Well conventional wisdom was wrong and here is a real example. There is still debate as to whom ordered them, why they were built and finally how they were built. These mysteries are what makes this story quite intriguing.

Great story Steve and pictures. 426 wedge and 4 speed. Like the body style of the earlier Coronets.

Copy of build sheet from my old car.
Car pics are from my time with it. 1985- 1993
It was at MCACN this year
Hard core Mopar folks should find this comparison interesting.
Box 691 is puzzling to say the least

Note tire code is same. Always thought the blue streaks were Hemi omly.

Never say never when it comes to Mopars!

And this year you will see TWO of them side by side at the MCACN show, as the owner uncovered yet another.

That's awesome.

Shout out to Johnny Hunkins who wrote the article, great guy.
