Shut Down King: Ronnie Sox

BangShift just posted this awesome grainy old school video from 1966. A must-see for any Mopar fan. There’s some footage of the 1966 Winternationals with Ronnie Sox. Then watch a 4-speed Hemi 1966 Plymouth Satellite go up against the best of the era: 1966 Ford Fairlane 390, 1966 Pontiac GTO 389 and 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle 396. Can you guess which wins? Video after the jump!

1965 Plymouth Belvedere I A-990 with Just 219 Miles on eBay

Of course, like any super rare, valuable car, this one has some controversy around it–specifically around the removal of the VIN tag. Seem legit? Seller claims just 219 miles on this A-990 car, which appears very complete and intact. They only made 101 of these Hemi race cars in 1965. Bidding is already over $100,000. More pics plus eBay auction text after the jump!

Demented Dart

Here’s another one from Barrett Jackson–this one from the 2012 Scottsdale auction. Price was set at $176,000 but there is no indication of whether or not it sold. Apparenlty this was the only Hemi Dart exported to Canada and it raced quite successfully as the “Demented Dart.” At some point it lost the cool blue paint scheme you see here in favor for red. You can see the pics of what it looked like at the time of auction after the jump!
