okay , i posted this in the wrong place i think since nobody seems to have any idea on this car . being a race car , and moparts members are everywhere , somebody has to have seen this car at a local track ? i just bought the car and trying to find history , info , pics , video etc . the roll cage certification sticker has a ca. on it so i assume it has been raced in calif. ? but not sure if the ca means the state ? it is a tube frame a-arm car , so not legal for super stock classes but may have been in super gas ? the guys name is on the front motor plate , john colone , anyone know him or this car ? you can email me if you dont want to post info publicly , tedevans57@yahoo.com
Just an old man in his late 50's now that grew up in the 60's and 70's around real muscle cars when they were still new and cutting edge . I was from Michigan but raised in SO. Calif. from a young age until I came back home to get away from the nightmare traffic and smog laws and way too expensive living cost . I am still addicted to mopars and mostly early station wagons , but still love most of the pre '73 mopars the most .

@ dodge daytona , i dont think it's done nice enough to have been a pro stock . it is a 2x3 frame with mustang II front , rack & pinion , with a dana 60 in the rear with ladder bar /coilovers . the car must have had a tiny (4 ft tall ? ) driver . i dont have long legs and i'm only 5'9" tall and my head almost hits the roof , and the pedals are so close i can barely get my left leg back far enough to use the brake pedal . i know how to fix it all so it's no big deal but i could not drive it like this . i seriously think the driver was much less than 5 ft tall . my sister is 4 ft 10" and i bet she would feel tall in this car , lol .

dont take offense ,your pics of the yellow car reminds me of our yellow taxi volare was a joke car that was done for laughs . it was heavily rusted underneath the bondo and yellow paint . it was driven from louisiana with 430 gears (i am glad it wasn't me driving ) , we took it on trade for the 340 that was in it . nothing special , a cast crank 340 with a 501 comp cam hyd. we played with it , put gears and slicks , 750 dp carb and a 3500 stall conv. we got that car to go 12.68 at terminal island in so cal. our 14 year old nephew learned to drive in that car on the strip . we later put a 360 in it with a cheater cam and got it to run mid 11's until it ripped the spring mounts out of the body . we called it the yeller cab and it got a lot of laughs . A friend of mine has one here on Long Island,but it's been hidden away for years!

and dragula , i was looking at your duster in the for sale posts , that is one sweet ride . i was close to calling you but this one came along too low priced to pass up . i really wanted a duster or a sleeper b-body wagon It might be Mark Ewart's old card...If I had his number still I would have called him to ask about it.

Kinda glad nobody bought it....I just put a fully ported 4500 intake and borrowed the Dominator off my Cuda on it now, and in a week or two I am going to re-fresh the trans with all good billet parts from A&A like I just did to my Cuda....Then it will go to Veto's and we will scale it again and make sure its right on for racing this year. My 60ft varied a little last year and it bit me a couple times on my dial in. Hoping to find enough HP to 6.0's this year on pump gas.

John Colone owned a Chrysler/Plymouyh dealer in Pinkney MI. He had a couple of bracket cars and some street stuff as I remember. I've seen this car run at Milan long ago I'm sure it was built local in the Detroit Metro area, or close. The only other tube chassis Volare I remember around here was Van Smith's which was built by The late Steve Greabeck. Doug I can picture the Volare in question running out at Milan as well but do not remember what years. I am thinking late 80's to early 90's. I remember this other Grebeck built car also. Two different cars.
