July 2018 Cover car for Muscle Car Review – extensive photos and details are listed in this magazine which featured cars from the early 70’s and how they are becoming extremely collectable now. There is a 4-page spread on the car with color photos and numerous other details describing the rarity and quality of this incredible Charger.

Could an actor or actress have used it during its time at Universal Studios? Was it used in the background of a movie? or maybe a TV series? That part is unknown, and the new owner can spend time uncovering the mystery.

Included with the sale is a 2” thick binder with over a hundred receipts. Also included with this car is the original paperwork from the dealer (dealer order) as well as 3 superb build sheets and a binder full of original paperwork. Original owner was contacted to confirm the provenance of the car. Everything works with the exception of the cruise control.

This car is currently in storage and only driven occasionally. It is absolutely gorgeous. The amazing condition, the exceptional original documentation, the incredible amount of money and time spent restoring this car as well as its rarity and Hollywood connection, make this without a doubt, a one-off car for the Serious Mopar collector.
