Vintage Mopar NASCAR Photo of the Week: James Hylton’s 1965 Dodge Coronet at the 67 Daytona Firecracker 400

Posted on by

This shot of James Hylton’s 1965 Dodge Coronet is from the 1967 Daytona Firecracker 400. James was an independent back in the day and was amazingly successful considering his resources.  He finished second in points that year, losing only to Richard Petty who won 27 races that year.  James didn’t win a single race and still finished second in the points standings. James Hylton is now 79 years old and is still racing!

Also, isn’t it amazing how stock these cars were?  Compare it to what you see now.

1965 Dodge Coronet Race Car With Dodge Hauler

Posted on by

I loved the pics of Judy Stefanski’s 1964 Dodge Polara with the matching Polara wagon tow vehicle, so I started looking around for other cool Mopar car hauling combos. I love this 1965 Dodge Coronet race car on the Dodge hauler. And I have a vintage photo (from the 70s) of a ’65 Belvedere on a hauler after the jump! Via Moparts

Triple Black

Posted on by

Most people agree that triple black = black paint, black interior and black vinyl top (or black convertible top). Makes for one mean combo, especially on a Mopar. There was a great thread on this option combo on Moparts recently, with pics of some very cool Mopars like this triple black 1968 Dodge Cornonet R/T. More examples after the jump, including triple black ‘Cudas and Challengers!

Yet Another Weird Daytona Conversion

Posted on by

Ok, so we’ve seen a few odd Daytona conversions lately. There was this 1974 Dodge Charger “Daytona” on Craigslist. Then there was this 1973 Dodge Charger “Daytona” on eBay. But those were both fairly recent. This is an older conversion. It looks like they started with a 1969 Dodge Coronet or Super Bee. This one is seriously 70s funky. These pics are old and no one seems to know what happened to the car. More barn pics after the jump! Via Moparts and Scale Auto Magazine
