The name FIAARMN can from the Uncle who passed and it was his brother that bought it new as the Original Owner.  When his brother passed, the car was given to him. Now he has passed, and it is passed down. He was a Fireman so it was only fitting to give it the tag name FIAARMN.

Car is pictured below and currently has the center carburetor off. As far as I know it is all matching numbers, been in the family since new and I am actively researching it. I discovered it has a Rally Instrument Cluster, White interior and appears to be Limelight Green.

Plans are to get her running and then go from there. It ran a few years ago, to my knowledge.

Really looking forward to researching the fender tag and so forth and really learning all I can about the AAR.

Welcome to the site! Beautiful car! If you post a picture of the fender tag I'm sure others on here can tell you much more about it!  It must have been " restored" at some point in it's life. Do you have the air cleaner assembly? They can be expensive to track down a replacement. When did it run last?

Welcome to the site. That's a nice car. Do you have any extra parts. Since is is in the original family, hopefully you still have the original carbs and air cleaner. Those carbs are aftermarket mechanical versions that were popular changes. You should have carb numbers of 4789,4790 and 4791.

 :welcome: from Utah.  Great car.  Looking forward to seeing you getting it running. Just curious, how many miles does it have on it?

Cool story, great car. I'm a fan of any colour T/A or AAR with the combo of rallye dash and 4 speed.

 So sorry for your lost. They left you a fantastic car with a great story behind it. Four speed AARs are near the top of e-body desirability. Personally LimeLight is one of my favorite Mopar colors and I prefer a white interior as well however many don't care for those colors. I hope you enjoy it for many years. :cheers: 8)
