Oddball Muscle Cars

HotRod I think did a spread on a 64(5) where they continued to strip it down until they had only a bare frame running down the track.[/QUOTE]

Drooze, the Imperial was done by Mopar Action, it was a Cadillac that Hot Rod did.

blkjack,
I think the 60' Chrysler 300-F was one of the 'specials'. Called 'The Bankers Hot Rod'. A 413/400HP Wedge. A short-lived magazine 'Performance Cars' got one back in 65'/66', out of a junk-yard. Stripped it down, left on only the front fenders, hood, grille and bumper. No windshield, roof, doors, quarters or trunk deck. Can't remember what it turned, but the 'picture was worth a thousand words'!!

I seem to remember that the Mopar ACTION Imperial ended up with just enough parts left on the car (engine and drivertain, frame, wheels and tires and a seat...) to remain functional for a quarter-mile pass, and ended up running some mid-12-second e.t.'s at about 2,000 pounds... No roll bar... LOL!!! Street tires and lots of wheelspin...
