Get asked at car cruises quite often..

That black and white press photo looks more like a Dart.
I haven't done in-depth research on the kit cars but it appears that the car featured in my post was a prototype completed in 1973, before the kit car program actually got started. I believe that press photo is from 1974 and depicts a kit that was available at that time. I found an article by Mecum Auctions that goes into more detail on the kit cars and states that "starting with the basic Petty Enterprises chassis, the car could be bodied as a Chrysler A- or E-model." That article has more detailed information and photos. Here's the link . . .
