wow , this is an old post , but a friend tipped me off to it . i just bought a '76 tube frame volare in the detroit area . it was built in michigan in 1976 with a body in white . the owner had a chrysler dealership , it was called "john colone chrysler" i believe . i recently got a call back from one of the guys who raced it later in '86 after they stopped racing it with the hemi . he put a 400 stroker with b1 heads in it . he says the car was raced as a B/gas car in the late 70's with a hemi and a clutchflite . it held some records also . the car ran with the name "special edition" . it is black now , not sure what the paint was like in the 70's i sure would like to see pics of this car from the 70's .he says it was all steel but the hood because the class required a steel body .
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 .
