That's the "mule" for testing/mock up wearing the "squid tube" wing supports that were initially intended for race use,.....until Chrysler learned they had to "homogenize" the race cars into production cars

Not only are the #71's prototype fender "exhausters" shaped like a NACA duct, the highest part isn't anywhere close to being located over the center of the wheel/axle.

Tire clearance indeed...

Regardless of "what" some claim, I've always held the belief that the fender scoops were to relieve underhood air pressue and heat on the race cars, as they have no inner side fenderwells,....the street version, was just a homogenization of the race stuff to apease NASCAR rules

You're preachin' to the choir with me, Mike.  While I understand the rationale behind the tire clearance explanation at the time (throw everyone off the trail of the 'real' purpose), you'd think the unofficial statute of limitations with NASCAR has expired - thereby relieving the back-in-the-day engineers of the need to toe the corporate P.R. line.  Oh well.
