Re: How Many Rare Cars Went This Route?
Two I recall are a 61 348 Tri Power 4 speed Impala SS and a 66 Chevelle SS, factory black L78 car. The drive train out of the 61 is still knocking around somewhere.

Re: How Many Rare Cars Went This Route?
How sure are you that the Masciarelli hemi verts are two different cars? I was told it's the same car with different cosmetics (top, paint) when I made the same assumption as you.
It was also raced as the Mountain Mopar Either way, now restored and reside in multi-million dollar collection. |

Re: How Many Rare Cars Went This Route?
I'm guilty too...turned my '69 442 Post into a Stock car back in the 80's. Haven't seen it in years but what's left of it's still out back of buddy's farm, original rear & swaybar also Vin & Cowl tags still affixed. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] ~ Pete

Re: How Many Rare Cars Went This Route?
All those stripped-out track cars and modified street machines in the old days are why we have $5000 air cleaners and $400 valve stem caps today. Think about it. Today's "unobtanium" was often just parts we removed on Day 2 and threw into dumpsters.

Exactly and attrition. Wrecks, things like that made them what they are today.

Looks more like a 4 Dr Sedan, 300 emblem ......wow, even then 4 door stock cars were made to look like racing coupes. ..... NASCAR history ? as a kid, pre-teen I had to walk over and ON Dad's discarded Corvette Fuel injection units, air cleaners , even the aluminum louvered air cleaners.....to walk through the basement not to mention the garage.....geez.. Once we took one of Dad's hoods,, a '58 Corvette louvered hood, split the skin off the frame and Made Us A 'Sled' for the driveway winters and hillside !!! The louvers, I think slowed us down as the '55 Chevy Hoods 'were faster' yet hurt like hell when they ran us over......Duh..

Re: How Many Rare Cars Went This Route?
On a similar note, how many 302's ended up in USAC sprint cars (the class with the 5.0L limit)?
Here's a pic of the original engine for my Z, circa 1974. |

The Malibu looks like it was a 4 door sedan. The '61 is pretty cool. Chad Oops... someone already said it was a more door. |

Re: How Many Rare Cars Went This Route?
This car went on to run ovals and was destroyed.
Notice anything funny about those inner wheel wells? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] |
