    It will be VERY hard to find and I delt it would be dug up.
    How can you tell it's "Marvelous" without color?? All I can see are outlines, color makes the paint.

    Here is Bill's Challenger at the Chrysler Car Club Convention in St Louis in 1982.  These first two pictures show the color the best, the others that I will post will not be as accurate for the color.  The picture prints are over 23 years old and have bleached out a bit...

    You never know what you can find via the Internet... And yes, I was at the 1982 meet in St Louis... I am that old...   ;D

    BTW, the Chrysler Car Club Convention was the predecessor to the Mopar Nationals...  The artwork from the 1982 meet was even one of the collection on the back of this year's MN shirt.

    I am amazed someone had pics of that car!  And the quality and quantity also!

    Thats like finding a needle in a haystack.

    Thanks, glad that y'all liked the pictures... I have a lot of pictures from the early days of the Mopar collecting hobby (1975 to 1990), including some from a few of the early national meets.  The 1982 CCCC meet was the first national show I attended, and I took over 400 pictures.  The problem is that my "archives" are not very well organized, so the real miracle was being able to find them on short notice...

    Thanks 360cuda for your compliment on my collection...
