WOW!! What a find!! I wonder what color it originally was? Looks like some orange paint and yellow paint under the hood. Possibly was even painted plum crazy at one time.There looks to be some purple up towards the cowl area.

Doesn't look like the Hemi has ever been out. I would guess it was yellow originally.

WOW, hard to believe there are any stored somewhere and forgotten, what a find! Like winning the Powerball.

I think you're right about the hemi never being out.


Tomorrow is promised to no one.......drive your Charger today.

I thought I saw some purple paint up by the cowl area but after looking closer it may just be bare metal

Actually, on closer inspection, I see a lot of colours.

the build sheet condition/placement seen above is a dead ringer for the one in the car from dave's link.

someone has acquired an incredible wing car.

Yes, I recognize it (unless there's a twin to it) . It used to belong to a friend of mine ( RIP Ron )....... His son is a member here on Moparts. IIRC, it came out of Louisiana and my friend owned it for a VERY long time sitting in his garage in the DF/W area....

Yes, It went to Barrett Jackson Las Vegas 2012. Good Eye Wingin-It

i figured it might not be a brand new discovery, but didn't recall it being on ebay about a year and a half ago.

while the moparts poster may have wanted to build the suspense, i almost wonder if he even knows it's restored?

in an ironic twist, the B-J ad mentions the restoration shop as being Premier Body and Paint in Buffalo, MO. when you visit their website, the only superbird they show photos of is a v-code car. i wonder why they don't showcase their work on this car?

  Those guys are about 20 miles from me. A previous customer set up the website and I don't think they have even looked at it. The six pack car was sold at another auction by Mecum.

Why does the BJ car have 14 inch wheels? I thought all Hemi cars came with 15s standard. I was there at BJ in Vegas last year and saw that car. Pretty awesome.
