Customs 1965 Dodge Coronet A990 Hemi clone project

My father-in-Law is putting together a 65 Hemi Coronet and I figured I'd share it with you all.....

 

...and the shit-storm raineth down....

 

Thats going to be a Bad Ass A-990 when its done..keep us updated..I love it!

 

nice old mopar u got there..........

 

solid body to start with A-990 are great cars,i own a real 1965 Plymouth Belvedere A-990

 

Very Nice!!!

 

I love the way you widend the tubes and left the factory apperance to the trunk.
do you have the A-1 seat ?

 

why's that, is there something we don't know? if it's the 64 and earlier 'cut-off', that applies in the classifieds. the main page is a little more lenient...

(awesome project btw!)

 

Looking great, i love the 65.

 

He's going to run the A990 front seats-

 

Sweet!
Keep us updated.

 

I too, own a A 990 car, an orig, unmolested W051 Dodge, shipped from Lynch Road on 6 Mar 65 to S L Savage in Seattle. Have owned since 74, A friend of mine in Anchorage AK bought it new so I know the history of the car. Its body in white. Here is a current pic taken about a week ago. Still with the 1974 logos from the last time it was raced, Memorial day 74. Dave

 

Great car! Keep us updated. That is one of my favorite cars of all time.

 

Working on trying to get me a clone 64 or 65 A-990 next.

 

If you need trim repair, grill straightened or conversion of grill to single headlights look up Bill's Special T's in Prospect Heights Illinois. My friends father has been in early B-body stuff for years and does work for well known Mopar resto shops.

 

Fuck yes Cool

 

Thats really good to know..

 

I believe he meant "A-100 seats" and to my recollection, that is what was used. My brother has an unmolested 65 Plymouth A-990 that he has owned since 1966 when he returned from Viet Nam.

You're absolutely correct. That must have been one of my crack pipe induced moments..LOL Yea, they're the Dodge A100 van seats-

 

Very cool - please keep us posted on your progress.

Can't wait to see and hear the video of the first fire.

 

Nice car DaveyDuce-


On this car there's a lot of small things that were done that will probably be missed unless you know what you're looking for. The radiator support around the opening was widened some to allow more air to pass thru to the radiator itself. Also the tie in under the car is pretty slick too using some hat channel fitted in there along with strengthened spring pockets due to the spring location being narrower than stock.

 

I forgot to say earlier that it will also be fuel infected. Most everything will be hidden so it'll be a little harder to tell that it's not carbureted. Uber stealth-----

 

Oh man,, thats so Bad Ass...

 

Holy hidden fuel delivery batman! You should run carbs and have the trickest hidden nitrous assembly known to man. I like the fact that you are looking OEM and putting some modern touches on it. I think that is the essence of hot rodding and you are doing an outstanding job.

 

I'm very curious as to what effect the fuel injection will have with the cross-ram at lower RPMs. Should make a supposedly cantankerous intake actually become "streetable". I'm also curious as to what cam you'll be running with the F.I.? That is one cool setup,gotta see the progress on the car-you are now obligated to provide updates,with pics,of course

 

Mid sixties Mopar hemi cars give me a boner......

 

Looks great !!!

I own a 64 Plymouth , or should I say --it owns me

 

I'd rock that.....

 

very nice and an enjoyable thread...despite what the HAMB police think...Phewy
