This heat...

...needs a cool shot:

Something really beautiful arrived..

...today in France. Congratulations Bruno! Yes this is Mel Winter's 65 Belv, build by Mr. Mosher....Oh man this is awesome!

Plymout

I just love this shot. Hmmm, wonder why the word "Plymouth" is missing a character...

Nice shot

Phil's 65

Here's some nice shots of Phil's 65 A990 tribute. It's an absolute monster and it looks so cool with the steelies. Nice job you did there Phil!

1965 A990 clone in progress: 97%

These shots speek for themselves...My god is this awesome or what? Phil told me the car is about 97% finished right now. It looks absolutely amazing. Some little things have to be done but for now...watch out for Phil!

Someone's really happy now...

...because Bob Mosher sold his car. I'm jealous....

Euhm

Found this car for sale on www.moparts.com. I don't know what it is about this car but there's something fishy about it. Just can't put my finger on it. I like the colorcombo thought...

Vroa!

1965 A990 clone in progress: the hemi II

I don't have anything to ad to this...awesome...

1965 A990 clone in progress: the hemi

We saw Phil's car earlier on my blog and now...he has a hemi. This is so freakin' awesome. You can see the 472 elephant motor do it's job on the dyno here:

It comes with some impressive numbers too:

- 560 HP @ 5600 RPM

- 553 ft. lbs @ 5600 RPM

Can wait to see the hemi in the Belvedere...

1965 A990 Clone Project in progress

The 1965 Plymouth Belvedere I is still and will always be my favorite mopar. They are hard to find. But mr. Phil Elhardt from the SW Ohio state must be a lucky man. He own's one.

He sent me some shots of the A990 klone in the make. Yes, that's right, this baby is going for the winner circle. This is going to be a factory light weight racecar...with the hemi.

It's current powerplant was for sale and now sold to the job it was made for: racing. The motor wasn't really suitable for sunday afternoon cruisin'. Check out the specs I got from Phil:

•  .030 over 440cui wedge
  
• 12.5:1 Ross Aluminium pistons
• Eagle Aluminium H-beam rods
• Competition flat tappet camshaft with .620 lift
• 906 mopar cast iron heads (ported and polished)
• Harland Sharp 1.6 roller rockers

The new home will be a 1965 Dodge Coronet 2dr hardtop in New Jersey area where it will attend the Nostalgia Super Stock class.

Well...what goes out, must go in so...Mr. Hemi is waiting to hop in. What will it be? 426cui? 472cui or even a 528cui?

So, behind the new powerplant, there's going to be a 727 tranny and some 4.56 gears:

• 727 Torqueflite Transmission
• Cheetah manual valve body (5.0 lever)
• 10" Turbo action 3800 stall

The car itself is a story too. When Phil bought it, the odometer only stated 51,000 miles (because it was raced for 14 years). It has radio- and heater-delete and soon, there also will be dome-light delete, sunvisor-delete and coat-hook delete (will he go for rearbench delete or is this retorical?). It has drumbrakes on all four corners, just like back in the days...

I love these superstock race cars. They have nostalgia and a history. Keeps me reminding of the video somewhere earlier on my blog. I must've watched it about 1 biljon-triljon times...Ofcourse, Phil, good luck making this a project awesome and keep us posted! Thanks!

Non-understander

I think everyone who's into early b-body mopars knows this car and, there are even die-cast models made of this nice sample...but...why on earth, is this thing called a HEMICUDA in every ad?!?
