ QUOTE ] The heads look like they have the "double smokestack" markings on the end, which were correct for a 57 2x4's engine (cast 3740997, big $$$ heads).

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
Here's a doozy. This car has been sitting in that driveway for almost 35 years under several car covers. I went past thus car hundreds of times as a kid and never noticed it. A buddy took me to look at it two months ago and I could tell it was a Challenger and the slots and Mickeys were visible under the bottom of the cover and the stubs for the rear spoiler were visible. I told my buddy to go talk to the guy and see if he wanted to sell so my buddy went by last week and the owner pulled the cover off and let my buddy shoot these two pics. The owner has plans to (finally) have the car sent "back east" for restoration and NO it is not for sale. They are out there and often right under your nose!

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
That's not a Hemi Challenger; that looks like a 73 to me.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
It is most definitely a 1971 Challenger R/T.
As evidenced by the unique 71-only tail lights, the 70/71-only side marker lamps, the 71-only quarter panel louver, the 70/71 high back bucket seats, the unique emblem hole position for the "426HEMI" emblem on the hood, (though the "426" part is broken off), the 71-only R/T upper quarter to front fender stripe, the 70/71-only Plum Crazy paint which looks to be original by the way it is sloughing off the car, the 70/71-only rear bumper without the jack cutouts.... If real, it's one of 75 built: 58 4-speeds, 12 automatics and 5 exports shipped to Canada.
