That's right Dave, owned by 'Mitch' on here

Bit more orangey than cherry tho, I reckon

that is my old car it ran a 13.7 on street tyres at 107 mph. i've been in touch with Howard and gave him some history about the car as it is quite interesting. I bought it after a drunk rite off my first 440 R/T Challenger! If anyones got some more pictures of it or my Challenger reg 49L i think, I'd appreciate it?

Hey, only just seen this post after 2 years! Car used to belong to my cousin Lee, got loads of pics. Loved that car!

A few more.

Thanks Wayne for the pictures did your cousin buy it from me when I was in Walderslade near Maidstone in Kent?

Hi Chris, Happy New Year to you!

Talking of cars you've let go.... did you manage to sell your Challenger or decide to keep it?

The car was originally Paul Batemans he had bought it for £390 + tax from RAF Molesworth in the early 1980's it belonged to a US airman that had been deported back to the states after being set to prison for drugs offences. It was originally Turquoise and Paul painted it Triumph Primrose yellow. Before sold it he took off the aluminium tunnel ram and the rear gears. I still think he still has a couple off mopar's in sheds gathering dust.

If I remember right (which is doubtful!), my cousin bought the Coronet from `Kenny` Kenyon & it then changed hands again, before being bought by Howard Holmes.

yes was restored by Kenny well over 20 years ago,can remember a trip down south with Kenny and Olly to collect the car,three grand was the price as i remember.

Was that definately RAF Molesworth? I seem to remember a turquoise/blue 68 coronet at Lakenheath lurking in the back of the "hobby" shop yard around 1980/81 which had been left by a serviceman going back to the US. It still had class winner stickers from some drag strip in states in the rear 1/4 lights. We were told in no uncertain terms that it would NOT be for sale though.Anyone remember Pauls tunnel rammed Challenger? One of many cars he owned . Didn't he end up breaking the 68 GTX from the film " Shutdown".
