Most books refer to the 64's as the original 2% cars.

Fast forward to 1974 when these two pics were taken at Santa Pod, by Hasse Biörck from Sweden.
On the far left is a car namned "The Bounty Hunter", then you can see a small part of the former Heavy Challenger now named "London Heavy", then the "Brooklyn Heavy" Duster, and on the right a "Rod Shop" Cuda.

Cool to see the Rod Shop Cuda with English license plates. At that time anything that could propel itself on the street could be registered in the UK. Only requirements was lights and brakes.
