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.
Try to learn life's bad lessons vicariously through others.

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.gnalan wrote: 11 Jul 2022, 16:12It was built to stay competitive in NASCAR. Here's a side view.

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.matthew1 wrote: 11 Jul 2022, 16:49 Did they have to build x number for sale to the public?

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.
