    if you are referring to the pic, it was a 440 six barrel W/3.55 gear auto on the column W/bench seat No rallye cluster, the rest can be seen. if you notice it has a "M" in the license plate meaning new dealer. the car was not ordered but sent to us from chrysler because the owner of the dealership did not want one. So if you did not want one you got what ever chrysler sent you. That also was the same deal with the AAR cuda and the T/A challenger. that is why they had weird option combinations.

    The Super Bird won by what looks like a half mile lead or more! Now you can see why NSCAR wouldn't let them run after the first year of them being in NASCAR because no one could stay with them! It's amazing to me that a car designed 55 years ago can still stay ahead of the pack with the new technology of 2025! Personally I Love it !

    totally agree, as for ice engines the only way to beat a hemi is with a hemi on the race tracks, and thats why NHRA has a special class just for the hemi cars called the hemi challenge or hemi shootout . the new nascars are a whole lot safer today than the yesterday cars.
