Another new toy !! Newbomb Turk's 1956 Pie Wagon
This 1956 Chevrolet sedan delivery was mildly hot rodded in the 1970's, with a 327 and automatic transmission, and painted orange. It was placed for sale in the front yard, and purchased by Columbia Pictures in 1979 for an upcoming movie, "Hollywood Knights". Graphics were added to the side panels, and rear door hatch, transforming into the main character's car, Newbomb Turk's Pie Wagon, featuring Robert Wuhl. After the filming was completed, selected movie theater owners were entered in a raffle, and the winner won this vehicle, residing in the Massachusets area. After 15 years, the car was sold locally to a "Chevy" parts guru. He removed the body, cleaning / sand blasting the frame, rebuilding the suspension, and transplanting in a new crate 350 with a muncie 4 speed. The exterior of the car, and interior of the car was left in the same condition that it has when it appeared in the movie. Great car.

Cobra A arm?
Some news! When I bought the car it came with two sets of front A arms. I've attached a photo of both. We think the larger set is from the Cobra that "donated" the rear end, brakes, and suspension. Can anyone verify that the large arm is from a Cobra?

Coach built car!
More progress. These show how much wood is in the frame of the body. Fortunately, most of it is in good condition and not rotten.

Fast Furious ‘cuda
This 1973 ‘Cuda was used in the movie Fast Furious 7, as Letty’s main car. Of the several ‘cuda’s used for filming, this was the “hero” car. It’s pretty much a stock 340 4 speed, made up like an AAR ‘Cuda. It has a fiberglass lift off hood, custom wheels similar to the ?1969 Kelsey Hayes wheels. The leaf spring 8 3/4 rear was swapped for a 4 link coil over shock suspension, with a narrowed Ford 9”, with disc brakes.
