I suspect you're gonna love that 340/4 speed combo. Back in the day I had a 69 Dart Swinger with that drivetrain combo and it was a whole lotta fun.

Hi Joe, yes, those have to be drilled, I could not get the hood in stock with them drilled when I got the hood from a local distributor (saved shipping). Car also has a factory elastomeric bumper that is going back on. Was not a shaker car. Only one 340 convert was made with one. Glad your panther pink one worked out that came from my area worked out! That car was tempting!

Hi Bill, I am totally expecting alot of fun with the car! 69 swinger darts I am recently informed on from a friend that has his dads car that is like the one you had. I learned from him, looking at the car, it was well reinforced, torque boxes, etc, and had desireable X heads. thanks!

Cuda 4 spd converts are pretty much the big dog of Moparland.
Congrats.

Only Challenger I ever owned and a plain Jane 14,000 mile hardtop.
It did not even have a rallye dash.
I added the rallye wheels and you are looking at its factory paint.


Much more common than your car.
It did have 3 good options though.
426, 4spd and 3.54 Dana 60.

daveg,
My neighbor, Norb S., from south eastern MN had a yellow Hemi 4 speed 70 Challenger in the early 90's. I remember seeing it when I was about 12 years old and it looked like a nice car but I'm pretty sure he had it restored. Could it be your car?

Yes that was my car.
I sold it to Fred Englehardt late August 1989 and he sold it to Bruce G the next day.
Norb was one of Bruces buddies.

Heard it got a shaker and black interior.
Someone added the radio prior to me having it so I left it. Besides it had a antenna hole added to the fender.

Very plain car but it was clean.
Trunk floor was scratched up a bit but still shiny yellow.
I actually liked the brown interior. Seats were mint.
Build sheet out of the right bucket was perfect.

FWIW Fred also bought my B5 blue- white top- interior 70 Hemi 4 spd Cuda 1n 1990 and the black 1969 Boss 429 Mustang in 2005. Before his jail time.


Bought land with money from all.

Back yard went from 80 acres to 510 acres.
NO REGRETS on that.

It very well could have been Bruce's car and not Norb's. Bruce worked for Norb and they both had awesome Mopars. I saw a lot of amazing Mopars growing up, living close to Norb and Fred.

Smart move turning those cars into land!!
