This is a different car than the one I posted about on pp. 15-16 of this thread.

Jared, great shots of the old '65 A990 Plymouth Belvedere "Hemi Countdown"...nice saying on the trunk too.

This went along with the 65' 2% AWB #2700 lb Hardtop car,,,,

Paul
Sox & Martin later altered the wheel base on this car like the hard top.
This car was sold to Buckeye Philips from Baltimore around the same time he had purchased the hard top. Buck later sold the second car to John Rayford also from the Batto. aera . Some one told me it showed up at Henderson last year. Buck also bought their altered 66 Cuda. Do you have any pictures of that car, as it almost never shows up in any posts.

There is an incredible Altered Wheelbase Picture Thread going on over at the Jalopy Journal for those of you who are interested in AF/X cars of all makes and models. Lets try to keep this topic on track wit the history of Chyrsler's 1965 A990 Super Stock fleet.

Hi guy's, the car was a Mr Norms $3950 special, sold by the high performance king himself. Norm B was the second owner around 1978. The car was repainted around that time. It apparently was campained by the original owner with blue stripes although I have no photo's of this. I can see a touch of dark blue under the front gaurd wheel lip and the scoop appears to have been blue as well. It was quite a story of the cars history, I suppose this is what makes these cars so special.
The car has been on a journey and is now located in Australia.

It's my car Hemi Moose. It was purchased through a broker. The owner was Norm Brandes. He has owned the car for 33 years.
I can send you a photo with my dog eyeing the car with suspicion. He hadn't heard a hemi before.
There are a lot more photo's available on Show your auto website for those unaware.
