The W023 was the answer. Chrysler placed the battery in the trunk, deleted the heater and a variety of other unnecessary items, and then dropped in a Hemi. It was available with an auto or manual trans and the 4-speeds ran 4.88 gears in the rear. There was also a Plymouth Belvedere R023 sister car with a similar setup; 55 of each were built. They came with no factory warranty, a fairly common feature for factory race cars of the era.
