July 2018 Cover car for Muscle Car Review -extensive
photos and details are listed in this magazine which featured cars from the
early 70’s and how they are becoming extremely collectable now. There is a 4-page
spread on the car with color photos and numerous other details describing the
rarity and quality of this incredible Charger. Tons of options and even coded as Y95 show car finish and Y 86 new car service but the ultra rare code is that it is coded as a Y28 public relations car. Could an actor or actress have used it during its time at Universal Studios? Was it used in the background of a movie?or maybe a TV series? That part is unknown, and the new owner can spend time uncovering the mystery.Included with the sale is a 2†thick binder
with over a hundred receipts. Also included with this car is the original
paperwork from the dealer (dealer order) as well as 3 superb build sheets and a
binder full of original paperwork. Dyno sheets from Koffel's place in Ohio are also included. This car was decoded by Galen Govier and that paperwork is included. The Build sheet, fender tag, title, door tag, dash vin tag and engine block numbers all match. The original owner was also contacted to confirm the
provenance of the car. Everything works with the exception of the cruise
control.
This car is currently in
storage and only driven occasionally. It is absolutely gorgeous. The amazing condition, the exceptional original
documentation, the incredible amount of money and time spent restoring this car
as well as its rarity and Hollywood connection, make this without a doubt, a one-off
car for the Serious Mopar collector. Rare 1974 Dodge Charger Rallye Began Life Working for Universal Studios (hotrod.com)https://youtu.be/u2thF-GQB14
