Yep. Only 28 440 Magnum Auto 1970 Cuda convertibles made. The 4 speed is even rarer: only 6.

What a beautiful color: Gulfstream Aqua

Just got back from "Old Car Festival" at Greenfield Village.

There were more pretty little Model A's and Model T Fords there than you could shake a stick at.

You know the old saying: "When you seen one Model T Ford, you've seen 15 million of 'em".

It's not a rendering. It's a real Corvette.

So what color was the General Lee? If you're thinking Hemi Orange - nope. It didn't have enough Orange in the mix so when filmed it looked more Brown than Orange. How about 1975 Corvette Flame Red? Nope. The truth of the matter is - the color wasn't a factory color at all. It was something called TNT Express which was used by a shipping company on their delivery vehicles.

Not only is it a rare color combo, it's also an A66 340 Challenger.

For $258.90 over the base V8 Challenger price ($2953) you got the 340 Magnum engine with Performance Hood, Hood Pins, 15" Rallye Wheels with E60x15 RWL tires and your choice of stripes: Bumble Bee, Longitude or no stripes.

There was no 340 Challenger R/T like there was a 340 Cuda for 1970.

#36277 Fremont Assy line photo , Looks like a Cutlass followed by a Skylark body drop and followed by a Pontiac engined Tempest frame next in line !!

Is that really the same car? The body line on the fender back to the door looks completely different. Much deeper on the restored car. Look at the rear door edge. Looks like they took a sedan and shortened it to make a 2 seat coupe. Nice work though.

----It must be the pictures but this Firebird really doesn't look like Verdero green. More like a bronze. I think I remember the color but don't have the name in my brain at the moment.....Bill S

I thought that as well, but attributed it to my monitor or the sunlight during the photo shoot.
