[QUOTE=Paul Ceasrine;179564]Wagon Odd-Ball,
1966 Plymouth Belvedere II Station Wagon w/Hemi.
Just how many of those things were made??

As far as I can find out only two and they were NOT assembly line produced. They were what they call a "Paper Car" today. I believe Gary Ostrich had a hand in putting one or both of them together for Chrysler. There was one stick and one automatic combo built in 1966. I dont know if one was the Lee Smith M/P and Gas classed car or if he built his own as a 67 model? The combo ended up in the NHRA class guide because Chrysler said they made a bunch...lol. Not only that but the tail gate on the automatic car weighed about 600 lbs (full of lead) to make SS/FA. I heard the stick version exploded a clutch and flywheel and almost cut the car in half. The driver only recieved minor injuries. The auto version became the car called the "Lead Zephlin" I believe. Anyone else know anything other than what I have found out?
