From what I read in an old Mopar mag, Plymouth had started testing a winged 71 before the axe fell on the winged thing. MPC had access to the plans and this was the result. There was a photo of the wind tunnel model rolling around the internet for a while, but, I can't find it and the copy I had went away when I had a massive computer crash a few years ago. Maybe someone here has one. 

But yup, it was going to be real.

These Customs and the Green one were auction off at Mecum 2023 Indy. I am slowly catching up with the Indy auction on Motor Trend +

I saw them years ago up at the Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle. Don't remember what year now but they looked pretty well put together.

The green car in the first picture was featured in the Dec. 2008 issue of Mopar Action magazine. Here’s a few pics from the write up. (Mods, if this is against the rules please delete.)
