Very cool. 383? 440? Is that a Hurst badge I spy?

512 now with a 5 speed and 4.10 gear. I made the car my way.

Didn't Dodge call those "High Impact" colors?

I think one was called "Statutory Grape"

That’s a great looking Coronet! Love seeing these old Mopars still out cruising.

They certainly had a lot of good color choices.

Is that AI or a real car Travis? Ford had the "Grabber" colors so crazy colors in 1970 was an awesome thing as the musclecar era came to a close.

I’m pretty sure it’s a real car that was just done up to look like the 1971 ad. Unless it’s the actual car from the ad, but I doubt that. But who knows, maybe it is AI, we’re living in a simulation at this point.

It is a real car after all. It’s in the Wellborn Musclecar Museum in Alabama. Only half of it is painted with the color codes, the other half in its original Ivy Green metallic, which is my favorite Mopar color.

440 or a Hemi car? I don't think you could get the shaker with the 383.

The shaker hood wasn’t original to this car. I like how they did half of a wheelie bar and roll bar and left the other side stock.

Love it!!!!

When I was in HS it was mostly Chevy/Ford/Pontiac. There was a single 440 car and maybe a stray 383 Satellite. For some reason the Mopar stuff was just more rare and I think that carried on. Always loved the sound of the gear reduction starters though.

I grew up on the west coast and it was the same. Most guys had GM or Ford products, only a few weirdos drove Mopars.
Now I'm in the prairies and there's a ton of Mopar guys out here.
They're still weird but a fun kind of weird.

I wouldn't complain about having a Challenger.

Was it production numbers? We didn't have many either.

I'm up for any B or E body car. A Super Bee with a 383 four speed would be just fine.
