This was a family project but mostly my dad (driving on the Lowe's track picture), e made this a "driver" car, ot a trailer trophy. Car has been on Power Tour, o dozens of shows, e have over a dozen trophies won. We have the original Registration, build sheet mostly in tact. The original owner made this 340 column automatic a drag car, ustom painted with red white blue and Captain America theme. Blew 2 340's before Chrysler wouldn't warranty them anymore. Car sat 26 years and dad found it. She (he) is a beauty, nd a head turner wherever we drive her.Nice throaty exhaust sound out the duals, he hemi is stock and moves her just fine! Under hood autographed by Chip Foose and Herb McCandlass (Sox and Martin)-also Chip autographed right side sun visor. This is a pristine 1971 Custom One-of-a-Kind. To see her is to drool (nearby please, ot on the car!). Other pictures can be sent, ontact me via email. I'm posting this for my mom, he holds the clear title and is ready to part with her to a good home and a great Mopar Man.
