A990 Super Stockers

[John Mason]

There was a guy named Frank Johanson in New Jersey who had 2 Mopars in the mid 60's, both black, a Max wedge and a hemi, both called Huckleberry Hound. He sold them both to 1 person but I don't know who that was. He then bought a 69 COPO 427 Camaro for SS/DA, ran it for a few years and sold it. Here's a pic of the Camaro.

Looks like that lead panned out then, so how did you positively identify it as being the car...nice looking '65 A990 Coronet, is it a auto or stick.

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.
