@69a100...the winning-stickers at the left backside-window are old and not from me, the former owner won the races in this time and maybe he had to much sun from left behind, so that er thought"...need more shadow for beeing cool in racing, well one more winning-sticker is against heat...."....but i know that he realy won in this time, i was looking for the history of the car in web and found some facts about...
look....old foto in the web

A very nice ride Winki and welcome for the Pacific Northwest. What kind of times did the car run before you acquired it? I also have a '65 Dodge Coronet. Thanks for joining us.

i know for shure that the car was running a low 11, but i must read in the papers wich the American owner was given to the coro ....he listed a lot of infomation....an i think that i saw also some times in 10...this year in germany we will see how fast it goes, cause had no chance in the last Year to drive a quartermile ....there were more classic furlong Distance races ....sadly we have not so much wonderfull raceways for dragracing like the american gearheads ...mostly the races are at old airports
