I REALLY want a Colt now....

Good luck with that! Lol, most have been re-constituted to dumpsters by now....they rotted like hell! I had two back in the seventies they were great, but the cancer got them big time! Fun as hell to drive and great gas mileage!

I think i remember my Dad saying he had one back in The day. And all the years i went to Junkyards i dont ever recall seeing one. Plenty of Abodys, even saw a Plymouth arrow but no Colts.

Back when I built mine I ended up with 3 of them at one time picked all the good stuff of the three and scrapped the rest . When I moved to AZ . found a 72 that was perfect for $900.00 passed on it , stuff out here don't rust .....

This was around 77, Dad worked in clay modeling dept at plymouth, so there was always new mopars at our house. Co-workers stopping by with something cool to check out. Dads 73 SE, gunmetal with black leather, and moms spirit of 76 colt 4 spd. Behind our house about 1/2 mile away was the ford engine test cells, once in a while one would grenade and rock the house.

Haha. Lived near a Ford engine test site. I bet that place stayed busy trying to match Hemi power

 

[barnfind]

I wonder how many were of this variety? Would have been fun to go thru their scrap metal bin.

 

[C Body Bob]

Now that's a Ford I would own.

Mark Panos doing a burnout in his Hemi Colt. Pic from 1980. He said is was a 406 inch Hemi with a 4 speed Lenco. Also said he had to add 300 pounds to make the weight break !!!! Crazy. He said this car actually drove pretty good

Talk about stuffing that in there! Looks like you'd have to pull the body brace and master to get those two plugs out

The Colt above changed hands a few time

I always liked the styling of the 70's Colts. Kinda fuselage in nature.

We used to have a guy here in OKC in the early '80s that had a '76 Colt coupe with a 440 in it. It was driven by a guy who previously got in a bad motorcycle accident at the dragstrip, and decided to run a 440 Colt after that. He was not exactly "right" after the bike wreck, and he took lots of chances normal people wouldn't. Dude was a few fries short of a Happy Meal, if you know what I mean. This Colt was insanely fast and just as unstable. It had a full roll cage and ran high 9s in the quarter. I wish I could remember his name, though. Supposedly, he went off the deep end one Saturday night after losing a grudge race, went home and killed himself. Never saw him or his car after that. His Colt had a bit of bad karma the whole time he had it, and I think no one wanted it after that.

Must. Obtain. A. Colt.

They pop up on racing junk every now & then. They are small. I bought an Arrow drag car a few years ago. I had to bolt the seat straight to the floor. Still my helmet was rubbing the roof. Didn't like that so I sold it. I'd love a Colt, but I don't know if it's going to be any better
