CORONET A/FX SUPER STOCK WAS ORIGINALLY CAMPAIGNED IN 1965 AS THE''
PENNY PINCHER'' WITH KEITH BLACK AS THE ENGINE BUILDER. SEVERAL
YEARS AFTER BEING RETIRED. HIS VEHICLE APPEARED AS A DICK LANDY

AND THE CAR WAS ACTUALLY NOT A LANDY CAR. HE HAD THE CAR RESERCHED
BY JIM KRAMER (KRAMER AUTOMOTIVE SPECIALTIES. HERMAN PA) IT WAS
DISCOVERED THAT THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED BY JC PENNY AND

EXPECTED. IT MAY BE THE ONLY ONE OF ITS TYPE IN EXISTENCE. IN 1965.
THE FACTORIES WEREN'T ALLOWED TO USE ALUMINUM BODY PARTS ON THE
CARS ANYMORE. SO THEY OFFERED THE '65' LIGHTWEIGHTS WITH
ACID-DIPPED BODY PANELS. CHRYSLER INTERPRETED THE RULES IN THEIR
OWN WAY AND THE RULES SPECIFIED NO ALUMINUM. HOWEVER. HRA DIDN'T
SAY ANYTHING ABOUT USING FIBERGLASS PANELS ON THEIR
ALTERED-WHEELBASE CARS. BUT IN ORDER TO DO THAT. THEY HAD TO OFFER
FIBERGLASS ON THE REGULAR (UNALTERED) CARS AS AN OPTION. AS IT
TURNS OUT THE FIBERGLASS WAS COMPLETED JUST BEFORE THE NHRA RULED
THAT FIBERGLASS AND ALTERED -WHEELBASE CARS WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.
