Lot #626 - This 440ci U-code Charger Rallye has a very unique history. Known as the "CIA Charger" in the Mopar world, this example recently came out of a private collection. It was purchased new as a special-order export delivery for the CIA Deputy Station Chief, Mr. Dino J. Pionzio, and shipped to the American Embassy in Bogota, Colombia, in May 1972. Then in 1974, the car was shipped back to CIA headquarters in Mclean, VA waiting for his next assignment. The car was then shipped with him over to London, England for two years and returned back to Mclean, VA in 1977. This Charger Rallye is powered by its original 440ci U-code V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission and a 3.55 performance axle. Sold through Trail Dodge in Miami, FL, it was ordered fully loaded with all the options including air conditioning, power windows, power disc brakes and rear defogger. Finished in the high-impact color of Top Banana, it also features hidden headlamps, updated with Lo-Jack and comes complete with receipts for recent work done. Documentation includes Window Sticker, Build/Broadcast Sheet, Fender Tag and export paperwork to American Embassy in Bogota, Colombia. A very unique muscle car with an amazing history. Winner of the 2017 New England Concours de la gance. Award ribbon included.
