the answer......

....the car pictured in the advertisement was never built......

...the ad was for a 1971 Challenger T/A...after a rather dismal season in the 1970 Trans Am Racing circuit the program was discontinued...there were about 2500 of the 1970 T/A Challengers built in a 40 day period during the spring of 1970....

...for decades, MOPAR "detectives" looked for the 1971 Challenger T/A used in the ad, the "Holy Grail", the "Million Dollar MOPAR"....several years ago it was finally revealed the car in the ad was really a 1970 model and the 1971 grill was air brushed in...also the 340 SIX PAK letters on the front fenders were airbrushed over,it still shows as a blur if you look closely....the grill is also quite evident upon close examination that it is faked....interesting MOPAR history....they advertised a car they never built(good use of marketing funds).....
