Re: [FWDLK] General Insanity

[Terry & Andree Hoeman <tehoema@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just picked up a current  issue of the Mopar Collectors guide and it has a 
neat article about Charger no 1 which was used for the intro jump scene and 
in the 4th episode with petty blue paint before going into retirement in a 
grove of trees.

It has just been restored to original condition.  Well at least a couple of 
original parts are still there.  After removing the rust not too many part 
are original.

Was a neat article.
