Only thing STOCK about the NSS cars of today is some of the sheet metal. Nothing wrong with it, except it is a misrepresentation to the younger crowd in a lot of ways. Pre 65 cars were very fast if they ran mid / low 11's and of course, wheel stands, wheelie bars, parachutes, 10/12 point cages, 500 CU motors, 13" wide tires, etc, never happened. I really like the NSS cars of today. They are fun and exciting to watch. Just not a true representation of how it was.
the car today, runs 10.30's thru the mufflers

I agree with Ron as well. As a side note, with all the downfalls to fenderwell headers, am I the only guy that just thinks they are super-cool or what?
Sheldon
I dont think you could even get chassis headers for a 62 to 65 bigblock Mopar back in the days.
Our 64 ran with Doug's headers. I had to have the fenderwell exit headers on my 63 Max Plymouth custom made, as no one was making any headers ( assemble line) in early 63.
I've had a few sets myself and loved them... Jardine's. I sold the last set about 6 years ago.

I tried to get mine close. Period wheels,period interior,push button,chrome bumpers,orange motor(now with stickers). But I don't know how to hide the inline manifold, maybe I'll call it a "Wedge Rat Roaster". Then there's the motor plate,braided lines and a vacuum pump. I'll just leave the hood on. Doug

Do I get points for the wheels?
"dvw" that car of yours looks great. I did not mean to start a big storm over this as most all of the cars on here look so cool whether they are period correct or not. Heck I was going for the 60's SS look and my car is nowhere near perfect. I guess its just the modern interior really threw me off. But they are all cool cars in whichever way they are represented as. And thanks for all the kind replies. Ron

Here's a couple good references for original appearances. Obviously race cars back in the day had some minor add ons and changes, (headers, ignition, etc.) but they were limited to what aftermarket parts were available back then (NOT many!). That bronze car above is nothing short of BEAUTIFUL! But it's not what I consider Nostalgic or anything close to what they looked like back in the day. Yes, you get extra credit for the wheels and the stance!
