Reading this post makes me wana cry. Not knowing how rare of a car I had back in the early 80's I parted it out.
It was a 71 340 R/T Shaker 4 speed Plum Crazy car. I sold the paper work and tags to a very well known mopar fellow. The body was sold to a local kid at the time and he still has it. I kept some of the parts along with the engine. The shaker hood went to John Brown, a guy that went through a bunch of Hemi cars back in the day, and was put on a Black Hemi Challenger non shaker car.
Over the years I think I have done pretty well at keeping the rare cars and parts, but MAN did I screw up with that car.
I would bet somewhere out there, someone has a 71 Plum Crazy 340 R/T shaker car missing the REAL body numbers and engine. Oh, and to boot, this was a late built car with a blue painted engine.
