Caught the Barracuda episode the other night and it was the 1st time I'd ever seen the show. Anyone else notice them removing an air cleaner from a slant-6 during the teardown, then later talking about how rare this V8/pushbutton car is? Something doesn't add up...

OK, regarding my Challenger, since you asked: It's a 1970 "Western Sport Special", which is a pretty rare option package that was only sold in the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas (mine was built at the L.A. plant and sold in the S.F. area). There were only something like 3500 of them made...
