This Dodge Coupe was owned by the late Jim Lawler in the early 70's
it was obtained
by swapping his A Ford Bucket for it. It had originally been built
up by a Victorian rodder.
The rear mudguards had been moulded to the car and the front mudguards
had received
twin headlights and a custom grille, all work had been with lead making
it a true early custom
rod. the interior consisted of tuck & roll upholstery.The original
type side valve 6 cyl engine
had been fitted with a homemade log type twin carb manifold and headers.Sometime
during
Jim's ownership the car was involved in an accident and the front sheetmetal
was demolished.
After Jim's death the car was put in storage for a while before being
bought by Jim's younger
