Wow, good find indeed!   :popcrn:

One would think that if dodge did it as part of the PR system that their would be more promo shots of it around??

And if it turns up, how long before it turns up for auction as a factory built prototype driven exclusively by Bob McCurry?

VERY interesting! Thanks for posting.  :2thumbs: Im thinking an AAR style fiberglass as well, nice to see something done.
Although that looks as if someone made the hood end at the header panel, hmm... :scratchchin:
