Old Mopar Nut here. Just an update on the 65 altered wheelbase car. Car is being completely redone but still retains the 555 cu. in. injected HEMI! Motor has been rebuilt with all new components including a little bit stronger cam. Tranny has been changed back to an original column shift 65 727 and built stronger to handle the new rebuilt motor. Rearend is still the Dana 60 with 4:10 posi unit. With the removal of the 16 point cage, all new floors were installed and a stock looking 4 point cage will be installed since car will not be used for drag racing purposes. Fiberglass components consist of hood, fenders, deck lid, front bumper, and two original fiberglass doors that I purchased some 12 years ago (off of an original race car for big bucks). The two front wheels are magnesium with the two spoke screw-on spinners off of the original Sites Bros. A990 race car. Rear wheels are also magnesium, 10” wide, and are brand new in the box, all mounted on Mickey Thompson tires. Car has received a new paint scheme in 2 tone, bright red and silver metallic (lot of flake). Interior is from Gary Ball designs which he had done a few years back.
New front windshield, new rear glass in smoke, and all new plexiglass side windows in smoke. That’s why the car still retains the air conditioning. Upcoming pictures will show the meticulous effort put into this restoration of a beautiful car. See you all later! Thanks for listening.
