That is a pretty cool story. Thanks for sharing.

Very touching story, hit closed to home as I'm from MA.
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.

What a neat story! Jay Leno is one classy guy!

Heh, "don't talk about mileage, that's a sore topic"

With 1000HP, I'm sure it is.

Very cool.  Its interesting that he actually ordered a 75 Duster body directly from Chriylser to build it originally.  No messing with a dirty old car for this guy!  Also cool since he didn't have to 'cut up' an oriiginal car to build, you could say it was built to be what it is today.
