    The story I got from a family friend who worked in a Mopar assembly plant is the " Midnight Special " was a phrase used for family and friends orders. They got upgrades that were not on the assembly ticket.

    Chrysler did use the slogan "The night belongs to Charger" for that generation of the Charger, but the real name of this special model is Limited Edition and was introduced as a "77 1/2" model. It is featured in the March 1977 issue of Motor Trend and its styling cues are the fiberglass roof with seemingly-recessed back window, horizontal bar through the opera window and the "Mirada-style" color-keyed horizontal slat grille.

    Alex is little by little getting more comfortable in front of the camera and showing more of his personality. Its hard sometimes for a talented technician and artist like Alex is to embrace the whole shaking hands, kissing babies, and making friends persona, but he has a good teacher. And besides Dennis doesen't keep him around for his stage presence, but rather because he is a MFn wizard with cars. Love this show!

    The car that the gentleman referred to as the Midnight Special is a 1977 Dodge Charger SE finished in Eggshell White with white vinyl roof, powered by the 360 V8 that is paired with an automatic transmission. Nicely equipped with power steering, power brakes, and A/C. This car is one of only 27,000 produced with only 500 believed to still be around today! This car features the rare Limited Edition package which has the split opear windows in the rear, color-keyed front grille, landau roof, and a sunken rear window similar to the 1968-70 Chargers. Red cloth split bench seat interior with automatic on the column.
