Thanks guys...

Been tinkering with her all day ( took a day of vacation ), I work like the rest of ya........

It is a VERY solid and complete car.. It has been thus far learning about the idiosyncrasies of TA's. Like, I was about to clean off the black paint on the mufflers when it was pointed out to me they are supposed to be, they were painted black.....

That is what Kim and Jacob said, "Dad, how long are you going to keep this one?".......... I said, "If a Superbird, six pack '70 or another DONE XX29 car comes my way".......

Really enjoyed the car this weekend, as well as a lot of other people..... I participated in this year's World of Wheels Autorama in Houston. I was with my local Mopar club's display. The car did the club proud. May not be perfect ( well, it isn't ), but represented the club rather well. I was also approached by a professional photographer to have it in a paying gig for photoshoots for models ( pin-up genre )... So, that's cool. Also found a die-cast in the swap meet area....

PS: Yeap, still gotta get the "special instructions" air cleaner decal....

I'm diggin' the variety of high impact colors you've got going on in the garage, Troy.  All you need is a little plum crazy.

Went over to my buddies Hoss Leger and Cindy with Julie to show them my new TA. Thought we go to the cul-de-sac and take some pictures... One big block six pack v-code Challenger R/T and small block six pack j-code Challenger TA.. Excuse the driver's floor, it needs vacuuming....... 

Then, Julie and I went home...

Al, these aren't as bad as the F70x14's I have driven before, but they are still rough and follow the grooves, just not as bad....

I love your 70 T/A. I also love the 71 R/T's and convertibles.   The last of the good cars to own. :Twocents: :cheers:

Well, the time has come and gone on my fleeting E-body ownership. New owner of my former '70 Challenger T/A has come and got the car. I will be using the money to buy something I've always wanted tomorrow. I'll update that on another thread.... The T/A is a VERY cool car nonetheless and the new owner will really enjoy it..

Cheers, it was a fun short ride...

1. Last day in the Mopar Nest with the Daytona and '71 R/T..
2. Waiting to load'er up.
3. Secure in the trailer...
4. Off to the Detroit area
