Those cars are bad as hell and man does that bitch sound mean when its camming. You know it must have been a work out driving that fast with that steering and brake technology. Thx for posting

I've had the joy, and pain of being in and around this car it really puts into perspective the talent and balls it took to drive them

I remember being at the Dodge dealership my Dad worked at when Buddy did this. There were sales type brochures in the showroom hyping the accomplishment.....

Oh, and yeah.....I've been 145mph in one of these cars myself....They're some seriously bad ass cars....

Love those cars. I would greatly enjoy owning an old Mopar.

My buddy's Dad owns this car and is currently and painstakingly restoring it.

FWIW, the vehicle in the museum has been recognized as being a copy.
