Plain But Potent
No PCV in 1965, hence no filler caps in valve covers. No badges either. That's the way they were. (Refer to B&W pics above.)
Look close and you'll see an original NASCAR aluminum water pump as well as an original Shelby Sidewinder intake manifold. The fuel log is original also, but should be gold cad instead of black.

FIA_Suitcase_Study1
It’s documented that (2) AC factory cars were prepared with FIA suitcase "dimples" (See Photos). The second modification was to enlarge the trunk base to allow the suitcase to fit upright (vertical) and further down into the trunk as shown. If you look closely at the photo you can see the suitcase also fit horizontal and was held in place with a “bungee cord”. You can also see the bolts protruding out the bottom of the suitcase which originally held the suitcase upright. I think this also explains why some of the FIA cars had dimples while others didn’t.
As for the actual size of the suitcase – FIA Historic Racing Championships - Appendix J. Both 1964 and 1965.
State:
“270 - Luggage trunk
A covered space being an integral part of the coachwork but outside of the space occupied by the front seats, large enough to receive a trunk of
65 cm X 40 cm X 20 cm. minimum, besides the spare wheel, tools or the folded hood, shall be provided, excluding the spare wheel, tools or removed canopy.”

1965 Dodge Coronet W051 Super Stock
An original 1965 Dodge Coronet Super Stock. Dodge produced 101 examples, as did Plymouth, for a total of 202 super stocks for 1965. This car was ordered, purchased in the Cleveland, Ohio area by Harm Friend. He campaigned this car for 5 years at numerous local tracks, one year competing in the nationals, losing in 6th round by red lighting. Harm set a national AHRA record with this car in 1969. He ran mid to high ‘11’s in the upper 120’s . He initially named this car “Man from Mopar”. He then renamed it “ N Harm’s Way” , based off of the John Wayne movie. He sold the car in 1969 with 84 original miles. Now, the car has 116 original miles.
All Dodges carried the serial number beginning with W051****. The corresponding Plymouth's had serial number R051*****. The super stock option was listed as A990, so the Dodge cars are referred to either as W051's, or A990's. In 1964, the Dodge / Plymouth Super Stocks were built with a cast iron block / head 426 cross ram hemi, and with fiberglass and aluminum body panels to lighten the cars. As Ford was also producing cars with lightweight parts, NHRA decided to make a new rule stipulating that for 1965, all super stocks had to be built with "stock" steel body panels. So Chrysler redesigned the Super Stocks for 1965, by substituting aluminum heads and water pumps on the 426 Race Hemi's, and lightening up the steel body panels by acid dipping the fenders, doors, hood, to reduce the car weight back to that of the 1964's, class minimum weight of about 3400 lbs. Truly a work of art !!!!
