Looks like a replica or one of the drag cars, not the original concept  :Twocents:

The easiest way to tell its not the real concept is the fact that the side of that fiberglass car doesn't have "doors". If you look in the pictures of the real car when the roof is open, you notice that it opens low to allow people to climb inside. (Pictures 1 & 2 attached)

In the same breath though it's not a drag car body since you can see that behind the front wheel is not "open" like the drag car pictured. (Pictures 3 & 4 attached)

Yet the drag car pictured doesn't have "doors" since you climb into the car when the body is raised. My guess is that the car is a kit or just an at home reproduction someone was making whether to race or for showing I have no clue.

HOWEVER, if you look really close on the Jalopyjournal thread pics you can see that seams have been filled in that outline the concept "canopy" and it looks like part of the canopy has been cut away...   :scope:
1973 Charger : 440cid - 727 - 8.75/3.55


Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
      a liberal, oh fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
      acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!
