    Now, if you could just "donate" one of those old bodies I'd have to seriously consider some nostalgia racing...... They were double kewl. Not as sleek and aerodynamic as the new stuff, but I think they are great!!!

    I remember a pic and article in a mag many years ago where some guy turned a flopper into a street car!!! Just be tough to get the crew to follow you around and let you out when you stop!!!! I don't think the old ones had top hatches, did they?

    i think that is where al vanderwoude was ahead of his time when building his cars, here is 1971 charger 3, and it has a hatch, maybe that is what he came up with after his 66 dart without a roof.

    It doesn't appear to much of technological advances. But to the trained eye, there were huge forward movements in those days. That last pic you posted with the Dodge, major body changes, Fuel tank mounting and design, etc. Thanks for the melancholy trip down memory lane Moon.
    What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?
