"Mr Norm" Kraus (1934-2021) of Grand Spaulding Dodge was to the Dodge as Don Yenko was the Chevys, but he went completely cutting edge with this 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 426 Hemi altered wheelbase drag car. The AWB configuration on these mid-sixties Mopars just looked so cool and so right to me me back then. I had a '65 Plymouth Satellite "Golden Commando" back then and I kept picturing what it would look like with the same alteration. I found some of my old college notebooks and they're full of sketches of AWB Mopars. (I guess I wasn't paying much attention to the lectures. LOL)
