Interesting site that,i will have a proper look when i have a few hours free ;)

Having had a quick scan this made me laugh :D

Speaking of that, one of the 11 1971 hemi Cuda convertibles produced recently went for about 2 million. I saw one of these 11 cars brand new in a Chrysler showroom in Bridgeport, Connecticut. It was black with a red interior, and a Bridgeport fireman eventually bought it. I passed because the Cuda / Challenger had very poor fit and finish mated to a rather high price tag. A Challenger R/T I looked at and drove had a $4700 window sticker. It had the 440 Magnum, but the rest of the car was garbage. It drove and looked like it was falling apart; I couldn't believe Chrysler would produce something that bad in the day. The Charger was much better, but by 1970 they had reduced the R/T to a garish mess with colors like Plum Crazy, Sublime, Go-Mango, Top Banana, Hemi Orange and Panther Pink, lots of fake air scoops, and all kinds of decals. It was unsightly to say the least, and dealers were stuck with lots of them right into 1971, selling them for half the window sticker just to get rid of them. Today they're worth $70-80,000 restored. Go figure.
