The #3850 lb. Charger R/T was 'Chemically Engineered' {acid-dipped} by the Factory before it was shipped out.

It was rumored that that the car was under 3500 lbs. after it's 'bath treatment'.
That's a quite a story, Paul! One question: what engine was in the car allowing it to run to run in C/SA? It couldn't have been a 426 HEMI.

If Art Leong is reading this (or someone can get him to read this post), can you tell us from whom you and Ray obtained the car and add more tidbits to the story?

Pete
