Hemi Moose. looks like the old Owensboro Ky. drag strip. I was only 16 at the time but i was writing a newspater column at the time to give out the weekends results in return for free admission. Sure was a great time back then with Paul Lance and the 64 and 65 Ky colonel cars on hand, and the Kentuckian another 65 hemi car.

blakkmaxx...I remember seeing some old pics of the '65 Coronet 'Kentucky Colonel' A/FX AWB car...I think that car was found & restored and sold recently at a auction a few years back...if you have any old pics post'em.

Nice find Charlie, but I'm wondering if this was a real A990 car to start with according to this statement below...anyone here know for sure.

This car was originally a "doner" car for an altered WB car built at Branster's shop for Roger Lindamood. The car was originally "given" to Ron Mancini as a body in white roller. Ron didn't do anything with it, he was building his 68 Dart and Hoover decided I could put it to good use. I got the car with a crashed 65 4 door car for $300 from Ron.
I put the car together with all my own stuff. Don't get me wrong, Allot of good people at Chrysler helped me learn real fast what I needed to know to screw a competitive car together and have a shot.
