Special Order does not exist.

Kern Dog is just getting warmed up folks......hehe.



Robert, not to keep the thread alive....did you ever explain why you cancelled this order? I know some on here don't care to believe that this could possibly happen, but I'd never put it past a salesman worth his salt, who would sell his granny to a Turk......so, having said that, why would you have cancelled such a beast? Gas crunch?

I wanted the car really bad. I was just married and just left the Navy. My new wife could not drive a standard and complained most of that evening. I gave in so not to put a car above my new wife. So i cancelled the charger and ordered a 73 Duster with the Twister package. To include an automatic. Trouble is, I got a divorce a year later.

The only plausible scenario I can see here is that the car would’ve been ordered with a 340, and the intake and carbs would’ve been aftermarket or NOS from a dealership stockpile. It would not have been a T/A motor, just a 340 with dealer installed intake and carbs.

You may be totally correct. When i posted this, i only posted what i was told as i tried to order the car. I was just 23 years old and listened to the sales person. The z as he said in the 5th digit for special order engines was true so i believed him. Was I wrong? Will never know since my order was cancelled.

Has anyone ever caught the '71 Fury on Phantom Works? There's another link posted in this link also.
