Hard to believe that this was an all-conquering racecar in stock car racing back in its day. (Well, it got some help from Nascar's Hemi Mopar ban)

#1, Yep... Light? No. Nimble? No. Aerodynamic? No.

#4, That looks like a '66 Galaxie in the second picture, but I guess rebodying the same chassis was common after wrecks. Interestingly... I was looking up drag coefficients earlier. 1965 Galaxie: .53 cd (stock) ~ 175 mph top speed (NASCAR version) 1969 Charger Daytona: .28 cd ~ 200 mph Bugatti Veyron: .41 cd in normal mode / .36 cd in top speed mode ~ 253 mph Aerodynamics are useful, but never underestimate the combination of courage and POWAAAAA. :P

#6, I read a story last night about a team rebodying a secondhand '66 Galaxie stock car as a '71 Torino in 1973 after the original body became too damaged (and too old) to use. So who knows?

#7, I know that, back in the '80s, a 1981 car could be continuously rebodied up until the mid '90s...
