What made you decide to purchase a T/A as opposed to some other package?
My story; I loved Dodge and Plymouth cars since I was a kid. I loved the garish high impact colors and the bold stripes. My first love was the Plymouth Road Runner. I soon developed an infinity for the Charger and the Barracuda but I actually didn't even see my first Challenger in real life until I was in college. I fell in love with the car, especially the T/A due to it's stripe package, side exhaust, and P-51-like hood scoop. But I was in no position to buy.
Fast forward 40 odd years. I loved the new Challenger since it was released and always thought someday I would own one. About a year ago, I was delivering face shields to hospitals in downtown Los Angeles and a red Challenger with T/A stripes crossed my path and I was amazed. I had no idea the new Challenger had come out with a T/A version! I instantly hopped online and fell in love all over again.
I wanted a Go Mango T/A with a manual transmission, while Yellow Jacket was my second choice. There wasn't much choice of manuals to be found. As luck would have it, I found at Yellow Jacket T/A in Las Vegas in great condition at a great price and purchased it. On my way home, I cut across the desert from the 10 fwy to route 66. I was in the middle of nowhere with 1970's rock and roll playing, going like a raped ape down a road that looked like it was pulled out of "Vanishing Point" and I was in heaven. My memory of that trip home with the car is so vivid, it feels like I can remember every second of it.
I've had my T/A for a couple months now and still absolutely love it. What's your story?
