This very 'Cuda was featured in Hagerty Magazine as a cover car for a muscle car write-up by famed car collector Ken Lingenfelter and a copy of the magazine is included. Also included is numerous pieces of documentation such as: the original trader ad when the car was bought in '79, the original broadcast sheet, the original Carter carburetors, a written list of the RPO options, the original owner's manual and supplemental literature, a calendar of the Hagerty photo shoot, and a picture binder documenting the 35 year ownership history with the previous owner. This is truly a unique opportunity to own a highly optioned, low mileage, real R-Code Hemi 'Cuda with a long single ownership history!
