I have gone on at length about the Nash-Healy design and build process before so I’m not going to rehash it again and bore you. Just go look at the pictures of this car and take in the Italian styling language of the early 50s. The design is certainly a product of its time but the details and proportions are timeless.
The Chrysler letter cars moved to a unit-body chassis/body design in 1960. The cars retained their RB engines with short and long ram versions. 1960-61 Chryslers have the most interesting instrument clusters in automotive history. This example is painted in one of the most unique colors available that year, ZZ1 Terra Cotta. It also features a long ram 413 (the runner separation seam runs the length of each intake port. This should be a strong showing. I can’t wait to see what this auction brings.
I don’t really go in for the pro-street style build as they tend to be cartoonish and prone to self-destruction. This Demon is a completely new take on the street drag car theme. Twin turbos keep the hood flat and the wheels and paintwork are reminiscent of the drag racing era just before pro-street became fashionable. On top of looking the business, this thing is really fast. The car was listed for sale on Craigslist at a reasonable price and sold quickly.
