Thanks Mike. VERY NICE CAR! Is yours an original Elastomeric bumper car? Looks like California plates, is that where you picked it up?




yes, car came from Lancaster, Ca and yes, it has rubber bumpers, has 55K miles. I did cheat and have the original engine rebuilt for care free driving.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! I'd like to see more pic's of your car if you'd care to share them. You can PM them or Email them if you don't wish to post them on here.

Looks good.
For the day 2 look, I would look at getting tires that fill the wheel wells more though. Its easy to spend someone elses money.

I say day two...You gotta fill the FRONT and BACK wheel wells on these 71's, there is so much space, it makes the car look small with bigger tires...



The car looks great!

Thanks 68killer, Yeah the fronts look especially wimpy..... I just had to try them for a showing.

Steve, Thanks for the Props! Your thread was what inspired me to keep on going on my car. Your car looks GREAT although it looks like you may need a set of mud flaps for those Monsters.

Scatpacktom, Thanks. I'm with YOU on this one! I think I'll stick with the Polyglas and rallye's. It would be a shame to use them on a trailer. I think the Dodge boys did a pretty good job hitting the bullseye on looks back in '71.

Whem I lived in Nephi Utah back around 1983 or so there was an identical twin to that car in town, back then it was in really nice original condition. I wondwr if its the same car?

I don't think it is, but i don't know that for sure. I bought the car in Nov. 2001 and was told by the second owner it had sat in storage for 15 years (Oklahoma). That would bring us back to '86.... First owner said he had a relative with a small car lot sell it for him because it was getting kind of shabby. He was also from Oklahoma.... The first owner was stationed (Air Force) for some time in Cocoa beach Fla. and said that is were it picked up the rust. It would have had to deteriorate pretty much in those three years.
The next time I talk to the original owner, I'll ask if he ever spent time in Utah. Is there an Air force base near there?
Thanks for the reply, another possible part of the story to try and track down.
