I have been racing the '65 all year and it runs great with no problems at all. The best it has gone is 10.72 ET at 127MPH: not bad for a good old B body.

This car is now for sale also. (Editor's note: The car was sold in November, 2000; the new owner plans to put a 426 Hemi between the front fenders!)

Thanks, Don!
The Plymouth looks pretty fast and mean just sitting there!
Great color for it, too! :-)
Your daughter took some cool snapshots, thanks!
RE: Update: sound like the car goes pretty good!
Sounds like the new owner will keep it terrorizing the competition. :-)
