Throughout the 60’s and 70’s we got to witness a slew of drag racers that left an impression on us all. There was Gene “The Snowman” Snow, Don “Big Daddy” Garlits, “Jungle Jim” Liberman, Ed “The Ace” McCulloch, and of course who can forget the Snake and Mongoose pairing that will live on forever?  There are so many to list that it could go on forever.

Along with all this nostaligia, there are also a lot of other infamous cars that raced in the ’70’s that maybe didn’t get the television coverage or popularity of the aforementioned racers, but in their own right they were quite popular and had a following.

One of those racers was Butch Leal, who piloted several flavors of the California Flash, among other cars that he raced at the time.

Starting with the General and moving on to Ford, including racing a Thunderbolt, Leal ended up racing a few Mopars and the example here is one of those cars: a 1967 WO Dodge Coronet. That car is now available (again) and the asking price is a pocket-change $395,000.

Back in those days, the Mopars were a true drive on Sunday, sell on Monday example, and with the introduction of the famed Street HEMI in 1966, there weren’t many other engines that had the same appeal as a huge elephant motor with a pair of four-barrel carbs. So this car is definitely up there on the cool scale and with a certified past and authentication from Leal himself, it begs the question: is nostalgia really worth nearly $400k?

We’ve seen the car up for sale over a year ago with the same asking price. Did it sell? We don’t know, but the eBay ad boasts that the car has never been tubbed, cut, and no cage. With only 55 being built, will it be worth that much to anyone but the seller?
