G'day good people!

[Russ]

Signed up after someone posted the link on another forum. Same forum that recent recruits cluxford & AUSCAMARO hail from.

My name is Russ (obviously!). I live on the NSW Central Coast ... and I'm a bit of a Mopar fan!

Just bought myself a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T, but it's still in the US, so I'm just waiting for the finer details to be sorted before it can be chucked on a ship.

A bit about the car:

1970 Dodge Challenger R/T
383 Magnum
A727 Torqueflite

All #'s matching

Originally Red with white stripes, but repainted about 10 years ago in Cortez Silver from a '69 Chevelle.

Anyways, I'm boring and pics are more enjoyable, so here's a few of the many that I'll be spending the next 2 months drooling over until I get to see it in the flesh.



Cheers! :drink:

Haha, trust me, if I could afford it I would own nothing but Hemi's :shades:

Appreciate the offer. Looking over the forum I noticed you operate SMS Performance in Padstow. I have 1 mod I would like done and have been trying to find someone that is familiar with Challengers to do it.

Do you actually offer full mechanical services? or is it strictly an engine tuning/performance business?

Reason I ask is I'd eventually like to get the Hurst-Driveline Tremec 500 TKO 5 Speed conversion Kit to convert from auto to manual.

Do you do that sort of work?

It won't be soon. The car is 2 months away, and I've never driven LHD before so the auto is fine until I'm comfortable in it. But I actually hate driving auto's, and the 4 speed Chally's are harder to come by and more expensive, so I had to get what I could, while I could.
