It's not going to be a carbureted car. Just the crate engines Mopar will sell. They will be either EFI or Carbureted. :pow:

There a reason for the paint and the scoop

The scoop is very simular the the old 68 hemi darts and the paint honors one of the greatest drivers to ever row a 4-speed down the quarter mile. I'll take it as is:icon_mrgr
