Randy has this to say about his Mod Top:

I purchased the car from the original owner in 1989. She bought the car from Northland Chrysler in Oak Park, Michigan, had the Chrysler Air added and then moved to Seminole, Florida. The car has always been kept in a garage and has only 52k miles on it.

I haven’t done any work to the car and it is all original except for the paint, which was redone by the original owner (with the correct y2 yellow). After purchasing the car I joined a Mopar club (West Coast Mopars) and started winning trophies at car shows. I’m not active in the shows anymore, but I still enjoy taking it out for rides (even though I get strange looks).
