Here is a picture of my dads colt he build in the 80s. A guy built the chassis with him and then put the body on it. It has a 383, push button 727, 8.75 with 4.56 and dual calipers on rear with home made brackets and late 70s Chrysler caliper set up.

I am all for big motor small car but that short wheelbase is spooky, that's requires steel testicles. 30 years ago I would have jumped in with both feet today not so much.

 

[C Body Bob]

LoL. Yes me too. I'll take mine with a 340. That way you can still drive it on the trailer after the race

There is something alluring about making a pass in a car like that and pulling in the pit and not being able to jump right out because of shaking and "needing a moment" lol

 

[C Body Bob]

Thats for sure. They're still some racing today in sportsman classes. The chassis are better & the have a big flat trunk mounted spoiler

Interesting photo. This is Stuart Pomroys Hemi Colt. On the window it says Seymore Guntz & on the door it's Nelson des Champs. Stuart liked using aliases instead of his real name. Not sure why.
