      He's got a 'Cuda and a Charger sitting. If I had the room...

          I seem to remember a GT version of those cars that had wheel lip flares, and maybe body coloured bumpers? I can't imagine many of those surviving these days. Didn't Car Craft do one as a giveaway car for the Street Machine Nats at some point?

          Could have potential as a NASCAR look car ...

            cool car... maybe worth the asking price. Not so rare. Most 78 Magnums came with 360s.

            Yeah, there was a GT designation in 78 with wheel flares and some even came with duck-tail spoilers! Very not common. Also the P-code cars, 400-4bbl with dual exhaust. Not earth shattering, but respectable for the day.

            and yeah, Car Craft did a give away one in 78/79

              Something like this? Not a bad looking car really.

                      Jordi? I still think it's pretty cool. I have a wagon, what do I know.

                        I dont see much difference in the Magnum and the Cordoba and the Charger of the same vintage....style wise they are the same.....there was a chick in high school who had a silver one with a 440 in it, her dad owned a salvage yard....it would haul the mail

                          the magnum has a unique header panel, hood, doors, taillights, and bumpers. Oh yeah, and some trim.

                          My 79 300 is about 40% dodge magnum. Not kidding...
