Good Luck in finding this T/A. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

If by chance you are interested in a 1970 Challenger R/T S.E. 440 Four Speed with Dana Posi and the same color combination as your former T/A with Top Banana Yellow/Black Top and Black interior, I will have this car for sale in the spring.

Unless a typing mistake, the VIN you're searching appears to have the incorrect year digit.
If indeed a '70 and a 340 6-Pack car, is this VIN below perhaps correct?
Best of luck finding it!

I'd suggest contacting Barry Washington at http://www.challengertaregistry.com

He may be able to help you. There is a T/A here in Houston that matches that description, let me make a few calls.... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Great on the VIN clarification but here's one more thing to keep in mind when searching.
I tried Googling the Vin online as correct also substituting the letter 'ohh' for the zeros in one of each also both Vin positions of the two that have zeros.
What I found was your 'Lost Car Registry' post seeking the car where you had used one letter 'ohh' and one zero.
Using both letter and # possibilities is definitely best when searching but only if doing it on purpose being Google or other search engines will only look for exactly what you key in specifically.
Best is post using all possibles as below being who knows what anyone keying in a Vin may use themselves and you need them to land on your page regardless.

Again best of luck!

Hello All,
New to the forum. I have a Top Banana 4speed T/A. Recently when I brought my car to set up for the classic car section of the Houston Auto Show, there was a unique car that pulled into the display line right before me, another 70 Top Banana T/A 4speed car with a black vinyl roof. It was a Rallye dash car with both left and right side view mirrors. I do believe it was out if the Northwest, maybe the Oregon area. It was recently bought and brought to the Houston area.
I will try to load a picture when I get home.

Here's a picture of my T/A. 4speed non-console non-vinyl top. The top ones are of the new T/A similar to the one in question for the thread.

Love those T/A's. Saw an AAR in that Root Beer color just out and about the other day, which was really cool too.

Top Banana Yellow FY1 Challenger's are beautiful <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif
Not a T/A but an R/T S.E.
Here is a photo of my FY1 colored R/T
Again good luck finding the right car.

Hey AB <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cool.gif I have one of them - from Mr. Norm's....Has the right tires on it now. Those are the standard wheels....15x7 black Hemi rims with doggies and trim rings....rally's were optional on the T/A - standard on an AAR.

She ride nice with those radials? If I do keep mine T/A, the polyglas will be replaced with nice radial meats...

No AB - That's mine.... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

It rode ok with the T/A's.... with the fast ratio steering it was go-cart-esque.....I just don't like them. They are put on everything. I like the look of the original tires....but, I'm a picky son of a gun...Lol!

Maybe worth having a PI run the Vin for you. Unlikely to cost much and might help you find your old car.

thought I found you a car on one of my trips, but it was yellow with white top and interior.
had a 4spd.
I think that's a rare color combo. I see more of the yellow black black.
