1965 Dodge Coronet AFX Tribute Car. This Bad Coronet was built to replicate the Altered wheelbase cars built by Chrysler Corporation to compete in the 1965 NHRA and AHRA "A" Factory Experimental class. These 1/4 killers were the first "Funny Cars," and actually were the name came from. It exploded from there and by 1966 all the big teams had full glass bodies and Logghe Tube Chassis. This car started from a rust free Coronet 2 door Hardtop. It was built the same way the factory cars were constructed, but to show quality standards with the intention of being a street car. The wheelbase was altered by moving the front wheels 10" forward and the rear 15" achieving optimal weight transfer. All metalwork was professionally done. Amazing body gaps and fitment throughout.
