Re: The Factory Experimental Cars
 

Can't forget about the '65 Plymouth called the 'Melrose Missile'...it started out life as a Super Stocker then was transformed into an altered wheel base A/FX...here's a couple of before & after shots of it.

Hey Hemi Moose, have you ever seen a photo of a 65 Plymouth SS car converted to an altered wheelbase car and the turned into a roadster called The Satellite? It belonged to an old, deceased friend of mine and the only time I ever saw the car it had been turned into a doghouse in someones back yard.

Re: The Factory Experimental Cars
 

Can't say I've heard of that one before, but there was a white '64 Race Hemi Plymouth Belvedere called 'The Satellite' but it was restored.

Here's a factory photo of the fiberglass parts they used back then on the 1965 AWB cars they built...it all weighed only 80 pounds.

Re: The Factory Experimental Cars
 

The '65 Melrose Missle car also went through the "metamorphisis" of SS to A/FX to roadster. Cecil Yother says he still has the car,, I'd like to see it and photograph it if I can. Hopefully, I'll run into Cecil next month when the swap meet season kicks off up here. See Hemi Moose's post # 81.

Re: The Factory Experimental Cars
 

That dart is pretty neat!

Re: The Factory Experimental Cars
 

Here's the story on the Dart directly from Mr. Paul Candies:

"Woody Car that Chrysler designed (piece of sh-t) until we took the leaf springs with traction bars off.

RAMCHARGERS/ GOLDEN COMMANDO each had one.
Almost went broke trying to make this thing work; went straight every run (straight left/straight right/straight up) but seldom straight down the race track.
After we copied the Logghe suspension it was ok."

Pretty cool...........

See you at the races,

Re: The Factory Experimental Cars
 

What do you guys think about the modern day awb cars

Re: The Factory Experimental Cars
 

I think they are a very cool addition to the world of hotrodding. There are a limited number of people that actually know anything bout the era when these cars were originally built & the class of racing that evolved from them. I believe they are a great education for future generations of drag racing fans.

liteweight

ps: plus-------- they're just plain badazz freakin awesome

Re: The Factory Experimental Cars
 

I had young people looking at the car and they were asking questions ,and then some people had not seen an awb car in the flesh since 1967. I took my car out to 6 races and everywhere I went it was the same thing it was so cool to see people get excited about a period in drag racing that was so short lived.
