I could be wrong but I don't remember the Ramchargers running anything but B-bodies (Coronets) in the days of transition from S/S to F/X. I think they may have been the first to alter the wheelbase though when the new F/X class emerged. Thunderbolts rock too although most you see are likely to be clones. Only about 100 were ever made and I believe less than half of those are known to exist. And they were only sold as race cars so you had to be "someone" to get one. They were also a downright, scary handful to drive and so a fair number were wrecked on the strip. Hubert Platt who drove them back in the day said they were by far the scariest race car he ever drove. Quote:
I love '63 and '64 Galaxies. I had a few of both including a black Galaxie 500 XL hardtop, similar to the Galaxie 500 HT in that picture. Okay, mine didn't have a chute on the back.....or the jet engine.  |
