Cool b-body pictures

That 66 Hemi Charger is such a sleeper

Haha I know eh? With those skinny little tires on there.

Another sleeper is the 68 Coronet, 9th picture from the top of my post.. 440 6bbl.

My second car was a 68 Charger in triple black............

I see 2 black Chargers in those pics.......MAN it takes me back.......Those things look sinister! :HappyNewYear:

Doc, you're right; Black Chargers are sinister looking...they probably make every Steve McQueen-wannabe running around in a green '68 Mustang GT fastback crap their pants...:rolling:

The white Runner with the blue painted top is totally cool!

Kinda fond of that A12 RR too for some reason...

:grin:

Here are some from car shows I've been to, and the drags.

Mike, were the '68 GTX verts "real deal cars"? Do you know the owners of them?

 

[GTXperience]

hey don't those "condoms" fill up with fumes from the fuel system venting on pre-evap system cars? how does THAT work? :confused:

I have one of the Car Capsules (here's my review on them). It's a great idea but is sometimes a PITA. When the bottom section is layed out, you "carefully" have to roll up on it (making sure to somewhat center your car). Then, you have to pull the upper/side covering over it and it zips to the base. There is a fan in the rear with a dust hat that pumps air into the capsule to inflate it and circulate air at x amount of times/hr. The fan is a low consumption piece so it doesn't cost a lot to run.

The interesting thing about the pic is that it shows it being used with a car cover which the mnfr recommends not doing (but I do as well). They also recommend leaving the windows cracked open about 2"-3" so that the flowing air can circulate and reducing the chances of condensation build up. Where I live, I use a lightweight cover with the windows slightly open. At first, it would drive me insane trying to get the upper/side parts of the Capsule pulled over the car cover without dragging it along but soon figured out that if I wanted to use a cover as well, the best thing to do was to let the capsule fill up, quickly unzip a corner and dive in and adjust the cover. It's almost 6' tall in there so I could almost stand up and make my way around it.

The only big downside to the Capsule (to me) was that if you have any type of fluids coming out of the bottom of your vehicle, you need a lot of room to swing the top/side of the Capsule over so that it doesn't come in contact with it. Otherwise, you will be dragging those fluids over the top/sides of your vehicle when you place it back in. It's either that or you clean the base thoroughly each time you take it out (or I guess, fix whatever is leaking). Overall, it works well (especially if I know the vehicle is going to be sitting for awhile). BTW: They also have outdoor models with UV protectant material.

This is from 07. I love the capsule, but I'm very limited for room in the garage. I have the 20' capsule and it's a little big for my two car garage. I have to roll up the end in order to be able to get around it at all. I put the cover on because the car get dust on it otherwise. The air circulating inside really does seem to keep the moisture out. It's a total pain in the *** to put away especially in my limited space. Once it's way I don't even think about it till spring. It would be great if you have a barn where room is not a consideration.

kid, I didn't put two & two together until now and realized that was your setup. So ... I know you can relate to the pros/cons of using the Capsule.

Ya, it is a nice Runner, its a bench seat column shift, 383 car, now with a 440.

As for the A12 RR, the guy claims its 1 of 2 known to exist. I'm not sure what he's on about, if someone has any idea please explain.

I believe the red one is, I'm not entirely sure about the white one though. And I don't know the owners personally, but I've seen them around.

Can't imagine where the 1 of 2 comes from on the A12 RR.
Here is what is known as far as RR's go.
It appears to be an R4 car which there are 20 known coupes.
12 4spds and 8 autos.
If it is an R6 car that is different. There is only one 4spd R6 RR known, but the onw in the photo really looks like R4?

There are 30 R4 RR hardtops known.

As I've stated before there are no factory color breakdowns for A12's. So anything beyond the cars that are known is pure speculation.

I'm guessing the A12 car is real? I've never seen a detailed show boared made up for a clone?

No no, I was referring to the two GTX convertibles I posted, GTXperience was asking me about them.

Oh. I'm pretty one dimensional!

Something different

I saw this at Musclepalooza, Lebanon Valley Speedway N.Y.
It was built with a '68 Coronet.

 

[A383Wing]

Interesting....any more pics of the Daytona made from 68 Coronet?
