CougarTim ◊ 2024-12-07 21:05	It's a Firedome; the Firesweep was the cheapest model and had Plymouth front fenders.
electra225 ◊ 2024-12-08 14:30	The Firesweep had actually got Dodge front fenders and in my opinion this has got such Dodge front fenders with heavier chrome surrounding and therefore it is a Firesweep in my opinion. -- Last edit: 2024-12-08 23:41:12
