I love my turbo Mopars, and the '85 Dodge M4S "Wraith" car is still super cool to me. Mid-engine 2.2 DOHC Cosworth-head twin-turbo 4 cylinder spec'd at 440hp, with a claimed top end of 195. They made a few for the (admittedly cheesy) Charlie Sheen movie "The Wraith" and they were all runners...and AFAIK Sheen still owns one. Had it on Leno's Garage one episode. PPG also ran one as a pace car for Indycar racing:

2045 Plymouth Superbird EV Concept Is The Perfect Homage To A Legend | Carscoops

The Super Charger! Formerly known as the Topless Charger!

The Super Charger might have been part of the inspiration for my convertible 70 Charger R/T

Contrary to what MCG believes,I believe that the two known 70 Daytona Chargers and possibly a third one were built to be factory showcars,but were sold off because Nascar outlawed the wingcars,and the Federal government changed the bumper crash standards thus making wingcars illegal to sell after January 1st 1970. Note the Chrysler logo in the corner of the picture,the pictures taken a the Dodge styling studio at Hamtramck,and the Mighigan dealer plate that was issued to Chrysler Corp.

The purple 70 Daytona being built exactly the green car,plus the original owners story of picking up the car in Detroit,verses picking it up at the Maryland dealership it was sold through,makes sense,because the chances of a dealership over a thousand miles away from Detroit building at car exactly like the green car shown in the Hamtramck Dodge design studio photographs are slim to none. There was factory involvement in both cars and possibly a third one,no one was building Daytona clones in 1970 when there were still plenty of original Daytona Chargers were still sitting on dealer lots all over America. Note the temporary paper plate in Febuary of 1970. The purple car was a loaded car,I believe the car was built to showcase the available factory options that were available for Chargers in 1970. This car was sent to American Sunroof Corporation for the sunroof conversion outside of the documented 112 factory sunroof cars built in 1970. It would be considered number 113. The sunroof is not on the fender tag order number like the other 112 cars that had sunroof conversions done to them.

I am currently building a replica of the purple car. Back in 1985 when I saw the Purple 70 Daytona Charger R/T SE sunroof car on the cover of Muscle Car Review with the orange Superbird,I thought,that is the coolest Mopar I ever saw,soon my replica will be done and ready to drive!

There was a very accurate replica of that car at Carlisle about ten years ago. What's not to like,it was the first Charger!
