Default Re: A Bunch of cool old cars...

Okay, I went ahead and called about the Mopars. Excuse my ignorance here...I'll do the best I can at relaying what he told me. There were two of them...

1)1968 Dodge Dart Factory Hemi Super Stock. Purchased new from Mattic Dodge who is still in business. Documentation all intact and also documented by Galen Govier. This car was never campaigned.

2)1965 Dodge Coronet Factory Hemi Light Weight. Sold by an LA dealer. Some of the drivers he named were Jimmy Clark, Doc Conroy, Tim DeFrank. Car was named Hemi Express. Retired in 1967.

Both cars are heavily documented real deal cars. He said it was believed there were only around 50 of them made. I didn't get any photos of them, but they were both in nice condition, not beat or dented up. I remember my friend that took me there was freaking out about all the correct nuts and bolts and stuff.

While I was visiting with the owner on the phone, he also mentioned a 70 Challenger he has. Documented and he said it was one of 13. I asked what made it that, and he said an Alligator top. Said it was on the fender tag. I never saw that car.

The guy has some really unusual and cool cars. Nearly all are documented and most are low mile and/or survivors. If you guys that were asking about the lightweight/superstock cars are interested, let me know and I am happy to put you in touch with the owner. He's a great guy and loves to talk about his cars. He is not actively trying to sell them but he's not living in the past either, he knows what they are worth. I didn't get fire sale pricing on the Chevelle I bought, but then where was I going to find another??? Truth be known...I would have paid more!
