That's my old car that I found in 1984 in Miami and restored over the next year. I then debuted it at the 1985 Mopar Nationals where it won Best E-Body and was photographed for a bunch of magazines.
He has the original owner story kind of mixed up. It was actually rumored to have been owned by a Miami drug dealer who sold the car, then stole it back a week later and drove it into the ocean off Miami beach during a police chase. The G-Man refers to an owner subsequent to him. ;-) I called him and corrected him on it and offered him the original photo album I have of the car. Seems like a nice guy. He has two 1971 Hemicuda ragtops as well. Last edited by njsteve; 03-12-2023 at 12:06 AM.

Funny thing about the photos. My son is now the same age I was in that photo back in 1984. Only he does not have my mustache gene despite his constant attempts at growing one.
