If you're on Facebook there is a group called Nostalgia Pro Stock. I've seen lots of old pictures posted of cars I never knew existed. Pretty sure I saw a '72 in Soapy Sales paint, Larry Huff maybe?

If you google Mike Fons Dodge Challenger there is a pic of him driving a '73. I think most of the guys switched over to the A bodies.

Back in the day, a Friend of mine, Byron Copper in Knoxville, bought a 70 Challenger Factory Pro Stock from Bill Tanner. This was in 72, And that spring, Dodge sent him the nose and tail pieces to change his car over to a 72 model Challenger. I suspect this is what happened to most of the other 70/71 Challengers out there.

Bill Bagshaw's Challenger was updated before he replaced it with the Dart/Demon body style.

Dont hold me to this ( from old memories of a car bought mid eighties) but I think there was one with Ramchargers on the side...

I was thinking Shay Nichols, too. They were not uncommon, they were around...
