Yes I think it did. Also the vin says it’s a 1970 340.
I’ve been in contact with Jim and he says it’s a 340 A66 with the Performance Package so would have had the hood as standard.

It’s a late 1970 car so maybe they fitted the 71 dash. I’ve seen a few 1970 Challengers with similar dashboards.

Funnily enough that was my first thought when I saw it.

I think his car was an R/T. Reg: AKV 26H.
I understand this car was imported to the UK in 2005. Has New York license certificate on the windscreen from 2004.

Yes I just meant at a quick glance it's very similar and brought Dave's car to mind straight away. At a closer look the 2 cars are quite different in fact.

Well the Dukes of Hazzard comments have started. Everyone says it's the General Lee. I can't be bothered to explain that that was a Charger, so just nod. And someone asked if it was a Cortina.
Yesterday took it and my Mustang to our local for my Birthday lunch.

Forget the cars.....check out the size of the hanging baskets!!
Looks like fun. Both cars look fantastic. That front end on the Mustang looks really mean!

Excellent Mark, worth waiting and you got a 70 in one of the best colours, and the best engine combo for an E body.
I look forward to seeing it.
