We, as European residents but American car enthousiasts are pretty used to read American Forums.. Questing for data and things like that. So that's just really unusual but yet very cool to see an American man crossing the cyber ocean to land on the french forum! :)
Welcome Here Bob ( robert ?;) ) !

.... Impressive cars you've got! We need more and more pictures of these!!! The Challenger, the engines, interiors .... ;)

Here is my Challenger:

Although the color is orange my first thought was of Kowalski's white 70 Challenger in the movie Vanishing Point. What a magnificent car you have Guss.

Here is the a side view of the Superbird 3 weeks ago at the Louisville Car Show-I will try to find one that is also small file size from our garage Image

Here is a better thing. We recorded this video for our Internet business. Turn the sound down but both cars show up real well as do some of the others during the car show setup 2 years ago.

the BOB is a bar as same as "the fucking blue boys", it's a joke on the forum.

No way ! BOB means Blue Oyster Bar, it came from the movie "police academy", it's a gay bar !:boufon:

I can't believe it! I even like that movie, just forgot about the scene. Anyway no more BOB from here on-my first French lesson in 50 years!

Merci
Robert

Ahhh Kowalski, my master!

Congratulations on your beautiful cars, and welcome in Europe :) .

Here is my Challenger 70, not R / T, 383, but with an original story remained about 20 years at Chrysler and stored about 18 years, with only 8000 miles and 99% original.

Unfortunately not R / T. .. Image

Hello Bob,

Welcome here, and thank you for the sharing of all your beautiful things (winged or not !). :)

I will not join a picture of my car, because you will think all european Mopar owners are Challenger owners !
Yes, i have a '70 Chally too ... :P

But, ok, ok, only for you (!), just a lil' video of my car on the french roads ... ;)

I'm radio ham too, and some weeks ago, i talked with an US Ham, near Columbus (OH). Of course, our conversation was... the Mopar National of Colombus !
It's was really fun to talk about Mopar by radio, with another Mopar fan !

So, welcome here, Bob, and thanks again.

Kryss

Kryss-I love the video on the French Roads, the roar of the engine when you passed cars, but if I were you I would edit out that 1 place where a little blue Toyota passes you :)

The car show is the annual Carl Casper Custom Car Show in Louisville, Kentucky, near our home in Indiana. This year was the 50th anniversary-we have taken our cars only twice (2011) and (2013). It is held in the 3rd week of February and is advertised as the biggest show in North America. I do not know if that is true. A TV show "Muscle Car" on Spike TV came and interviewed myself and my son and my friend Mike who has a blue numbers matching gorgeous 1970 AAR Cude he bought brand new. The cras and the interview will be on the Muscle Car show in late summer. We are just two guys who were mechanics early in life and were lucky enough to be able to do most of the work ourselves in this very expensive hobby.

It is sincerely a pleasure to speak with Mopar lovers in France, to see your beautiful cars, the videos, etc. Thank you again. It has ignited an interest to visit France now! I have been in Netherlands, Holland & England but never France. Similarly for any French Mopar guys visiting the midwest US we would be happy to "show you around".

Curiously you seem to have a lot of Challengers. What about "B" bodies, or 64-67 or 71-74 later models. Any pictures or links?

Thank you again
Robert

If you come to Paris one day, I think that many of us will be happy to accommodate you, you may visit Paris and the monuments. In any case, I have set out in more or less time to come take a tour in the USA because I love this country.

There's a lot of b-bodies owners in here, it's just that... E body owners are very proud of their cars, and can't miss a chance to show it whenever they can :lol:

Seriously, 75% of the guys posting here own a E or B-body from the popular years. We don't know why because everyone whatever the car is (untill it's mopar) is welcome, but that's the way it is. :)

Talking about that, we still didn't see that 70 challenger R/T ??? ;)

Thanks

No other challenger R/T pictures right now-we are in the process of complete disassembly. Must remove all floor panels and frame rails front to back and replace, as well as inner fenders front and back, then slowly prime. I work a lot so even the disassembly is going slowly. We hope to get it mounted on some frame mounted wheels by the end of next weekend to start cutting out the floors.

Right now it is on the top of the lift over the Charger and a mess! The Charger is also in repair-replacing blown intake gasket and wiper motor before we can start back on the Challenger, Here is a picture from the shop last week. Image
