Does this movie have Isaac Hayes in it ??   or the Voice of "chef" on South park to the Younger crowd.

It is good to see a piece of history being well kept

[redrider]

where is this car now

[Ghoste]

Last I heard Steven Juliano had it but I also heard a rumor that he may have sold it.

[SBBob]

Howdy.  I was lucky enough to meet Raffi and the Supercharger while it was here in the Seattle area.  A friend of mine Steve rebuilt the front end on it and we towed it on my trailer to his house for the repairs.  I am trying to get him to find the pictures he took.  He had permission to test drive the car after the repairs were done and I got to go for a ride around the block.  Raffi displayed the car at the Mopars Unlimited - Seattle Chapter's car show call the All MOPAR Spring Round Up in 1993.  Here are a couple of pictures I tool at the show.  I was also at Carsile when the car was on display.  I talked to Dave from Total Auto and found out Raffi was not there as his wife was having their second child.  Dave was intreged that a guy from Seattle knew so much about the car.  Enjoy the pictures and the magazine coverage of the 1993 show with the Supercharger.  Yo, SBBob

The rest of the magazine article.

I met Raffi real nice guy he was working for the Franklin Mint they put on a regular car show there.But he had already sold the car.But turned out my friend Steve bought it .And I had the chance to go see it and look it all over



I seen it after 1998

[Magnumcharger]

Raffi is a friend of mine on Facebook. He's an automobile designer by trade.

[Magnumcharger]

Just got off the phone with Mike Alexander, builder of the "Topless Charger".
I brought him up to date on the comings and goings of the Supercharger, and wanted his opinion of the car.

He told me that Elwood Engel was a weird fellow to deal with! He remembers the build as well, and that it was pretty quick, as most PR cars were.

I also wanted to verify that the gas cap off of it (which I got from Steve Juliano) was the same as the Deora. He told me it was, and was a favorite of Chrysler Corp and their PR cars.

Thanks!

Yes, there were two caps on the SuperCharger...I asked for one...Jim asked for the other. Steven put two new ones on the car after he restored it.
