When I saw the thread title, I wondered why someone would be looking for such a thing.
Then I saw the picture and understood.
As a kid in the early 80s, my Dad would take me along to the garage where the state car inspections were done. It was a pretty narrow/long place, with 1 drive-in door and lots of stalls and cubbies angled off both sides. Junk and clutter everywhere, junk cars in the side stalls, junk covered in junk.
But I remember sometimes there was a Challenger like the one above, 72-74 style, silver with black VT, Rallye wheels, and it looked almost perfect (in comparison, at least!). It didn't seem like a customer's car, it seemed like it was associated there somehow.
I sometimes wonder if it was a rare 340/360 model, maybe 4-speed, was it perhaps a Rallye? And is it still around, cherished by somebody?
I'll never know.

Well I hope someone somehow has some info on the car I would love to buy it. I know my dad would crap if I pulled up in it. He never wanted to sell it but life happens.

Ah, I wondered if there was a sentimental connection.
I hope you find it!
Got a VIN on it? Maybe a local policemen and/or DMV can help if you explain why?
And don't forget the old-fashioned Google on the VIN.
