Ford got into the act too, of course. Hell, it was the 60s/70s. Everybody was stoned. #dodgechallenger

But seriously: Vikings fans, old timers that is, know nothing but angst over the certainty that the Vikes will choke, it's just a question of when...So allow us our cautious chest thumping...knowing that we are one "roughing the passer" penalty away from going back to the basement. #dodgechallenger

All they have to do now is get the 6.1l into the R/T, and it'll be perfect! #dodgechallenger

FC7 was a very popular color on the first-generation Challengers when they were new, and is an even more popular choice when these cars are repainted.
I'm not sure why Chrysler didn't offer Plum Crazy as a color option two years ago. If you are going to build the best-looking of the retro cars, you ought to do it in the best-looking retro colors.
Oh, yeah. That whole Cerberus thing. Well, at least they fixed the grille in time. #dodgechallenger

@pauljones: I get it. You're funny. This Challenger is PURPLE!! They are wrong to call it plum. This is the WOPCC (World Official Purple Color Chart). #dodgechallenger

@skaycog: This officially awesome 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A disagree. It says it's plum crazy. I think it's plum sexy. #dodgechallenger

Here in Australia up until recently, nearly all left-hand-drive cars (up to 30yrs old) had to be converted to right-hand-drive. Consequently there are a lot of American muscle in right-hand-drive format.
The main reason we can convert LHD to RHD so easily is because of the American heritage built into Aussie cars.
We use the running gear out of our 'big three' variants into the US 'big three' variants.
It saves doing a lot of custom work, Steering boxes, steering columns, engine mounts, suspension parts etc, they're just a mirror image of the LHD versions...
Example...
For a Dodge Charger or Challenger we use an Aussie Chrysler Valiant and Charger for parts.
For a Mustang or a Cougar we use an Aussie Ford Falcon. -almost a straight swap
For Camaro Firebird, Impala etc we use Holden Kingswoods
A lot of these parts are inter-changeable and in some cases the only custom job is the new dash cowling. We share a lot of parts with our yank variants and end up in a unique position to build RHD yank-tanks that's as close to factory as possible.
