That's ok, Neal, about 1975 a friend of mine who drove a gunmetal grey
71 Challenger R/T took me over to a trailer park near Tinker AFB in
Midwest City, Ok where he heard a 71 Hemi plum crazy B body four speed
was for sale. We found the car and the guy wanted $3000. He started it
up for me and the engine ran fine but smoked. I passed on the car. DUH
!   Back to the early Mopars. Anyone have some additional pictures of
a 63 Plymouth cop car that's not on the website ?
