    No one knows for sure. I heard of a new one today actually, so 75 are known to have been made - so far.

    I will have to edit the door again;

    ...yes, it sure is

    ...the pix were taken about 15 years ago by Nicky Wright at the New Castle Airport

    ...last year at the MOPAR Nats...Preston, me and Jody.... 3 owners of the T/A thru  the years...the Plum T/A and the White T/A in the back are both still mine

    Hard to believe we have had the car for almost 10 years now.  It is Dads pride and joy.     We had a 1971 R/T Charger, ev2, n96 the whole nine yards  440 car and it wasnt dependable at all.  To be honest we got to really hate the car.  I advertised it for sale and the original owner bought the car back from us.  Dad said I want you to find me a car.  I dont care what it is but would prefer a Cuda or Challenger. 
    His main comment was " Find me something that when I go to a show or cruise it will be the only one there like it"

    Two weeks after selling the R/T Charger I told Dad I had found a car and we went that night to look at it and the rest is history.


    The thing is Larry can come and get it when ever he wants to.  I had to beg him one time to drive it to Indy for a car show one time.   Larry can post that picture.




    scored 116 out of 120 in the stock class



    Larry how old is the paint on that car now?

    ...paint is probably 20 years old at least....don't remember exactly what year I purchased the car, 1988-89 I'm guessing
