    Really sweet looking cars......Just couldn't see myself spending 200k for the Coronet..... It does bring back a memory of my 63 Dodge 330 Sedan though, with a transplanted 440 cid.....Talk about Torque ,, loved that car but lost it in my one and only divorce almost 30 years ago....I think the ex sold it for a couple hundred dollars becuase she was broke....What a ditz!!!!

    That white vehicle is 1 of 100 made just for drag racing. Even the glass is irreplaceable, 1/16 thick (Lexan) had not been invented yet. All metal is super thin. Almost everything is origional.

    That explains the 200k asking price.... Definatly a sweet ride for a collector.... Just one question Prof ---How can something that was not invented yet be on the car:D

    Really great looking Fuelie.... I just love the C1's. That is a nice car for the money. Thanks for the pics, Roy. I wish I could have made the show. It's been too long since we've spent precious hours together. :)

    Actually, no... The single headlight C1's were the first with FI. 1956 was the first year. This one is a 1959 or 1960... can't tell which. :eek:

    looks like a 60, was it 59 or 61 that came with painted headlight bezels? it's missing the distributor cover too.

    You could be right on the bezels.... but, I don't think they put a distributor on the FI cars (nothing to ground to ;) ), at least not on the 283's.

    I would just want the motor, A max wedge hemi is something to have.

    My girlfriends dad has a true hemi like that in 1 of his old muscle cars. just the single 4 not the max.
