This overpriced example brings up an interesting question: from what I gather, having spoken to a couple of people that actually bought one of these cars at Grand-Spaulding Dodge, Mr. Norm installed Doug's headers on them. One person, whose car was yellow and this could well be it, told me his was straight off the transporter and he "had to wait a couple of hours" while they did the dealer prep and installed the headers. The headers were not on the window sticker and there was no charge for them. They were included in the purchase price of the car, including installation.

Is the car "original" as built by Chrysler, or do dealer mods count if they were done prior to the original delivery? It's a sticky question with pretty strong opinions in either direction. I'd almost like to see this car with headers on it, being a Mr. Norm car.
