'65 Dodge Coronet

[Stevenson]

Hello!

This is my 65 Dodge Coronet, and I am lookoing for some ideas. I am thinking a 572, with a 8-71. It will be driven, and it will be a street car...I was thinking kind of a 70's look, kandies/flake sorta idea...below is another car which other than the paint this was the look I am going for. Any suggestions/ideas is greatly appreciated!!!

That's a pretty serious blower in the 2nd pic!
Good luck with the project.

I believe that blower was a BDS 8-71, its just has an intercooler which makes it a bit taller

Go for a '65-vintage NHRA/AHRA Stock-class clone.

Find a crashed Viper and swap the whole drivetrain/suspension into it. That would make both vehicles better.

Looks like a good start, good luck with it...I was thinking a Ramcharger wannabe, red and white stripped roof and the like....but some deep metallic candy blue with a 70's vibe could be cool too.....
