I really didn't read your initial comment to say it had to be a Mopar but OK. It was Mopar powered though and was the body he used after the dick ran him his 65 Belvedere off the road.

I've got two for you. First is my photochopped "Newbird" as I've taken to calling it... Ideally it would run a twin turboed 440 and 250 at Bonneville...
The second would be a car I've been looking at for a year or so, with the idea of a 50s style custom with viper suspension and an aluminum blocked Gen III hemi...
But I'm always benchracing and building cars on paper. Call the curse of the dirt-poor gearhead

LOL it's quite badly done... I've done some research and a converision kit for a roadrunner to a superbird should fit... but I think id rather do it in steel (the nose at least) and this is one project im serious about... but of course I'd need a car first... and a garage, lift, welder, beadroller, air compresser, maybe a mill and a lathe...
Who else here would be determind to do it all themselves? Though I'd pay someone for showcar level paint...

Very nice Ross!
Bring that Imp to Carlisle and have a few days of fun with us!
It might even win a class trophy!

And it is actually riding on air right Ross?
I still like Jer's 300 wagon. I would love to have this car.

More like banging off the bump stops.
Jer's batwagon is cool!
You know.... a hydraulic rotary actuator on the end of the torsion bars and a little ingenuity and you could make that car raise and lower.

Why would I want to raise it?

To me the 30's are pure art!

Well that certainly is
I had a similar idea but using an electric worm gear and sprocket... I've got a couple ideas about a torsion bar rear suspension for a c-body too but I'm no engineer lol
Sticking to Commando1's criteria, I would not change the styling of anything, because I like what Chrysler Corporation put out.
On the engineering side, I'd go with the 426 Hemi in the 300 Hurst and Sport Fury GT. I understand that Chrysler Corp was considering the Hemi as part of these packages but shied away due to cost.
