Dave,  Mark Sekula of Blue Star Performance owns the car.    His email is bluestarsales at bluestarperformance.com    I am sure he would enjoy hearing from Randy.    Thanks for tracking him down.   I'll post a photo of it as soon as I can resize it out of the camera.   They did a nice job on it.

now im curious just how many of the 16,487 posts contain just the emoticons.

we could start an office pool. closest guess wins a months supply of popcorn.

It started off as a 6 pack car .I have its as found pictures .After it got sold I dont know if a clone was built from that actual car/parts .Or the superbird got AC added on .You need AC in Houston TX

Something still isn't right about this picture.... So we know that NO Hemi or 6-pack cars came with factory A/C (Superbirds, Chargers, Road Runners, etc).  And I've always read that NO Superbirds came with factory A/C.... but I swear I  see a factory A/C firewall.  Are my eyes playing tricks on me or do I see the blower motor coming through the firewall?  I also see evaporator lines coming through the firewall.  Is this even a real Superbird or an early clone?

The only other thing I could think of is may this real Superbird got in a bad accident in the front and someone front-halfed the car with a factory A/C shell.
