An old acquaintance who used to race mopar cars back in the nintees, says he wants to buy my chassi as it stands right now.
I gave him a price and told him I would either sell it for that price, or finnish it and race it one summer before it would be for sale again.

I want a 25.1 chassi with around 2200-2250 pounds without driver, knocking of more than 300 pounds from the Coronet.

It will be sold as roller only, so I am keeping engine and transm.

I have owned this chassi since 1996, so it is mixed feelings.
He says it is a done deal even if he havenīt looked at the chassi in person yet. Well see how it goes.

Thanks Tony ! Yes I have my eyes set on a class here in Sweden called Pro Street, donīt know if you have the same.
7.60 index, only for door cars with suspension on all four wheels.
To run 7.60 with a big heavy ,mild steel chassi, take to much hp for my little 540, most guys runs 600+ cui and nitrous.

Just got the message( from the buyer), he will pick up the Coronet chassi in two weeks.

Hereīs chassi that looks interesting.

Almost to good of a price tho.
No info of who built it either.

Tom...I have to say that your car is one of my absolute favorite rides on this site...Just make sure if you sell it the person who buys it joins Moparts so I can keep up on it



I will, he asked if I had motorplate and midplate for mopar BB, so the chassi goes to a good home.

Hereīs pics, for those who donīt know the car.

Tom, do you mean you are selling the whole car as a roller or just the chassis? If you are selling the Coronet, what will you replace it with?

I am only selling the chassi, and keeping engine and my new PG with ultra case and all the good stuff.

It will be replaced with an old pro stocker or some other pro built molly SFI 25.1 chassi. Old Pro Mods are probably to heavy for want I am looking for.

Sorry to see you sell it but you have a goal in mind so I'll let it slide. You have done a lot of great work on that car, I'm sure the new owner is getting a very nice ride. I wish I had the same luck selling mine.

I think everybody thinks you are selling the body too, cause you said "the Coronet" is sold in your title. Well, I am happy you will still be RT540! I love that black sinister Dodge!

Dave, sorry to disappoint you, but the whole car goes, I am only keeping the engine and transm.

I need a slicker body to run 7.60 and 170-175mph.
I need to add N2O, but much less than with the big B-body.

Thanks, it is also all the hours spent in the garage that makes you nostalgic.

Hereīs a picture of the Pro mod Avanger on Racingjunk with VFN fiberglas body, only weights 2260 without driver.
Any body know the car ?
I do need to wait until my chassi is sold first. If I can, I will buy a chassi in Sweden or nearby country, so I can check it out myself.

Oh OK Tom I guess i was the one lol

anyhow, I fully undertand your need for somehting smaller and lighter and not many of us can have multiple cars(I just sold my challenger which was my original "baby" to help pay for the cuda)
