A 1964 Plymouth Belvedere is a cool enough car. They only made the 5th-gen cars for a few years, but you could option them with a 383 under the hood. That’s what Ray Evernham has done here… sort of.
He’s taken a ’64 Belvedere body, and dropped it on an actual NASCAR chassis. This chassis has been raced in the Daytona 500. That makes this 100% a race car that happens to be wearing street car clothes.
The engine has been detuned so it’s only producing around 780 horsepower. There’s carbon fiber all over the place, a full roll cage, racing buckets, and a few other tricks.
This is how you properly pay homage to a sport you love (Evernham has been/is a crew chief, team owner, TV commentator, etc). In the world of sleeper cars, this one sits damn near the top of the list of great ones.
[Update: This car is actually for sale right now, and the asking price is steep… but I’m not really sure what a car like this should cost. Check out the listing here at RK Motors.]
