Howdy all! I've been a MOPAR owner since I was 15. Of course, that was 24 years ago so you can say that I've owned the good ole MOPARS for almost 1/4 of a century! My first car was a 72 Challenger with a 318, Slapstick on the floor, a Rallye Dash (didn't understand the value of that back then) and Air Conditioning (which never worked). I definately didn't appreciate that car back then nor did I ever dream what the value of these great cars would be today. Since then, I've owned other Chrysler products to include a 69 New Yorker with a 383, a 95 Cherokee Sport (the first year that Dodge owned Jeep) and a 1999 Grand Cherokee.

My latest addition is a 73 Challenger (must be going through my midlife crisis). It is a Rallye clone with a 340 six-pack and a 4-speed transmission. After spending 3 years in my garage, I finally got to drive this beauty 2 weeks ago Saturday! Did I mention that it's Top Banana Yellow? Oh yeah, after some modification to the air cleaner and intake hose, the AC works in this one!

Anyway, I joined this forum to share the information that I have gathered and hopefully get some technical questions answered!

Hope to talk to all of you soon!

Brian

Brian- welcome aboard. You have a car very similar to my cousin's. His is a '73 Rallye, originally a 318 car, but now with a 340 six-pack transplanted in it. His is an automatic, white with black top and interior. It's a nice ride. I know he'd love to have the 4-speed, though, as well as the working AC. I've driven it- with the 3.91 gears he has in it, it really scats!
