Well if your trying to fit your decoys in IT I would give up. I think it looks funny when you do it that way. IdecoyT and don't make any sense either. Get something bigger than an IT to put them in.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Bubba Brother... you Rock. I was all... "I'll bet it's a 6 cyl one..." but no!... you went and got the RT. NICE!!
I LOVE my RT Magnum, and I really LOVE how the Challengers look.
I assume from the pics that it's a 5.7 340 HP version, and NOT an SRT8, 6.1 425 HP one?
Either way... VERY nice brother... I am now OFFICIALLY jealous of you.

Jabba .. it's the 6.1 liter, 425 HP power train. We looked at the Charger but we fell for the Challenger, especially after I heard it start up. It's got that little "ROAR" when you crank it up. It also came LOADED with everything from satilite radio and GPS to remote start and sun roof. Did I mention it's got 425 HP? It's also got a 5 speed automatic transmission but when you hit the gear-shift to the left, it becomes a "paddle shifter".
We were going to trade the Yellow Mustang in on another Mustang but when I saw this one, I just had to have it. I took it out on a back road that no one travels too much and kind-a opened her up... she'll slap your head against the head-rest and I was running over 100 in a little over 1/4 mile.. I had to back off on the throttle at 125mph cause there was a crossroad coming up and I couldn't see if there was someone coming. Some night I'm gonna get up on I-95 and open her up and see if she'll really do 160 like the odometer says it will ... ;D ...

Maybe you can get a matching trailer and a trailer hitch.
Man I love those retro auto's. That is the one thing that could save the US auto makers.
I will take a 1965 chevy impala SS Please GM. With the big boat steering wheel and all.

By all accounts the new SRT8 Dodge's will EAT the old 426 cars. They are both rated at 425 HP, but the new cars measure it at the WHEELS instead of the crank, and with the new fangled stability control... it'll REALLY put the HP to the road. My Magnum will eat most cars out there now, and Bubba's will flat out EAT mine.
I think it's odd Bubba that your car has RT badges, but SRT8 engine. Now that I go back and look at it... it DOES have the 20" rims... which is a stock thing for the SRT8 cars.
IMO you need to do one of two things... take off ALL the badging and let uninformed people THINK you have an SXT version with the 6 cyl, OR get the SRT8 badges and advertise what you got.
I never knew they even put RT emblems on ANY SRT8's.
What SOME dealers did... was put SRT8 wheels, and seats in an RT and call it an SRT8 type. They did that some with Chargers, Magnums and the 300's. I assume they did that with Challengers too.
I needed 4 doors, and wanted to be able to haul the GSP's in mine. That's why I got the wagon. I opted for the RT instead of the SRT8 because of the gas mileage. I get 16-18 in town and 22-24 on the highway in mine, and STILL have 350 HP. You won;t get that in yours because it doesn't have the MDS. (Multiple Displacement System)
Bottom line is you gots a VERY VERY nice ride IMO.
Wow.
Jabba

Bubba:
A beautiful car. It looks almost like the original (which probably was the plan). I got a chance to drive one of the originals - it was an R/T as I recall - for about two weeks while the owner was borrowing my pickup. I think this one had the 318 cubic inch engine which was still no slouch. I liked it enough where I actually considered buying something other than FOMOCO for a while.
I hope my son doesn't see that picture. He's likely to drool all over the monitor. That is exactly the one he wants, but in fire-engine red or black. Personally, I think your dark blue one looks much better.

Do you know the price of a 1970 in that condition? Good investment to keep
