Just thought I would introduce myself. I live in Morris County NJ and currently own a 1970 1/2 Trans Am, RAIII, 400 4sp, Lucy Blue. While I admit I'm a MOPAR guy at heart, this TA is a beauty and I couldn't resist getting her.

I am a HUGE Steelers fan (born in Bethel Park PA), I like most of the classic muscle cars, had 2 Iguanas growing up, I'm into Home Theater and music, I like to party and grill, then eat Steak.

Hows that for a summation? :cheers:

I believe your summation needs more pictures of a certain 1970 Trans Am. But itll do, for now, welcome to the site

:shock:
i wouldnt call that clean.. thats more like immaculate!!


and like ian said. if you like f-bodies and beer, you'll fit right in here... you should make it to one of our bbqs... beer (+ bacardi) + fbody people = a good time..... i think.

Welcome to the club! Great looking 'bird....

Even if you can't get pics bigger than the ones you have, send them in anyway. We can always use them for flyers if they are too small for the calendar.

You folks seem honestly decent and not too hung up on life so I say:

Thanks for the kind words and welcoming me.

Since many of you are nearby, I offer you all this....I'm close, real close to putting together a Drive In. Ok, more like a Walk and Sit In, but it's the best I can do for now.

Here's a shot (my old RT..disregard) of the wall. I plan on using the left one to display a 220" 16x9 movie which of course will be PG or lower.

I got the PJ and speakers picked out, all I need to do is order it all. That will happen soon, right after my neighbor fixes those missing boards. And oh yeay, shes been powerwashed and painted so this pic doesn't do her justice.

My point is, you are ALL invited.

Parents bring snacks which will be sold for 50 cents a piece. Parents are responsible for their kids. Parents are responsible for their kids helping in clean up. Parents are responsible in that they must visit my cooler which will have an assortment of 'needed' beverages.

:cheers:

:lol: that came up a few times. drop some elephant ears in it and put a 440 in the car. then it wouldnt be a POS chevy.

but alas... unfortunately one of his engines and a 4 ft drop of a block contributed to how i got my user name..

Hey, the guy that bought my RT would be VERY interested if you have a 69' 440. PM me if you do and I'll hook ya up with him.

Thanks!

I dont think I have a 69 motor, but I will check. I know I have a complete '73 engine, a complete '70, a '70 block but I dont know what year is in the Challenger. That motor may be coming out soon so I will let you know. Diva, you wanted the 70 block correct? If so I will ask him again, and see what he says. Thats the only one that is stock, it has a bottom end but thats it I believe. Ill ask him for ya though since we are moving he may just want to sell that block since it would be one less thing to move.
