If you find any that do not match your car I would love to know. The 1970 Hamtramck Registry has 1,540 AARs recorded so far. The next AAR & T/A Reunion is set for the Chryslers at Carlisle show in 2015 also.

I was wondering why it sounds like a pair of old glass packs. Is it the mufflers they appear to look stock but im not sure what brand. Im not a fan of that sound just wondering.

Barry, do T/A's and AAR's get a special leaf spring to raise the rear body? It would seem that on Cudas the low riding exhaust would be a flattened casualty in a pair of seconds. Most likely a stupid question, but what's new?
