I am very slowly building a base sedan for either DA or EA. I'll get it done eventually.

Mine was supposed to be an executive lease car in Cleveland, but it is a very late build (July, 1966). As I was told by the original owner (a Dodge dealer in Eastern Ohio), the car sat in Cleveland for a few weeks and no one touched it. Presumably because the '67's were coming out and no one wanted the base model from the year before. He bought it at the Dodge Dealer's auction with 11 miles on it, and gave it to his wife to drive for a month to season the block. After that he put a 4-speed in the car along with a 4.56 Dana, and it has been a race car ever since.

Paint was done around 1974-75. Car was last raced in Formula Stock around 1980-81, therefore the snorkel scoop.

A friend of mine has one of the 4 speed cars. EE1 with light blue interior. Car had King HEMI written on the sides. I have been trying to find a back in the day picture of it for years, with no luck.
