Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What Kind of Car Is This?

The traditional style you're referencing, about the same time they all went away from cars that were Body-on-Frame and everything became FWD w/trans-axels.

Yes, but,. If you remember, Chrysler started using the Uni-body in the early 60s. Subframe up front which supported the engine and transmission, from there back no frame. They were pretty much all rear leaf springs In back and torsion bars up front.
Chevy used the same design on the Nova/ Chevy II and Camaro. Ford, I’m not certain what models used it, other than Falcon and Maverick, ( I’m pretty sure Mavericks had rear coil springs) I but i know all 3 did in the late 60s early 70s, until they started making front wheel drive cars in the 1980s.
Matter of fact, I have seen quite a few early/mid 50s Chevy pickups that were modified to this set up. By doing this the builder can make something with a smallblock engine with power steering and brakes, and still have the classic body look.
From the folks I have talked to, it’s a fairly easy conversion.

Going with Valiant. Kind of cool looking thing...in a very plain sort of way. I am digging the mafia trunk.

Cheese Louise, Dig those faux "Moon Disc's", he's ready for Bonneville (Boonville stylin'?)... add some "Lake Pipes" and he could'a joined the Pharaohs!... (he's not a member here so he's Fair Game IMO)

Still needs a set of fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror, and a set of curb feelers!😀
Wonder what sorta power he’s packing. Probably the old indestructible slant six. My buddy had a ‘72 Charger with a slant six, and a 360 ready to drop in. He ran that thing hundreds of miles with no oil in it!
The only way to hurt them was to run them hot. Otherwise they just kept going!😀
I can only remember selling one used slant six engine in all that time!
We had 6 or 7 of those Cordoba/Charger from the late 70s between Me, The Old Man, and my brothers. Like I said, they sold cheap and the run good. Most were 360s, but the were a couple with the 400 motor, which would scoot! I even had a 76 Road Runner with that body.

almost gotta' be a "Hillside Hemi" (aka slant 6) under the hood... icing on the cake... hey!... maybe it's a sleeper, packin' a 273 V8... Wolf in Sheeps clothing, lol...

Kinda reminds me of an early 60s Pontiac Tempest. Edk

My dad had this car in black. IIRC flat head six cylinder. Three on the tree. Ugly as home made sin. Built like a tank. Could drive to work and around town for three weeks on a single tank of gas.

I have a 1960 Rambler American 2 door station wagon sitting out behind the barn, waiting for its turn in the shop- - - -200 cubic inch flathead six, three speed with overdrive, built like a tank, and got 30 MPG on regular gas when I parked it with steering problems. I'm going to modernize the front suspension with some type of McPherson strut system and power rack & pinion steering.

ugly as mud is what it is...but most dodge/chryler/Plymouth products are.

two, maybe? three shades of blue on the side of this car, door doesn't match the fender or the 1/4... only way to fix it now is to reshoot the door & blend into the adjacent panels... see this same schit on a lot of high $$$ cars on the TV auctions... freakin' Amateurs...
