Will try to see if this gains any traction. Hoping to construct ONE thread were all the "special edition", "spring specials", limited runs", road-worthy "prototypes" or other "one-offs", etc C-bodies are captured.
Hopefully we can post information like ads, pictures, mag articles, promotional and/or factory materials from back in the day. Even better, if we can find examples of these vehicles still on the road today.
Tell us what you know about it (them). Talk about your search for one. If you own one, educate us about it .. production history, anecdotes, whatever you want.
Also, ask questions about something you "heard of" and wanna know more about. Maybe somebody heard of it too and/or can produce information to help you in your search for answers. Maybe we can debunk some myths too.
Many of the C's are sprinkled throughout here. If you can find the thread, just post the link to it some were don't have to unnecessarity duplicate all those other threads. And if we can use the categories of cars we follow ..Forward Look, Fusies, Formals, etc. ..on FCBO, cool.
Finally, doesn't have to be C-bodies. It could be other Mopars. And since this is a General Thread, it could be ANY car/truck that fits the bill of "Special Edition". We're all car people here and appreciate all kinda neat vehicles.
I'll start with an example and we'll see if this thread has any legs.
The 1973 Chrylser Mariner. We did a lot this prototype model here on FCBO.
