Hope I'll be wrong though.... '

Dodge had the Coronets, Royals and Custom Royals and maybe another name for the station wagons in 1959 The guys that spend the money to have those bodys made are very dedicated I hope it runs as good as it looks Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

It had a mild steel chassis so it was only cert to 7.5, I remember we run some high 7�s with a very safe setup There has been another one here later running in pro mod,maybe from those same molds but now i m just guessing... 5711067-5217293_1_1.jpg (306 downloads) -65 Valiant,420", all motor,2700#, dot tires, 8,42 @ 160,2
