Florida Mopar Association ( Formerly Garlits) Car show. I was there today and ran across this Real 1970 TA Challenger. I was shocked to say the least. Has Canadian plates and it looks like he drove it down.
Your not going to believe what I saw today

Nice trailer mirrors!
And the inside looked like he lives in it.
70 with a 71 grill? However, driven is the best kind!

Real J code car? Nice 71 grille and fake hood too
I was only there today. A buddy of mine spent three days there. The location I think is better. There is plenty of room there and I think going forward it will be a better venue than Garlits. The entrance roads were dirt which a lot of people were not happy about. But the promoters said it will be paved by next years show.
I drove 1200 miles from N.Y. to check it out and it was worth the drive. I was impressed with the amount of vendors and the show cars. I probably wouldn't do it again, but got to see what other people are doing in this hobby. Also gave me a chance to visit the Garlits Museum. Nice job FMA.

WTF
I don't remember seeing one?
OMG. Some people's kids. Sort of negates the need for that spoiler doesn't it? Must have been one of those rare Canadian TM2 coded options. LOL.
Naw, it has a fifth wheel ball in the trunk.

I like it. A car that is being used as a car. I know its shocking but that is what they were built for.
I'm not knocking anything about the car, its those damn truck mirrors than suck!
T/A Challengers built for towing? No I don't think so.....
Looks like a car being used as a truck. haha.

I am sure it would look better to some if it came to the show in a trailer but not me.
Or maybe dealer installed. I can hear it now in 1971:
"Yeah I'll take it, but I want you to put on some towing mirrors for me."
"Yes sir we can make that happen."
Yep that's it. Nothing but Trailer Queens for me. Whatever. Trailer mirrors are never going to work for me on one of the sharpest looking cars ever built. To each his own.
sweet and the truck mirror option too. one of one.

Thats what I was getting at "To each his own" He is driving and enjoying the car rather than not driving it even if the mirrors look stupid.
Yay we agree!

Don't recall seeing it at Moparfest ever but hopefully I'll get the chance to shake his hand someday , He's driving thousands of miles enjoying HIS car and all the haters can lick sack .
