The Extras

While we take power steering and power brakes for granted these days, people didn't in 1971. Thankfully, this unit has those extras, making it a viable option to take on a long trip today.

Beautiful Hood

One of this car's best features is its Ramcharger hood with hold-down pins. This gives it all the attitude and road presence of a true muscle car.

Interior

The inside of this car is just as striking as the outside. Its blue vinyl bucket seats and Hurst pistol-grip shifter fill this car with tons of character.

Wheels

This model's painted steel wheels with chrome hubcaps are easily another one of its stand out features. These rims are wrapped in Goodyear G60-15 Polyglas GT tires. And you can find this beauty at Mecum's Dallas auction September.
