    Just thought I'd share this photo taken yesterday (12/30/10) as the sedan 1:18 AWB cars arrived, and still have some test mule hardtops.

    I put some freeway miles on my altered a few nights ago. Other cars seem to keep a distance, due to excessive exhaust noise? :D

    There's suppossed to be a '65 Plymouth AWB sedan going through the auction at Barrett-Jackson on Saturday (01/22/11). The Chuck Ostrich car as Lot #1324.2

    [​IMG]

    Any guesses what it may sell for?

    I'll guess $175,000

    I was wondering what needs to be corrected? I saw it in Ohio at the hemi reunion but guess I didn't look at it very closely.

    Great shot of Jack Sharkeys Dart, our inspiration for mine and Steve's altered wheelbase cars. Another great Dart was also the Liberty Motors "Corruptors Pup". Thanks for bringing this pic over!

    Sox and Martin car pictured is former Fred Englehart "Metro Molded Rubber" car, then sold to Roy Clark, the country music singer and run as "Super Picker", then back to wheeler/dealer Fred.
