Danny, I believe there isn't much left of the original car only a few parts off it...it seems that the 'acid dipped' body didn't hold up the test of time...I did here several years ago that someone was helping restore it.

I think when they cut the roof off that did it in

Here is another shot, this is one of my favorite factory built cars. I am getting ready to build a 65 dodge alterd wheelbase car for a buddy and he is thinking of doing it with no roof what do you all think?

Mr B, I don't know if I would personally do one of those with a the roof cut off it, sure it would look different but I think the traditional '65 A/FX Coronets look much better, but to each their own I guess...

Love this car may still be out there?

That is true,he has also talked about sitting in the middle like what you would have seen in 1966 before the flopper cars.
