possible found 65 afx car

[jimi]

this is a good one for moose and paul, i had i friend call me today to tell me he bought a 55 thunderbird from a lady in putnam county she has 12 more cars some chevrolets and some mopars , the one he called me about is a white 65 belvedere awb car and it had the number "666" on the side or some where on the car. anyone remember any 65 a990's or awb's with some reference to the # he has told me about? this womans husband was a collector and all of these cars are in need of restoration, hopefully in the next few days i can get to her house to see the cars myself.

Some of Jenkins early Mopars had 666 on the rear quarters.
His early Camaro's were 777.

And on one, a combination of both.

Hey Jimi...you "know" the advertising about calling your doctor...if you have a "issue" after 4 hours...keep your cell phone handy...the "Black Arrow" was purchased by the Smrtic family from Doc...re-named and raced as "Storm King"...all...is very well documented on the www.doverdragstrip.com website...(Doc's and their (Smrtics') home track...there are no people on the planet more honest than Bill & Gary Smrtic...they easily could have re-created this car...many times for personal ($$$) gain...their integrity...just wouldn't allow it 'eh...you can contact Bill via e-mail...wssmrtic@yahoo.com...for any question (s) you might have...I hope indeed that is a good hemi car (you've been contacted about)...and you can make lots of $$$...but the original "Black Arrow"...it ain't "hoss"....Dave Parent of Mahopac (Putnam County) had a original 65 hemi car...which he purchased brand new from Coppola Motors of Fairfield,CT...last I "knew" he still had car (5-6 years ago)...it was beige...and he still was living... he also had a good collection of cars...but his car...had absolutely no race "history" at all...never saw dragstrip...best of luck...hope it all "works"....Drake Viscome

Here's a nice clone of the original '65 Black Arrow A990 Plymouth...

No one ever expected these cars to live forever. Nothing wrong with a period correct clone AS LONG AS IT IS DISCLOSED as a clone.
Reproducing one would be a major and expensive undertaking.
Restoring or cloning,.
if you're going to do it, do it correctly.

The only car from that era I remember with the number 666 on it is Bill Jenkins' A/S 1966 Chevy II.

i was always under the assumption that the jenkins/burgess car after it was changed to an awb car was so bad that it needed to be re bodied, i spoke with someone this past year at carlisle that said he owns the rebodied car , could this be the original car? it is in pawling not to far from where burgess lived. my friend said it had a 666 on the side of the car. im not going to sleep for days now untill i see it for my self.
