Thanks, Lou! What a cool and historically important car. The owner, James, undoubtedly knows there is a great book called "We Were the Ramchargers: Inside Drag Racing's Legendary Team" by David G. Rockwell that details the tiny band of Chrysler employees who became one of the most successful and influential drag racing teams of all time. I just got it on loan from a friend and it is fascinating reading.

Goodday Lou, What a great family affair, the real deal, what a time to be alive in America & that speech by James regarding America whilst driving summond it up. America at its finest. Lou the fact that 1965 was a one year only that these A990 Special's were factory fitting with Aluminium Heads to save weight. I only wished that Chrysler offered the Aluminium Hemi Head as a option like Chevrolet did with the L89 but it was never to be. Fantastic video Lou, absolutely watching MCACN through your eyes. Cheers Louis Kats your number 1 Fan in Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 🇺🇸 👍

What a striking, and rare, 1965 Dodge Coronet A990 model of only 101 that were manufactured! That fiery red color looks great, and shines as much as its chrome parts. A simple interior but with nice touches, like the chrome-trimmed instruments, or that elegant double-ring steering wheel (obviously everything is designed to save weight). That engine compartment looked like a mirror, as much as its exterior. Since the exhaust pipe is inclined downwards, when he accelerated it seemed like he was going to break the floor! ha ha. Mr. Makris mentioned well that this is American history and innovation. I'm sure his late father's spirit is with them... Great video, and story, Lou!

As always, Lou, another one of your great videos. I am hoping to see you at MCACN today to say hello. Btw, there is a beautiful B5 Blue Duster that has a massive blown engine in it. I spoke to the guy. He said his dad was the original owner and it came from the factory with a 225 slant six motor. This is a serious muscle machine. Maybe you could feature it on your channel! All the best!

I’m trying imagine a car salesman back in 1965 listening the these men talk about the car like cigar aficionados or Sommeliers, describing this it. They would have been like, “Yep she’s a runner!” Completely bewildered by the dialogue of course, only interested in the sale. What a fun car it must have been to own back then, obviously now, it’s more of a conversation piece than the latter.
