Nope, but the year is correct.

Was it the attempt to bring back the Road Runner?

It was built to stay competitive in NASCAR. Here's a side view.

And yes, the apartment building it's parked at is a period-correct 1960s building. Perfect pairing, though the car I'm not saying is necessarily 1960s. The car is lowered a great deal. I'd feel like $10M bucks if I was cruising in this.

Going back to this - '57 Bel Air ?

Did they have to build x number for sale to the public? I know this was the case late 60s and early 70s, like the Road Runner with the nose and big wing. And with some rally cars in the 80s/90s.

I don't think so. 1978 they produced 47,827, and 1979 they produced 25,367, for a total of 73,194. I've never seen one in person, but I would love to own one.

Wait, you're saying they made that many of these?

Post by **gnalan** » 11 Jul 2022, 17:21

Yep.

The first one I ever saw was in Hot Rod Magazine when I was a kid, and I've wanted one ever since. If I remember right, it had a built 440 in it with nitrous. Black. Tubbed. Caged. Badass.

If I was a better P.I. (hint hint) I'd track one down.

P.I.? Hold on hold on. We ain't talking about red 308s here now...
