As above. In circa 1978,  this car was imported to Blighty and was probably already yellow, but I believe it was originally Plum Crazy. It was originally a 4 speed car, but had been converted to an Auto.
In circa 1978, it was featured in Hot Car magazine. It was subsequently re painted Plum Crazy and was sold back to the USA in 2005.

Is it on here ?

This is how it looked in 2005. It was also Red for a while, before the P Crazy re paint.

Keith ran a 12.08 in it. This was the first car in Britain to run on Nitrous!

Anyone recognize this one ?

Hard to tell ... of all of the Hemi Challengers that I have seen ... probably more of them are Plum Crazy than any other color ... there's at least a dozen or more in that same color configuration.
Cheers!
