Anybody catch the episode with this car? I don't believe the "factory" 6 BBl part, (still had heat stove on left manifold) but an interesting car. Citron Yella, A/C, console automatic, tach., rimblow wheel. Big Sport Fury emblems on the C pillars. Does anybody know more about this car?

You could buy a "B" Six-Pac intake from Direct Connection, along with a complete induction system...so technically you could get a "factory" set up for a 383 (or 361 or 400), it just wasn't installed on the assembly line! His story about getting a "Plymouth prototype" is complete BS, obviously.
Nice car but never was a 383/6 protoype.

A Big red flag is the "SPORT FURY EMBLEMS" mounted on the on the C pillars were a 1969 year only Sport Fury front fender insert !!!
Factory built cars never had A/C on a 6 pack car.....

It's the same guy with the Hurst. He used wrong parts all over that car as well.
This car used to show up at Carlisle every few years. To say the owner was boisterous is an understatement. He usually had a friend with them and the crap they spewed out over and over was ridiculous. The last time that I saw this car it had a 4-bbl carb so the 6-bbl set up wasn't factory. I'm sure someone has a photo of this car without a six pack set up. This car had an engine compartment fire at one time and has had a lot of gremlins, especially electrical gremlins. It is a shame that such a nice car has been bastardized.
The speedometer instead of having "Certified" on it says "Police Special" or something similar. This guy would swear that the '69 Sport Fury emblems on the C Pillar were factory and would say something about left over parts. Sure thing. Yup, Chrysler held onto '69 parts to use in '71. While I generally never say never with the way our cars were built, in this case I will say NEVER in regards to all the wrong things done to this otherwise very nice car in a rare color.

He threw a fit at the Hurst show this year because they wouldn't let him have his car in the indoor arena. He thought his was more deserving than the original promo car they had inside. He got mad and left the show.

The fender tag would be the tell all... of course they never showed it. Plymouth wanted it back... a year later...

But, again our favorite cars are getting TV face time and attention. Good things for manufacturers of replacement parts
I remember the car at Carlisle Bill, last I recall it was probably 10 years ago. I never spoke to the owner but yeah, too bad it is in the wrong hands
They didn't show much of the engine bay but I did see an aluminum radiator and didn't see a fender tag on the core support.

I think that remains to be seen. . . Too many issues and unanswered questions regarding this car.

It's been in magazine with him spewing about left over emblems.
True, I hope someone someday gets the chance to check out the fender tag....if it has one.
This is the type of person that ruins our hobby and he needs to have everything he says refuted as much as possible on the world wide web so that no one believes his bold face lies.
