I like. I just bought a white 71 Z & now am thinking i like that rim & tire combo !!!!!

Charley, looking at pictures of the fit of the RS front end on your ’70 Z made me realize that they did a pretty good job of putting mine back together. It just wasn’t done to the standards you see on today’s cars back in 1970.

Very nice! It was good to see this car being fixed properly.

Hey Tim nice to see your car is back together again it looks nice.
I recently bought a 1970 Challenger R/T S.E. 440 375 HP 4 SPD and i noticed your plates are in line with the one i got with my car from Texas. Any story behind those plates as mine were passed down since the second owner of my challenger.
Mine also had 1970 with a metal tag (that covers the 7 in 1970).
The HPP 833 is significant on my car as HPP could mean High Performance and the double PP is cool as my car is coded HP2 as a Second shift Built motor. The 833 is a code for a 4 speed Hemi transmission in the Chrysler scheme of things!!

Hey maybe you can help me dig up a "Dodge Town" dealer logo in Texas for me as that is were my car was sold from.
The "Dodge Town" sign is still there on location but no building.

How funny that you have a Texas plate with a number close to mine on your Canadian car. My plate is an actual, active plate that I drive with.

For years, there was a wonedrful guy in Lockhart, TX that gathered up old plates from nearby courthouses at the end of the year. He did this for years and his name was Dean Powell. Dean was the one nearly everyone went to to buy plates for their cars. Deans’ plates were never issued examples and he had boxes and boxes of them.

Dean passed away a few years ago and now people buy plates on ebay, but my guess is that someone bought your plates from Dean and put them on your car when it was in Texas. His plates were in order many times as they came in boxes of 25 when new.

As for the dealer emblem, I don’t know of that dealer, but I bet someone on this site can help you. Where is "Dodge Town" located?

[TimG]

I wonder if HHP 440 is out there, wouldn't that be cool.

[XXXGoldL34M20]

WOW,
Thanks for that info Tim.
"Dodge Town" dealership was in Robstown-Texas on East Highway 44.

Now wonder my plate came in the original envelope with the original paper insert that reads "See the Texas Prison Rodeo! Each Sunday in October-Guest Stars,Thrilling Inmate contests,Pageantry,Quadrilles-Huntsville,Texas" License fees are used to Build and Maintain highways,Better highways save lives time money ... Texas Highway department Austin,Texas.

This plate must of come from Dean Powell,i can just picture the second owner David Wayne picking these plates out of Dean's box and getting excited when he spotted the HPP 833 plate.

I'll be in Robstown next week, it's just out of Corpus Christi.
I'll look for it as I'll also be on East Hwy 44. How strange.

Robstown is a very small town, there's quite a musclecar collector there. He has a number of LS6 Chevelles, COPO's and a well documented '67 L88 Corvette. I usually stop by his office to say hi. I wonder if he knows of the dealer?
