I LOVE this car! But then I'm prejudice, since my first car, back in '64, was a '61 Belvedere 2-door post. It was white w/blue interior, had a 361, 3-speed column shift, and, I believe, a 3.55 Sure-Grip. A friend had a '58 Fury with the 350 / 2-4 intake, which I traded him for my 4 bbl setup. Seems like I stayed in trouble with the law a lot back then. I later owned a couple of '65 383 Belvederes, one automatic, one 4-speed. I drifted away from the Mopar camp, but still have a lot of fond memories of my '61 Belvedere. Unfortunately, the few pictures of it did not survive, so I'll have to keep looking at Fugly, and wonder "What if?". I've followed you from time to time from the early construction photos to the final product. Wish I could have made it to Bowling Green- maybe next time.
