Found in a barn in Iowa: NASCAR Dodge Charger with Petty chassis

Often sponsored by Kirby Hairstudio, although it does not look as if Rapid Roy was a frequent customer there, he later switched to a Camaro, which looked more than a cheapo batmobile wannabee and lacked the class of the Olds!   [...]
