I think it is an awesome story… I hope that they do end up make a movie about the car. It would even be cool if they made a modern version with the 2023 Challenger Black Ghost.

The 2023 Challenger Black Ghost should have had the African flag below the Challenger badges. Dodge should have also incorporated the alligator skin into the seats to match the original top.

Great car and story! If that was a vert you could add another million to the price paid.

The car is 1 of 22 4 speed Hemi Challenger R/T Special Editions. And it has a Gator Grain Top.

The documentation for the car is in the top 1% of all Mopar's. As for the history of this car, I will listen to (1) Dodge Factory; (2) Hagerty; (3) Bob Ashton; (4) Dave Wise; and (5) the Qualls' family any day of the week over Uncle Tony's Garage.

Over the past 2 days, I have seen the absolute best and worst of the classic/muscle car community in its treatment of this car. As far as I'm concerned, it is a bad ass Hemi Challenger with a trailer hitch that has a pretty cool backstory...embellished or not.

Ryan, congrads on the purchase and this is definitely a great car as well as very very valuable. I can remember seeing a certain 1971 Hemi Challenger Convert for sale at a local meet for $35,000 US and thinking this guys need really good meds as that was crazy $$$ in mid to late '80s!!!!

The car is legit an all ways as being OG paint and triple black, Gator top Hemi 4sp.

That would be way overpriced in the 1980's since Dodge never made a 1971 426 Hemi Challenger R/T convertible. It was only produced in 1970. The largest engine you could get in 1971 was a 383 in a non-R/T convertible. For 1971, Dodge killed off the R/T convertible option.

In one of the garage photos it shows the car with a wire wheel cover and now the car has dog dishes. Which wheel covers did it come from the factory with?

In the last photo of the right side @ MCACN, you can see signs of previously installed full wheel covers of some style by the scratches on the outer most lip of the rims. Bill
