Hot Rods Any Altered Wheelbase Mopar Fans?

Are there any fans of the 65 A/FX Mopars in here?Any one have photos they'd care to share?

 

I love them but dont have any photos handy. Building one is on my to do list too! You got one?

 

I'm an AWB "anything" fan. Except of course Steve Magnantes 78 Ford Fairmont. No shit, he did it. With an axle under it

 

even had a cammer in it.....well not quite a 427....4.6.... theres a local guy about 30 minutes from that has a awb 65 dodge.....real rough from what i've been told....send pics if you have them.....brandon

 

yeah i'm with groucho, awb is way cool. lets see some pics

 

Yeah I'm working on a 65 Belvedere 2 door sedan.

 

I like the 2 models! I'm a builder myself.I'm also good friends with the guy that owns Landy's 64 Dodge.

 

These photos were taken at Muckenthaller car show in Orange County, CA. in 2005. '22

 

Groucho, I remember seeing somewhere that you have a altered wheelbase 50 something Ford.
Photos anywhere?? Thanks, '22

 

Love them beasts. Hope to get the '64 twisted that way in the future.

 

Thanks, Groucho. That is bad ass, love it. '22

 

Here's a few shot's I took at the Walter P Chrysler Museum, first weekend in June. Annual show sponsored by the Chrysler Employee Motorsports Assn (yes, there are a few gearheads left). Special feature this year were the AFX cars. As far as I know, all of these are the real deal.

Enjoy.

 

Great photos thanks!

 

THAT'S the kind of stuff that dominated my 1st Hot Rod magazines. It's etched in my brain as thee best era for drag racing. Gassers, A/FX, early funny cars, FED's, Fuel Altereds

 

Groucho, I agree.

Unfortunately, I'm not old enought to have experienced it first hand. The ingenuity and creativity are incredible, along with the excitement added by a certain level of disregard for one's own safety.

Modern drags are too boring and too corporate. The action might be ok in the pro-heads-up ranks, but brackets and indexes are a snooz. And everything looks like it came out of the same catalog.

 

The 2 Dodge A/FXer's And the Lee Smith Plymouth A/FX are 3 of the 12 Factory Built cars.The Other Plymouth,I'm trying to get confirmation if it's the Golden Commandos A/FX.

 

A local guy here runs the altered wheelbase 64 Plymouth "Jayhawker" as an exhibition car.

 

I believe that is the Golden Commandos A/FX. I talked to the owner of the black survivor sitting at the end of the row earlier that week. He mentioned it would be at the show along with the original engine.

 

It is, I asked a buddy of mine who's an expert on all things mopar race car related.He confirmed that it is.

 

I took these in 2005 at the Cruisin' For a Cure show in Orange County, CA. Picture quality on the vid isn't very good, but it sure sounds bitchin'!

THAT'S the fucking shit, right there. [quote=Wisenheimer;2067828]Here is an altered wheelbase C/A Valiant known as The Spy Machine which was from West Vancouver and use to run at the old Mission Raceways and over at Van Isle Dragstrip on Vancouver Island. The car started out as a 4dr but was made to a 2 dr with an altered wheel base.[/quote]

 

i remember that spy machine racing then sitting in a car port years later maybe still there???

 

I have some pics

I cheated a little with the Valiant ..its just a cool shot !

 

Thanks for the photos so far guys!If I had a clue about this computer crap I'd post a photo of the one I'm building.

 

We've seen that Valiant in action. That's one bad ass hot rod.

 

a couple for big dad......valiants , gotta love em.... brandon

 

I believe the topless Valiant is top fuel tuner extrodonair Dale Armstrong.
