'59 Plymouth Forum

Flossie actually was faster than my Hemi GTX....But the GTX was a bone stock street car....Low 13's for the '59 and 13.7s for the X...This was before bracket racing started to become popular and class racing was the norm...The major difference from Super Stock to Stock was that Stock meant stock...Y...

This car was not a well know drag car...I built it for SS/MA in 1970....I had a brand new 4 spd, Hemi GTX at the time and it factored lousey into A/S...If it had bigger exaust tips, I swear it would have been a B Stocker...The "68s and '69s were very similar to the '70, and they were B Stockers...

This car is my beloved '59 convt. "Florentine", (aka Ole Flossie).... She was named after my mother soon after the "Christine" movie came out.. I bought her sometime in '70 and used her as a drag car...She was run in SS/MA with a 305 hp (395 Golden Commando)...I then put her back...
