Great show today...glad you didn't come over...I would still be trying to drag you out of the convention center!!! You can have this one for $95k, just finished a 2 year restoration: Or you can have this one for a cool $200k:
Both have good 'old' rubber, must be the photographer! By the way, the hemi belongs to my local builder, he will sell it for $200k.
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 Where is Jake?????
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.
isn't that the first ones they build with injection ? :dontknow: now that doesn't look right to me for a oldy.... no, want to see carbs , huge and many
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.
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.
