Rare Mopars in the MMA

As some of you may know (if you read my column in Connected) that we are hoping to 'Beef Up' or stand at the NEC Classic Car show 13th - 15th November 2015?
With this in mind I'm looking for the rarest car we have in the MMA that is willing to display at this years show.
Please bare in mind that it doesn't have to be a show winner, one of my favourite cars at last years show was a rusty pile of a Jensen!
I realise it's only January but I'm compiling the paperwork & would like to add this to our application.
So don't be shy!

In terms of production rarity, surely Pete's Bee Is up there, as is Bobs daytona, and any other wing cars.

My Bee is always available but it has been on the MMA stand in 2013, and on the adjacent CA stand in 2014; so I think it would be better for a bit of variety and have other cars there for 2015.
As ever, Mark's '71 is the daddy should he wish to display it (his choice)
I hope to have the Altered done this year (looking less likely given the house build that will start shortly) but the only thing Mopar about it is the engine (and even that was not made by Chrysler.....
)

Jim's Cuda has been displayed at the NEC before too but not for a very very long time.
It's not only rare for being a Hemi. It is rare because it has a two tone paint job from the factory.

I think if Jim put the "for sale" price ticket on the car it would cause quite a bit of chatter too.

Would mine qualify for that? 1 of only 13 TB3 4 speed 340 RR's built in 72.
As I was informed by a previous owner when I took it to the Nats year before last.
Wonder how many of the 13 are still around?

Well mine has more doors and a longer roof than most others
Does that make it rare

Thanks guys, Jim's cuda sounds good I've also had some other members contact me directly so it should be a cracking stand this year.

Yeah I'll go with Mark's 'Cuda for the showstopper, it'll do the same for our club that the supercharged car did for the Jensen club
And I know it gets everywhere but Dons 'Bird is always a massive public crowd pleaser
And I'd like to see some skirt on the stand, with very short skirts
