    With these things it is always best to measure it before buying or making one; I know this from actual experience in having to pay the shop to shorten one so it would have enough clearance for rear end movement.

    Bought new in '71; I wanted the Challenger but they were $2850; too much $ so I got the 318, 3 speed on the floor, Twister Duster for $2100.
