On "My Car Story" we're at the Carlisle Events in Carlisle PA on 7-9-20.
We're looking at a 1973 Dodge Challenger Rally in Petty Blue Paint. The car comes with the factory 318 CI engine.
The car's Owner is Doug White. Doug’s the Original Owner and purchased it new. He shares he was a Fan of Richard Petty, and his Dad worked at a Dodge Dealer. His Dad called him up from the Dealer, and told him he thinks he has the car for him. He told his Dad he would never sell the car. Doug’s a man of his word, and here the car is today.

Original owner? That's special _!_
Hi 20alphabet, You're right :-) Thank you for viewing, Lou
Great story and car. you dont find original owners of old cars much anymore.
HI AC DC, You're right :-) Happy to read you enjoy this episode, Lou
The one owner story is always great always loved the super blue my dad bought a brand new charger se 440 with sunroof that color I used to steal it out of the garage when I was a kid and race the hell out of it returned it everytime without a scratch finally got caught and got my ass beat it was worth it.
Hi derwood 454, One Onwer stories are good ones, I agree. Glad to read this one brings memories of your Dad's car :-) Other then that paddling :-( Glad it was worth it :-) Lou
Sharp "Petty blue" paint, sporty wheels, and the faux vent treatment on fenders really stand out on this Challenger. I like it a lot. A 318ci will last forever and better yet, keep Mr. Ownsr out of trouble. Thanks guys.
Hi Bruce H., Happy to read the details you enjoy on this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
So Kool! I see it has the “Made in USA” export tag! Interesting thing I learned recently about “Petty Blue”. It first appeared on a small run of ‘68 Road Runners. It had a 999 paint code, and was called “Corporate Blue”. Plymouth was contemplating releasing a Richard Petty edition. It didn’t happen. 😀
Hi drippinglass, Glad to read you enjoy this "Kool" car and thank you for sharing your knowledge, Lou
Interesting... thanks... those ASPEN/VolAre “Machine “ Stock Car Factory, etc.of 1976 (?), and associated runs came close (.)... , just found albout about those productions ...not RT,ETC.
Ps, interestingly I ordered a 1968 RR, IN GREEN EXT./DELUXE Black INT/4 spd(came with Hurst, not INLAND SHIFTER, we checked)/383/....anyhow,I lost my $200/ DEP AND DECIDED not to buy ( I was in Pharmacy School)....probably would have finished if I had see. A PERRY BLUE ( unless Hemi was Required, to expensive/ gas eater)
Whatta nice car, and great one owner story. An average Joe like me can relate to a car like this...
Hi Robert, Happy to read you enjoy this episode :-) Lou
Doug's car and story are exquisite! I seriously do not think I've ever seen a car in Petty Blue that looked better than this one does! Thank you Lou!
HI Brian SD, High praise for this Petty Blue Champion :-) My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou
The paint job is so beautiful it looks like high gloss plastic or an M&M🤗🤗
Hi Andy, Happy to read you enjoy the paint on this car :-) Lou
Another great original owner and car! The color is amazing, as well. Kudos to Doug on his retirement and keeping his Challenger after all these years, too. Thanks, Lou!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Happy to read you enjoy this episode, and color too :-) My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Beautiful blue and the 318 is a dependable motor.
Hi Randy, Happy to read you enjoy the blue on this car, and the dependable motor too, Lou
I really like it when you film cars still owned by the original owner and hearing there stories.
Hi William, When I can find them, you'll see them :-) Lou
Not very many people still have a car they bought new . It's nice to see such a special car still in the original owners care. The color is beautiful and that 318 3spd was a great combo which probably kept the insurance lower.
Hi Chris, You're right. Fun to meet someone who has kept there car since new :-) Lou
This video for me is a real through back to 1974 when at 20 years old I ordered a new Dodge Challenger 360 Rallye, I believe in late January of 74'. The dealer said it might not be built because the Challenger is being discontinued, but the order went through as a EW1 White Rallye, pistol grip 4 speed, manual steering, am/fm radio, with no A/C. I was ecstatic when the Challenger arrived the last week in April...it arrived minus the 360 engine logo on the power bulge hood, minus the rallye wheels and the 5 speaker stereo I ordered...but it did have a 2 speaker stereo. I complained to the dealer staff and there response was your lucky it was built at all...but the dealer did give me the Rallye Wheels from another new vehicle..
Kudo's to Doug for keeping his Challenger all these years in pristine shape.

Great to see such a proud owner. Today $9 is just a cup of coffee but back then $9/month could be a deal breaker.
Thanks, Lou
Hi BartRicky, You're right about that $9. Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
A great example of how many of us can get excited over a car without needing to see huge horsepower under the hood. Wonderful how it's not dressed up with add ons that today would do nothing to add to its appeal. Just as it was, back when it was delivered. Nice owner too!
You're right, this is a car you can get excited over for sure :-)
Original owner, always a plus. I like the 72 redesign, gives the challenger more character. Beautiful Dodge. Hat's off Lou
Hi FUBAR Model Yard, Agreed that it's interesting when you have an Original Owner which adds to the story. Happy to read you think this car is "beautiful" :-) Lou
I love the color. A 318 V8 with a 3-speed stick is not very common. Thanks, Lou!
Hi Brian, Happy to read you enjoy this color :-) You're right, a 318 & S-speed, not very common. You're welcome, Lou
I love every single car you show! Greetings from Spain
Hi Elirocket 96, Happy to read you're enjoying the episodes with me :-) Thank you, Lou
Hi, Lou! I must say this is quite an amazing car to be an original owner of for this long! That's no Petty feat, and I hope Mr. Petty sees this, because I can't think of a better way to pay tribute to one of America's greatest auto racing legends. Rally around the Challenger! Thank you very kindly, Lou and Doug!
Hi iswc27, Agreed, to have a car this long is quite the rare find. My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou
That's right on. It's a time capsule. When I was a kid I listened to my father, uncles, grandads talk about how they all wished to have never got rid of their 1st cars, so when I got my new 91 Z28 when I was 20, I kept it to this day. I don't regret it, I'm 50 now and I feel 20 everytime I drive it.
Hi judgegixxer, Happy to read you enjoy this one :-) I agree, I think cars keep us young, Lou
Really nice looking Challenger, 3 speed on the floor you don't see that often, 318 sounded good once it was going, just guessing i would say carb needs a good teardown cleaning and O/H kit by the way he was pumping the gas pedal. Thanks Lou for showing this Petty Blue.
Hi Newton, Glad to read you enjoy the looks & sounds of this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
Cars like this and it competitors were the ones that made me admire the US auto industry.

@@loucostabileThank you, sir!
Another great video Lou love watching your channel. Nice to see a Challenger rallye in the same color as my Duster. My favorite mopar color. You dont see many of those with the 3 speed manual transmission in them. My cousin has a white Rallye Challenger but it's a 340 4 speed car
Hi PlymouthDuster 225, Glad to read you enjoy the color of this one, which is like yours :-) Lou
very cool and great story ! love the simplicity of the 3 sp 318 and still 124 mph ! thanks for sharing
Hi rixkafer56, Happy to read you enjoy this story :-) My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Had a few cars I wish I’d never gotten rid of. Still kicking my butt.
Hi JJ P., I think we can all agree with you :-) Lou
Original owner since 1973? You don't see that too often!
Sweet car!
GREAT VIDEO LOU.
Hi TCT9MM, You're right, original Owner since 1973 creates an really nice story :-) Thank you for the kind words on this video, Lou
Legendary colour!

Hi Jeff, Happy to read you enjoy this episode :-) Lou

HI Steve, Fun when you find an original Owner and hear the story :-) Glad to read you enjoy the looks of this car. My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Another fine “Lou Blue” automobile
You're right :-)
incredible car! Thanks for sharing
Hi Cas par, High praise :-) My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Great story! I wonder if the dislikes will be from the former owners who regret selling their "first car". I don't regret getting rid mine.
Hi Donald, Happy to read you enjoy this episode. Not sure why a dislike, however you might be right :-) Lou
Beautiful challenger , rare 3 speed too. Needs dual exhaust for sure. Love the petty blue
Hi Mike J, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
OMG, I can't remember my monthly payments on my first new car in '73!
I think you're normal on that issue :-)
Goodday Lou,
What a great story you seem to find them. Original owners, there is a great idea for a new forum for a TH-cam Channel.
Nice paint, nothing fancy but gorgeous great find.
Your number 1 Fan in Australia
Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤
Goodday Louis, Happy to read your idea, and I'm not sure I find that many, however I do find a few, and original Owners sure make a good story on how they were able to keep there car as long as they have. Glad to read you enjoy this story :-) Thank you for being my # 1 Fan in Australia, Lou
Great story. I’ve never seen a challenger rally before
Hi Curtis, Happy to share this one with you :-) Glad to read you enjoy this story, Lou
So nice Lou! I wish I had my 1970 Plymouth Duster with the 340 and 3 speed on the floor again! I love the Petty blue and the body style of the challenger.
Hi Dale, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Duster :-) Glad to read you enjoy the blue too, Lou
Actually the B3 code is not Petty blue, its called Basin street blue. Its been called Petty blue for ever but it is not the same color on Petty’s cars! Richard Petty’s color is actually a secret custom mix.
Hi theoriginalmungaman, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge. Hope you see many more cars on this TH-cam Channel you enjoy. Lou
Beautiful car and fabulous story!
Hi Bill, Happy to read you enjoy this episode :-) Lou

That's an awesome 73 challenger Lou. Love the Petty blue. Did he say if this was a 4bbl 318? Understandable about the payments,, 9 $ a month was alot back then. But the 318 was a motor ya could massage into something a little bit meaner.
Hi Mark J, Happy to read you enjoy this car and consider it "awesome" :-) Lou
Absolutely Blueteful!
Hi X K, Happy to share this one with you :-) Lou
That guy had one cool dad.
Agreed.
I had a 1974 Challenger Rallye with a 318 automatic in a gold colour. My car's top speed was 112 mph. The car cost $4,680.00 CAD including taxes. My loan was for $3,000.00 after my trade-in, and my payment was $108.00 month for 3 years. I wanted a 360 cu. in., but my dad refused to co-sign for that car as he said I would kill myself in a 360!😕
I sold the car in 1976 for $4,000.00 CAD. I regret it now.

Had a '73 it was yellow with the black stripping. It had the 340 four barrel and being young and dumb I drove it straight to the ground. If I had only known then what I know now.

Is it possible for a 19 year old like me to ever get one of these bad boys. Eventually?
Yes!
So what makes this car a "Rally"? Is it a trim level? Sorry if I missed that.
The Rallye dash maybe? Just guessing.
Hi Anthony C, I think it's just the way Dodge named it, Lou
