Flew into
Phoenix airport this afternoon, and down by the baggage
carousels they had a '71 440 *Automatic* Charger R/T. Yes, it was built
that way, and yes, as far as I could tell it was showroom perfect. Plum
Purple. Black leather, front buckets. R/T trim package.
Hmm - that must be some
kind of weird code for a computer, right?
'71 440... Does it maybe have a slash in there somewhere ('71/440)?
Obviously, the name "Charger" either implies it's a Texan computer, or
maybe that it was really quite fast for it's day. R/T's got me stumped,
unless it means "radio teletype", which seems unlikely...
Oh, and what on earth would it want buckets for? Does it leak coolant or
something?
bit buckets.
