A990 Super Stockers

[Paul Ceasrine]

Ain't she pretty,

(April 1965)
1965 Plymouth S/SA.



Not all 'tartered up',,,,,,

Very trick suspension on this car,,,,
Most of the Super Stock Mopars back then,,,,,,,
When leaving the line, first the back-end lifted, then it launched off the line,,,

But the Black Arrow,,,,,was pre-loaded,,,,,,the back-end never lifted,
it just launched,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Who said that Sox & Martin didn't also have a 65' A-990 S/S Plymouth
Belvedere,,,,,,,

This went along with the 65' 2% AWB #2700 lb Hardtop car,,,,

Paul
Sox & Martin later altered the wheel base on this car like the hard top.
This car was sold to Buckeye Philips from Baltimore around the same time he had purchased the hard top. Buck later sold the second car to John Rayford also from the Batto. aera . Some one told me it showed up at Henderson last year. Buck also bought their altered 66 Cuda. Do you have any pictures of that car, as it almost never shows up in any posts.

There is an incredible Altered Wheelbase Picture Thread going on over at the Jalopy Journal for those of you who are interested in AF/X cars of all makes and models. Lets try to keep this topic on track wit the history of Chyrsler's 1965 A990 Super Stock fleet.

Here's a few more old shots of the 'Black Arrow' '65 A990 Plymouth...

340 Cuda. The Gruber and Kassie 63 Ply was an alum. sedan that was all white with red stripes on the hood and roof. It also had Keystone wheels all around. I can not remember for sure but I think it said The All American down the side. It has been the late 60's and I can not remember for sure on the name.

Hope this Helps
