So I saw this car on Google..I cut and pasted the narrative from Google.But like i said,this is one wild ride.I’m sure many of you have seen this car before.

“Narrative: Let's take a trip back in time. In 1970, the Mopar winged aero-cars were kicking ass in NASCAR, so Chrysler funded testing of the new 1971 designs at Wichita State University's wind tunnel. The team used ⅜-scale models of Chargers and Road Runners and fitted them with an array of wings, nose cones, and other aero bits. Sadly, it all became a wasted effort when NASCAR banned the winged cars from competition. The 406-page report titled "Results of the Wind Tunnel Tests of the 'G' Series Dodge and Plymouth B-Bodies for the Development of Grand National Race Cars" (whew, that's a mouthful!) was relegated to the dustbin of history, and we were never treated to the 1971 wing cars that could have been”.
