However they appear to have edited in shots from another road test... Thats no Challenger Dash/Wheel
It looks like an R/T, what's with the flat hood????
Maybe it's a pre-production model, and Sport hoods without lettering were not ready?

71 R/T should have quarter scoops so not an R/T... Some kind of press pre-production car.. Flat hood but tips out the back.... Definitely runs good for a 383, sounds good too... But the sound is probably edited in too, though it does match the shifts better than any Starsky & Hutch TV show I ever saw...
Video said the 383 in it was hardly heavier vs a 340? Is that true?
Basically, the video said the front of the car was made to handle a big block.

I love Bud's narration. The whole series is so entertaining. Especially the swinging soundtracks. :banana:
" car pushed through the corners at 50 mph" haha there's an understatement! :yes:
I love Bud's stuff. The 69 GTX one is great and so is the Hemi 500 one. It's really nice to see the video of these guys running these things at the max.
