I would drive that!

Very nice! Oh, and...

Original Holley? Where's the Thermoquad?

In case the link goes away...

You can tell how motivated the seller is by the way they detailed the interior.

It wasn't so much that the SE wasn't well accepted, it was more likely the fact that after adding a few options, most people figured they may as well get the Cordoba so they could say they drove a Chrysler instead.

Sadly, the Car Craft article seemed more interested in spending time describing the Sparkomatic CB Radio than talking about how the car performed after the mods. By the way, I've liked those cars since brand new and would be happy to have one!

Well, none. But to put it in perspective, in a thirty year career over 829 races in Nascar, Kyle won only eight times no matter what brand of car he was driving.

Maybe Richard didn't like the car, but when he gave it to his son, Kyle used the Magnum to win his very first race - the 1979 Daytona ARCA 200.

It wouldn't have made sense to keep these around if nobody wanted them at the time. In the last year (1981) Chrysler sold 5,431 New Yorkers. Even combining all the New Yorkers, Newports, Dodge St. Regis and Plymouth Gran Fury sales, fewer than 40,000 were built that year and the production...

Dana 60 in a smogger automatic? I would have thought that the 9.25 was the big rear end by 1978.

Well it's already sold, but $17,000 doesn't seem too bad for a supercharged 10 second car.

I saw twelve of these in a row, brand new on a car lot in 1979. Here in Canada, of course. They did have dual exhaust, but I don't recall seeing converters.

Maybe he didn't install a 440 like this one has. :)

From what I recall, those clear covers were polycarbonate, the same tough plastic used in safety glasses. If you polish them you'll probably remove the hard coating but you can replace it with something like this: https://www.cerakote.com/shop/cerakote-coating/AH-CHLKIT00/cerakote-headlight-kit

I crawled all over a bunch of those 440 police cars in 1978 when an auto rack full of them came into the shop on the railroad. I remember the dual exhaust which I thought was unusual at the time. The air cleaner lids were flipped upside down.

He mentioned R bodies (1981), which were based on the B body. Your '86 is a totally different car.

Yes, it was a Canadian car. However as I said, it was the vehicle emissions that were mandated, not the method that reached the target. For example, Ford didn't put cats on all it's 1975 cars, a move that kept prices down but also meant lower gas mileage because of the way the engines had to...

1975 cars weren't mandated to have cats, rather they were mandated to meet a certain level of exhaust emissions. Fitting a converter was the easier fix but some manufacturers found certain engine/car combos that would work without the expense of this device. My dad bought a 1975 Chev Malibu...
