Default RE: '74 Challenger, one-of-a-kind 4 sale

You follow just fine. This was a race car campaigned in the 80's, and has fibreglass fenders, doors, quarter panels, hood and deck-lid. There is no radio antennae or hole for one. The tubs and trunk floor is lightweight aluminum. The roof and pillars are metal. For structural stability, it has a 6-point cage and sub-frame connectors. My bud says it's like "driving a surf-board" because of how stiff the body is...there is minimal body flex. with full fluids, the car weighs in at just over 3,200Lbs, and puts out mid-500 HP at the flywheel. The fan was swapped for a 4-blade to reduce HP loss, there is an electric fan with a dash-mounted toggle. The power steering pump was pulled, also to reduce power loss at the wheels, but the car retained power disc brakes...just makes sense
