Where was I?

I had a chance to buy that car for $25,000 back in 1986. I kidded with my wife at that time, telling her that she could use it for grocery shopping. Well she did not think much of the idea.
Most information on the car listed it as a 1966 model.

Im sorry but thats silly. At least put some wheels & tires on it...

 

[Capt46]

66 would be correct looking at the details

Some here are showing thier age.... Or should I say Youth... Lol

That was an iconic car back in the day.

I think it looks great!

 

[mbaird]

Is that a Ghia badge on lower pass fender?

 

[4spdragtop]

Original engine from movie?

 

[Capt46]

Lol that was just a throw in on the engine, wouldn't that be a hell raiser with a HEMI

 

[4spdragtop]

What engine did they use for the movie?

My friend who owned and restored the car back in the 80's said that it had a 273 in it. Some car books of the day claimed that it had a Hemi, but that was not true. I have pictures of the car that I took back in Sept. 1986 when it was in Rochester, NY at a NeHOA meet. The pictures I think are on slides, but if I find some prints, I will scan them and post them here. It was for sale at the meet that weekend, as I said before for a mere $25,000

You can make prints from slides, in fact...if the slides are Kodachrome, they make the best prints you can get.

LOL.
Sorry I cant see em.

 

[Darter6]

I'm sure I'm wrong, but was it found behind a Garage/Gas Station sitting in dis-array ? Or was that Corky's Cuda ?

It's powered by a Commando 273. The badge that looks like a Ghia badge is actually a Barris Customs badge.
