Goodday Louis, Happy to read the details and sounds you enjoy on this car :-) Glad to read we have a happy ending too. Cheers and thanks for being my # 1 Fan in Australia, Lou

Louis, I hear that you also have some nice local Mopar muscle from this era in your part of the world. Also, out of curiosity, since you all have your own utes, how popular were the Chevrolet El Camino, GMC Sprint, and Ford Ranchero in your country?

Hi Barrycuda, Happy to read "Very nice" :-) Lou

​@@loucostabileI love Vanishing Point though. 🙂

@@barrycuda3769 The real gearheads back then left these exactly as they came with 1 or 2 changes. Friend bought a new, yes, Vanishing Point white one. Only thing he did was find some wider steel wheels for the back, have them painted correctly, put the dog dish caps on, and changed all 4 tires to Coopers. They were a soft, well sticking/pavement grabbing tire at that time. Super Mags-with the white letters turned inward. Vanishing Point, only watched them destroy a Challenger ONCE.

Hi Cameron!

Hi Ray 56, Hmmm, interesting you had that paint issue too. My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou

@@loucostabile The others I seen were at a large dealership that I was directed to when I had concerns about mine. Only 1 of the other cars was associated with them, the other 2 they had pictures of from across the country. Their problem was a customer came in wearing a gun threatening them with giving him his money back or he'd get it through a lawsuit or another way. He accused them of taking a car off the lot and painting it because he wanted a white car and they didn't have one. They showed him the tag, their paperwork, his paperwork where it left the factory as a white car. These weren't special cars like this Challenger but run of the mill cars, his was a Fury, mine was just a little more than a lot car but only a '73 Charger SE, 3/4 vinyl opera windows, 400 4-bbl, duel exhaust, air, cruise, full power. The dealership went bust after the next gen took it over but if I ever get to Mo.-which I don't plan on doing-I think the Charger could be sitting in a fence row and I could take pictures of it. It's one of the things I signed over to the future ex before filing for divorce, I don't think it lasted another year with the new guy and it ended up parked, son said it looked like a banana after landing on it's nose.

That is a good name :-)

Long live the King! You're welcome luxor 8071

It's a Challenger, not a Cuda.

@architypeone8646 my bad 😆

Hi Allan, Happy to share this one with you. I search great car shows like the Chrysler Nationals and share the ones I like with you. You should come to one of their shows, Lou

​@@architypeone8646 honestly, aside from some packages and appearances being different, they are both functionally the exact same car. Any true gear head knows that to be true.

This is a rare car too. Seems the Black Ghost had a 4 Speed and quite the racing reputation.

....just the way we like it :-)

Amen!

Thank you for sharing what you would prefer.

@@loucostabile I don't know about "prefer" but a one of none would be cool. 👀

Yes Jon.

Hi Fritz, Thanks for sharing, Lou

Thanks for sharing what you notice.

3-70. The zero with a line through it distinguishes it from the letter O. See the sixth character in the VIN below. It's a zero to signify the model year of 1970.

I see you now have the answer.

Hi Rajesh, Type into RU-vid search "My Car Story with Lou Chrysler" & "My Car Story with Lou Dodge" & "My Car Story with Lou Plymouth" & "My Car Story with Lou DeSoto" and you'll see MANY cars you'll enjoy. Make sure to watch the commercials as that's how I get paid so I can share with you, Lou

Hi Dan, Thanks for viewing and sharing, Lou

Rich, I'm pretty sure this is "the paint" that came with the car, Lou

Hmmm, not sure.

I did the same thing on my Challenger T/A shortly after I got it in high school 45 years ago. I installed an Autometer one though on my steering column. My factory tach worked, but they just weren’t that good. I’d rev the engine, the Autometer needle would jump instantly, the factory one on the IP behind it lagged. Of course when I concours restored the car 10 years ago, I didn’t put the aftermarket tach back on, but I’m not running the car hard now either like when I was a kid either!

Thanks for sharing.

@@bradschroeder809 thanks

Hi George, seems you've sharing what you notice, Lou

Hmmm, not sure.
