What i consider insanely to high if you look behind it you can see the very front of the other rc i had that was fairly stock to see the height difference

In 78 dodge only made 500 Gt's it was the last body in nascar until now, and what makes it 1 of 1 is you won't find another like it, this car came with spoilers and wheel flares which i took off because of it got to much attention

Here is a pic of the slightly modified rear suspension for handling by removing the slop associated with shackles for road racing also used in oval cars

The tires are 44's the lift is a superlift kit and a 3" body lift if you look just behind it you can see how much of a difference in height from the stock rc to that almost a monster and getting in was fun also you have to be in shape to get in there also the t-case has to be lowered and the rear has to be reset for the driveshaft angles

I never found anything about 800 of them, i know in 79 they made more than 500 of them, but i believe it was less than 1100, to be totally honest on the part # thing i never really looked, but i don't remember seeing parts #'s on anything i took off, now if the spoiler is as your saying a 80's thing well i got the car from my buddies father that bought the car brand new from dodge when it was in the auto show here in NY the car was delivered to the dodge dealer that was on myrtle ave in brooklyn, i have the bill of sale and all the other paper work with it and even the letters back and fourth on the argument about the full size matching spare and rim and trim rings and center cap with dodge, nothing on that car was added Jimmy was a fanatic with that car and the second he though of selling it i got it, no one ever touched that car, but me and his son and the only thing wrong with it that i ever changed was the power steering box other than tune-ups and regular stuff, which the steering box turned into a fiasco since it was a quick ratio, another thing about the GT's is they are not recognized, they do not show up in books and parts suppliers and appraisers also know nothing about them, i did spend about week years and years ago with dodge on the phone back and fourth with several different people and the # they gave me was 500 or maybe a few more for 78 they said.

Nothing on the car is butchered, it can all go back, , i did have several GT's, i had a t-top car also, the wheels were GT wheels however the gt insignia that the fender badges and trunk lid had the wheels themselves were missing the original caps, the wheels have a silver metal flake ruff contour material

hmmm. what do they do for the handling? would they be good for a street car? an do they make em for A bodies. it looks like a trick way to drop an inch in the rear!
You can use it on any car, it's advantages are no rubber bushings that give movement, and no shackle flex, it will lower the car a inch or so but that's about it , in my cars i use them and love them, in the GT the front spring is also moved up into the car , the front of the spring can be adjusted up or down, but getting back to the question yes the nylon in the spring eye has no deflection and there is no shackle so the is no movement of the rear in turns from side to side and aids in handling by keeping the suspension tight and the rear located by not having that sloppy movement from the shackle
