1965 Plymouth street racer

This is a car I did a couple of weeks ago for a client who's selling the car.  I didn't take the pictures or do the write up but it's an interesting car.  Those are real magnesium wheels.   Total time, with a full polish on the paint and taking the mag wheels from grey to polished, including the engine compartment and trunk but not the under carriage - 5 hours.


 


Enjoy,

WhyteWizard- Thanks for sharing this one!  Five hours, that was quick!


 


Wonder what he'll get for it...the issues I see oughta be easy enough to fix.
 
Accumulator - I have no idea what that car will eventually go for but it is unique.   I had done that car a few years ago and then it was pretty much on display since then, just driven for exercise.  Still, it is huge and mag wheels can be tricky for those who don't know the secret handshake.  :o)

This car would seem to fall into the same category as the Chevy "COPO."  It will be interesting to see how it sells. 
 
I got nostalgic looking at this car.  It made me think of listening to WABC radio, in NYC, in the mid-60s, from central PA on a transistor radio, when I was 13-14 years old.  Cousin Brucie...he's still on Sirius/XM radio.


 


There were always ads for the "Raceway Park" dragstrip in Englishtown, NJ.  It would start with an "Alvin the Chipmunk" type voice proclaiming "Raceway Park!"  I would read about the results a couple of months later when my issue of Hot Rod magazine appeared.


 


Raceway Park is still alive.  I Googled it, and when the website comes up, I hear the same chipmunk voice.


 


How cool is that?


 


Thanks, WhyteWizard, for making my day!!


 


BTW, nice job on the Plymouth.
