Info From The Owner

Plymouth Champ with a huge 1.4 L engine and a 4 speed tranny, but it also has a high/low shift lever giving it a total of 8 gears to choose from.  The paint job is 100% Krylon spray paint and was done in April of 2001.
I couldn't find any 13" rims that looked like the 'Generals' so I painted them as well.  I paid $50 for the car about a year ago from a college friend
with only 60,000 miles on it... a pretty good deal considering it gets 40 miles/gallon and only a quart of oil every 1,000 miles.  I also added a 1960's cobra hood scoop just for looks (it doesn't make sliding
across the hood any easier.)

I was going to paint the flag on the roof but if I did, I wouldn't be allowed to drive it to work anymore so I decided to leave it for the time being.  I do have a 120 Dbl Dixie horn installed for a horn that cost more the the whole car, but well worth it and will hopefully have the lic. plates reading "minilee".  My car is about a 1/10 of the size of the actual general so that is where the 0.1 came from.
