Hi - Interesting. I seem to recall someone saying that the new Challenger body would fit on an old Challenger frame. From what you say, that may actually be true - kinda cool when you think about it. When deciding on what car to get, I was actually attracted to the Challenger as well but decided to go with the Mustang as I never had a Mustang or pony car which I consider an American classic like the Corvette that I owned and was getting rid of. When the Bullitt was announced, my fate was sealed - the beautiful Highland Green color, retro touches and sleeper appearance( ie. no spoiler, no 5.0 call-out numbers, no pony on the grill, etc.). Iām an old school stick shift guy so the fact there was no automatic didnāt phase me... BruceFor sure, particularly when one considers that the Challenger is sedan based (off the LX architecture), like the originals.
