    So, I finally was able to get my R/T Scatpack Chally. Back in my 30's I actually owned a 70 Dodge Challenger and ended up selling it cause at my age and my financial situation, I couldn't afford to get it restored. (Wish I would have been patient and waited till I did have the money) I was young though and they we're still around and not 10 million dollars at that time. I saw Vanishing Point when I was about 7 years old and was and still is my favorite movie EVER! I swore I would get a Challenger one day when I grew up. (by the way.... been a MOPAR fan ever since I seen Vanishing Point :)) Well.... That day came 2 months ago. It had all the R/T Scatpack stickers all over it. I removed EVERY single sticker to start making my Vanishing Point car. Bought a crap load of emblems. Probably close to 500 dollars worth! The only thing missing is 1.... The actual 70 Challenger and 2...The Colorado plate OA5599. Well... I am only one state away from there though (Nebraska) but hey... I did the best I could with what I had. Anyways... Here it is and hope y'all like it. Thanks for looking. P.S. The Pics with the stripes is how it USED to look when I first bought it.

    Nice! Man that was a great movie! How many times has someone asked you what your decal means on the back window. Kids these days just dont know about the oldies! Welcome to the forum!

    Believe it or not, I just got it finished today and took it out to the body shop to see what it would cost to get the spoiler removed or painted white. There was an older customer in the when I walked in. he walked out, saw him looking at my car, came back in and said, I know what that Vanishing Point means. I was soo happy, cause my wife said no'one is going to know what that means. lol. Thanks for the compliment!!

    That is correct intimidatorRT, I wasn't sure if I wanted it on both sides or just the passenger. I decided both sides. That may change in the future though.

    Well At least you still won. You may have passed it on. Now I'm wondering since you noticed it if I should remove it too! lol

    I like it!! Any fan of Vanishing Point is a friend of mine.:High 5:

    Your car would be the first I approach at any car show or cruise-in. There are many of us out here still that really enjoy the original 1971 movie and what it represents to us. It's one of the reasons why I have an R/T today. I would have chosen white as my color of choice but I really like the Go Mango w/ black accents, plus I have a white Mustang. I really didn't want two whites in the garage.

    Welcome aboard. There are quite a few VP threads here on the forum plus one poster that has a very personal history with it.

    I'm honored that you would check mine out first. Thank you! And yes... I hate the fact that we even have to keep mentioning *original* movie when we talk about it. The remake was a joke.

    That's pretty cool you have a 2007 Mustang. I traded my 2008 Mustang in for my Chally. My friend has a T/A almost the same colors as yours. Nice colors for sure.

    I'll check out that other poster you mentioned when I get off work. At lunch right now.

    Take care,
    Christian
