Default New Zealander on Board!!!

Hey lads, obviously new here, live waaaay down under in little ol New Zealand.
Here's what I drive:

1970 Dodge Challenger R/T
440HP Magnum 375hp
Heavy Duty Torqueflite-727
8-3/4 Sure Grip 3:55's
All #'s Matching

Major options include: Power windows/Brakes, Vinyl roof, Rallye Cluster and A/C-heater.

I'm 21 years old 22 in July, work on a Farm. Surf, Fish, Golf, Drink and go hard in life.


After looking for a Mopar (e-body) for 2 years I almost gave up when I logged on to the web found a site I had never seen and saw there was a Challenger 25 minutes away with the options above
Went and had a look, turns out several people had called and it was only on the net for 2 days before I saw it, he let me see it first as the other people were in Auckland (12 hours away).
Brought it and now it's 50% through it's full restoration. Up to painting, which is being done professionally as I don't want to stuff things up on this Mopar. One day I'll do a full resto by myself but for now I want this bad boy back on the road as soon as possible [8D] The last owner stored the car for 20 years and it came into NZ in 1971!!!!! Have checked all the records and even spoke to the original owner who could still remember it and even it's main options!!! lol!!! [sm=lol.gif]


Here is a photo: (Only have a few photos as I drove it and hardly took photos of it plus the resto was started only a month or so after I got the car.
Nice site by the way [sm=smiley16.gif]

None in here from there that I know of yet. I wouldn't mind helping out. It is more active for me here, but not as many classics.

No minimum post # required here, just click on the control panel at the top of the page to change your profile and settings. In there you can upload your own avatar, up to 145X145 pixel or 10KB whichevers largest.[sm=smiley4.gif]

Cheers bud. Yeah not too many Classics but it's all good. They will probably start to build up and see more Muscle arrive hopefully You should ask (email) the Admin to be a Moderator mate. Your got a good head and have more than enough posts, I'm sure he'll be more than happy to have you on the team.
