...and engine, and....

Would be interesting (or not maybe) to see the rockers with the sidepipes on an E-body with the sidepipes functional.
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

That's snazzy, but I've got to say, the sound of a Viper engine doesn't quite do it for me. Sure its one of the baddest late model offerings, and that surely driven people to install them in earlier cars, but for the cost and effort of adapting one, I'd just as soon go with an EFI, aluminum, big block V8.

Just my age bias showing, I imagine.
