Here's the pic. It's a 1965 Belvedere. It has a built 440 in it, and out back it has been mini tubbed and has about 12" of tire under each side.

He just got it to the point where it is completely driveable, had to spend $500 for a custom radiator as no one is really offering anything for his car. It is a odd year for these cars.

Yep, gotta have wings and a tail. Better start scratch-building old chap, and of course the colour scheme has to be camouflage..........

Well watch this video. Here's one German who doesn't seem to need wings to get HIS car airborne.


YouTube - Auto fliegt ins Kirchendach! (Car flies into Church Roof!)

Audio is in German but the pictures speak for themselves.
