I wanted a restorer not only with the skills and knowledge, but also a passion for Challengers- and that is exactly what I got. You all saw what I handed to Nick, now you see what he's handed back. Thanks to Nick and his crew for making this dream come true!

@danielbutler578 Ай бұрын

If I could get any car back it would be my 70 Dodge Coronet with the 2 barrel Carter carburetor. The only change would be to have a 5 speed stick shift transmission instead of the automatic. That wasn't a tire burning car but it was a sweet cruiser.

Youre very smart and so lucky I bet you'll be winning trophys at car shows with it even if there's another 7 Kowalski clones there yours will be the best out of all of them lol! Beside the 5 general Lee clones and the blues Brothers cars hahahahahaha 😆 🤣 😂 😄 😅

Hi Nick: You know back in the day I graduated HS in 72. So I grew up in the muscle car hey day. And my HS was in Oak park Ill. I went to HS with many rich kids. I say all that to say this. I have been in some scary fast cars on the street. I had a '65 GTO that I put an L89 396 in and my dad had a '70 SS 454 Monte Carlo. They were both were pretty darn fast cars. However, a guy in my auto shop class, he was from a very rich family. He shows up one day with a brand new '70 HEMI Challenger, 4spd. car. So we had to go for a ride. Nick it scared the living dogshit out of me! So your build reminds me of those great old days. Great job Nick.

Great to see. I wish I could of put my 70 Challenger next to those two beauties. Mine is identical to those two except it is warmed up 340 and 727 automatic with 8 3/4 rear end. Air gap aluminum intake with a 750 Carter AVS. Crane cam .500 lift. Cyclone headers and a Milodon 7 qt. Oil pan with a Melling oil pump. Heads have been slightly ported with 3 angle valve job. I have owned it since 1979. I still enjoy driving it every week. And living in the Carolinas allows me the opportunity to do so. Thanks Nick and to Dan, what a pleasure you are in for. It is a Time Machine. Nick knows what I mean and you will too. Have fun.

Just to see you enjoy an almost exact replica of your Kowalski. Slap sticks are amazing. Dan will absolutely love it. Still ironic that even though it's an automatic, the white Challenger made it to San Fransisco many years later.

Let Nick know that Callies Performance has acquired the original Mopar tooling for 440 engine blocks and Gen 2 Hemi engine from 65-71. They have a foundry in Fostoria Ohio where they cast the blocks. They also produce OEM Hemi Cranks. This might give him another option if he has future customers that want an OEM block

After seeing the twin Kowalski Challengers I had to watch the "Vanishing Point" movie (it's free on UTube). I first saw "Vanishing Point" when it came out in 1971. At the beginning it shows a 426 Challenger RT and for the rest of the movie they used 440 Magnum cars - no need to destroy five Hemi Challengers. It was nice to see Kowalski using the pistol grip to punch through the gears of the 4-speed.
