There is a big Chrysler/Mopar show in our town this weekend! One showed up early, next to me downtown. I took some photos for treeduck and JohnRogers-

 

I know it's a Challenger, but I'm not sure the exact year, I'm sure you guys will know!

Based on the bumpers it's a 1972. The front and rear facia 1972-1974 is the same. '72 didn't have the large rubber bumperets.

 

Useless Mopar knowledge comes through again!

Thank you! All I could think was early 70's!

:hug2: Here's a hug! I miss driving around in those 70's muscle cars with my sister, who's 1 year younger than I am. We just were at a family reunion last month and laughed ourselves sick over some of our adventures. My dad was partial to those cars. The fun ended when my mom bought an OMNI. An OMNI ! It was terrible in several ways. :D
