I have been working on this a long while now. It's a real R/T but a basket case, that was missing it's orig color and drivetrain. B7, Blk vinyl top, butt stripe B5 interior, automatic. It's been lovingly repainted & reassembled.  Some how in the process it got restified, rather than boring restored, getting many of the same tricks my AAR Cuda hides under it's sheetmetal. It looked like this when I started:
