This was the last of 4 original cars Chrysler had touring across the US in 1970-71 to promote the Rapid Transit System. 

Just over 900 original miles. Going to MECUM

 Hmmm... might be worth it if I can get a few more "Mopar Carls" in before the ban takes place?  biggrin

Maybe "Chrysler Carl" sounds better... I'll give it some more thought... wink

You can never have too much fun giving Carl the gears!  wink

Seriously, I like 'em all as well.

If you are so inclined, this is one of my favourite Mopar books of all time. It gives an account of how the Chrysler factory Ramchargers drag race team formed and tells numerous stories of their escapades with a lot of insight into the inner workings of their engineering department back in the 1960s.  A really interesting read.

I just noticed that it has been discontinued but they still have limited copies available:

At least this is 3 pedals Carl, or do you now prefer pushbutton?
