I would love to see it restored. It is history worth protecting.

This is cool, I am not a car guy but I am not totally ignorant on the topic either. I love when I find out about cars I had no idea ever existed.

I remember that color was used with a red as a two tone package... Like the two tone blue ones were painted... I saw one new in a dealership! A very rich combination. Wonder how many of these cars were built?

[@dutchguysgarage]

145 of the red Dodges and 247 of the Blue Plymouths we're built

Too bad these didn't have the same 225 hp engine as the 'Lil Red Express' pickup from the same year. With the hotter stock engine, these would have definitely given the Trans Am a run for the money. Heck, considering the 'Lil Red Express pickup was the fastest accelerating American vehicle of 1978, imagine how quick these would have been!

Unfortunately the only reason that small block was allowed is because dodge put it in a truck. It was a workaround.
