Thx Brad! Man, that thing is sweet and hauls a$$, too! My first car was a '58 Dodge Crusader 2dr h/t and I WISH it'd been that fast!  :thumbsup:

Same here!  :drool:  First time I saw this car, I was just getting on the interstate from our motel going to Carlisle first thing in the morning, and this thing does a full throttle run by me, supercharger screaming . It shook the door panels in the Challenger. My buddy Darcy and I looked at each other and at the same time said " that's cool"  I had never had an interest in 50's Mopars before, but now ....they really excite me! Or the vision of the one in my head that I'd build does.... Funny I used google images to look at various years but I'm stuck on 1957!
1957 Mayfair looks pretty good too , but I like the grill and tail lights on the 57 Lancer best!

I posted a 60 Plymouth in the Craig's list deals.  That car had the biggest fins I've ever seen.
