First idea that comes to mind , is to build something that never existed but as a tribute and a what if ?

Imagine doing something like this but in a Valiant wagon

I have a GREAT idea for a name picked out already and a now out of business Dodge Plymouth dealership to put on there too

To start with, I'll get it cleaned up and patch the areas of concern for now but, going to leave as much original paint as possible until the fab work is done, etc

My other idea is to make a street/strip basic car I can DRIVE over to track its only about 15 miles away .

Loading up the 64 is a gigantic pain just to go over there

I guess it will have a small block in it which for me will be a change


It won't have to be real fast to have fun with it

Sleeper look, fool some people ..Its weird and I like that part of it

Sell it to me!

I would say small block 4 speed stock interior with 4 wheel disc based on an 8.25 rear end for easy big bolt pattern swap. Oh I could go on and on.

A stout 416,Dougs headers,good exhaust, rollerized 904 and 3.55 gears in an 8 3/4 should get you in the 7's. I spy a set of Sundance bucket seats inside that car. I know the dude that owns it, and the seats could get thrown in for free

Trade you for a 1955 Plymouth 2 door hardtop and it has to be decent enough to actually own

Not a complete pile o' junk like some I have looked at lately on wild goose chases

I actually saved this one from a local junkyard in 1999 when I moved here . At the time I had 7 vehicles that I drug saved from being crushed and I placed a ad on line for it and within a hour , it was off to be built into a drag car ..

It was my idea that Don make a 2 door out of it with his left over Barracuda parts from when it crashed ..

I stopped by the local supply shop and got some, think a couple gallons of Vit-c will cover everything ?
