Quote: Here is my friends A66 Challenger.His dad bought it new and is shown here fresh after a three year full blown resto. Argent silver grille.
Great looking Challenger, but presented here is an example of a "Full Blown Resto" with incorrect('71) center caps, no trim rings yet, and we are to take the word of the poster that the grill is correctly restored.
Understand my point is not to bash your friend's car or his effort, but after 40 years, the original poster of this thread is looking for a concrete example or answer to his question. Again, no offense intended and I hope you see where i'm coming from.
I have an 1969 A12 Bee clone that the old timers in my area swear my hood has the correct rough flat black finish, but i'm not so sure as i've seen them restored shiny, flat, rough...
I am by no means an authority on the 70 grills, just genuinely interested in the correct answer for the original poster of this thread.
No offence taken. My friend took the liberty of adding things for his own personal taste and is not out to gain any points at car shows. Being in the same family since new,he will tell you what he did add or change on the car. He likes it and that's all that matters to him. It was passed down to him from his late father and he hopes to pass it to his kids. A rolling heirloom.
The hood pins were added. I already mentioned the wheel lip moldings and wheels. The reason for no trim rings is pic was taken right after I parked outside my shop after doing a safety and alignment.The rings were left off to do the alignment.
As mentioned,his Dad bought the car new.My friend grew up in this car and confirms the grille has never been changed and did come Argent Silver.
