El Toro is a sedan, and not one of the original 10"/15" factory cars. Only 1 sedan was constructed as a "factory" car, and it was a Dodge, and was done after the mule and the other hardtops.

Where are all the old 62-65 B body & 64-68 A body cars that were around in the mid to late 60's?
There has to be some of them left. and IM not talking about current recreations.

Not a big name racer, or a factory car. This was a 1964 MW lightweight and got an injected Hemi and the 1965 fiberglass kit and windows.

It's now in Garlit's museum in Florida. Different paint job, and a blown wedge engine.

I have no idea, but the guy sent Hemi Fred some photos to put on his website but that never happened. Not a big name racer I guess.

Hey anyone want to explain the reason for the wheel base shift, it appears that some of these cars have longer front sections than others, did they set the engines back also?
Posted By: The Shocker
Re: A/FX altered wheelbase Mopars - 03/01/10 10:42 PM
I think the reason for the altered wheelbase was to simulate engine setback .By moving the rearend forward it did the same thing.Also the extra over hang over the rear axle proly helped traction.Things tend to get heavier when they are out there further from the pivot point ...

Look for the old AWB car around 3:30 on the video on Garlit's museum. Shameless self promotion. Sorry, it's my only claim to fame (what little there is?) Thanks to Chuck and Fred.
