I was excited when I saw that listing recently. Back in the late 90s the owner Spetzman seemed to be doing a restoration of a high level car every year, and then showing it at many shows.  He brought that car from Minnesota to 2 or 3 Mopar shows in my area then.  I'd forgot about it until seeing the listing, so it brought back memories of when we had a couple shows in the Chicago area that were what you'd call national level shows.

@PlumCrazyRTSE  Thanks for posting the fender tag.

The TX9 and the FE5 have got to be the most difficult colors to get good pictures of tags from.   hard one to read.

Thanks for posting the tag pics. I don't remember ever seeing that A05 code before?? I didn't know what it was and had to look it up. A05 = Protection Group Package which includes: V5_ vinyl side moldings; bumper guards; and door edge protection moldings. I learned something new - cool!!

I generally prefer the Barracuda to the Challenger, but that IS one beautiful car - I would love to have that one in the garage...

Is it a #'s matching car does anyone know?  Just curious, and I didnt look very hard so sorry if its redundant

[JH27N0B]

The Mecum description states it's numbers matching.  Which means it is #'s match... or restamped. 
The biggest flaws I saw with the car when I saw it at Mecum last month were that it's a column shift auto, and that the restoration was looking a little tired.  Not a lot tired, it just wasn't "fresh" looking. I remember seeing it at some shows around 25 years ago right after it was restored, so I guess that is expected.
The car was one of a small group of high end cars at that auction being sold by the same collector, Julie Todhunter, there was also one of the red V code dealer demo Challenger convertibles and a hemi Coronet RT in the group.  And at least one GM, a Ram IV GTO convertible if memory serves.
