Hey gang..
Mr. Charger here is diving into the ranks of E-body ownership, that of a 1970 Challenger T/A... It is a Top Banana non-vinyl ( which I prefer ) 4speed non-console. It is in real good shape and I'm excited about owning my 1st E-Body... After restoring my buddy's '71 v-code Challenger R/T last year, I sort of grew to like it. Soooooo, with that said, is there a thread on the idiosyncrasies of Challenger T/A's? I'm sure there are little things here and there and that's what I'm looking for.... More pictures once it is home ( hopefully in two weeks ). It is funny how things fall into place. Wasn't even looking for a E-body, was going the Charger R/T route after I sold my Daytona clone. Got it from a good friend of mine I've known for decades.. I hope to have it home in about a 1.5 weeks..

it's an older restoration, couple of years. The original block is long gone, but was replaced with a real TA block. Has all the other TA-specific stuff if I recall correctly.

Some T/A info at www.aarta.com & www.challengertaregistry.com

You will love the 4 speed T/A. They handle so much better than the B bodies. Good luck with er

I've been tempted by the go-mango that's been advertised lately

I miss my white 4 speed T/A! Might try to get back into a T/A eventually now that Barry is in the area

The next AAR & T/A Reunion is at Carlisle next July, so start planning now.

Congrats, you'll love it. Looks to be real clean car. I am knida bias towards T/A's...

There are many "special" things about the T/A to watch for. The big ones are:
* 340 six pak callouts on the correct side? Your's look good
* Proper use of blackout paint on the cowl, radiator support, inner fender bolt on area, rear spoiler, and rear spoiler.
* Nuts (rather then bolts) to hold down fenders

And many more. Barry sells a CD set of photos of the 173 mile T/A which is great for reference purposes (although even that car was modified).

Looks like a great car.
Enjoy

Lots of folks want absolutes when there are none.

Debbie's low mileage T/A had the 340 call outs installed on the wrong sides.

Norm's low mileage T/A had a driver's side Scat Pack Bee installed on the passenger side so that it faces backwards.

The T/A I used for the photo disc had three fender studs on one side & four on the other.

Four AARs with the rear window louver package that was supposed to include dual mirrors are known to have been built with (and coded for) only one mirror.

If your car has not been apart before, do not doubt what it tells you.

Neat car, I like having a B and an E body.

????????
Are wheel lip mouldings available on TA's or not?

Thanks guys...

Needless to say, I've been doing my fair share of picture viewing on TA's and have seen a couple with the mouldings.. Nice to know I don't need to worry about those pesky things...

I think you need T/A hood springs,really nice car . Long time ago I had a T/A its long gone parted out, trunk lid had factory cut outs for the spoiler, mine had dual mirrors and no louvers,

AlaskaT/A, how do the 340 call outs get installed wrong any pics?
