1965 Mopar Altered Wheelbase Cars


Recommended Posts

I have complied a list of what I believe was the original altered wheelbase cars from Chrysler. Does anybody know if decals are availible for all of them? Anybody have any to add, I'm really looking for the original Altered cars but, we could add the others that where altered at a later date.

Dodge Hardtop Altered

Color Me Gone - Greg's Decals, maybe some Lindberg kit decals could be used

Mr. Norms (Red.Silver Car) - Whoppie Kat Decals

Mr. Norms (2 Tone Blue Car) - Fred Cady Decals

Just ordered and read the following booklet. Great read for anyone interested in the AWB Mopars.

41Gem-1QbLL_zps3f74ffef.jpg

According to what is written in this book, there were 12 factory AWB cars - 6 Dodges, 6 Plymouths.

Breakdown as follows

Dodge

Ramchargers - Was sold to Harrop to replace his wrecked car in 1966 - Could use Lindberg 1964 decals I guess and piece something together

Dick Landy - Has been Restored - Slixx Decals has decals for car

Bud Faubel "The Honker" - Has been Restored - Quarter Mile Legends did decals for car

Dave Strickler - Has been Restored - Fred Cady has decals for car

Roger Lindamood "Color Me Gone" - Transfered to Mr Norm for his AWB - Could use Lindberg 1964 decals I guess and piece something together

Bob Harrop "Flying Carpet" - Wrecked in early 1966 - Found decals on EBAY not sure you did them originally

Plymouth

Sox and Martin - Has been Destroyed- Slixx Decals has decals for car

Golden Commandos Mule Car - Sent back to Detriot for testing for remainder of 1965 - ?????????

Golden Commandos #2 - Has been Restored - Fred Cady has decals for car

Lee Smith "Learner's Sales & Service" - Has been Restored - ?????????????? - Greg's Decals has a listing for car but they do not look accurate to me colors look wrong

Butch Leal "California Flash" - Was sold to Mr. Norm then wrecked and parted out- Fred Cady has decals for car

Cecil Yother "Melrose Missile" - Yother claims he has remains of car after chopping roof off - Whoppie Kat has decals for car

And some count Bill Flynn "Yankee Peddler" Sedan as the 13th Factory AWB. The good Stuff made decals for car
