1970 Dodge Diamante Show Car
Background
Mopar Action Magazine calls the Diamante Show Car the “Most Valuable Mopar on the Planet” in their August 2012 (Volume 19 Number 5) issue. Most of the information in this Wiki was gleaned from that magazine article. It began life as a Dodge Challenger, the first Hemi E-Body ever built. It was the most highly optioned Challenger ever built, and originally a triple black 4-speed convertible.
History
On the first day of production of the Mopar E-Body, the most highly optioned Hemi was painted black, given the VIN of JS27ROB100022, and then pulled of the line to become a show car. It was a 4.10 Dana car with power windows and adding to its firsts — it was the first production Mopar with a Shaker Hood. However, it wasn’t originally built as the Diamante.
