I picked up this Challenger about four years ago. It's an original U code (440) automatic that was ordered from the factory with the sunroof option. It's a pretty well optioned car that is EB3, Light Blue Metallic, white vinyl top, B5 blue interior. Along with power windows steering and brakes, rear defrost, console shift, dual chrome mirrors, luggage rack and a few more things. It has two original build sheets, original motor and I picked up a correct replacement transmission. The car was sold new at a dealership called Normandin and spent it's whole life in the San Jose area of Northern California where the dealership is still located.. It's pretty much rust free and complete with most all of the original parts and hardware.

Here it is at my buddy Dave's shop with just the suspension and sunroof stuff left. Dave will be supplying his expertise during the restoration.

Please add me to the "Now Following" list. Can't wait to see more progress! I maybe mistaken but you say U code, do you mean T code? I thought U was in 1971.

Thanks Eric for getting a thread started on this car. I was wondering if you had gotten started on it. Following!

What is this all about? I never heard of it or saw it before. I am interested to know what it means You must be new here. A few years back now, Moparts was just humming with all the folks who owned "Rock" signed cars. Don't think they ever figured out who it was but he worked at one particular plant and a LOT (literally, a LOT) of B and E body cars feature his "signature" hidden somewhere.
