In the late 1980’s early 1990’s there was a 300K RAM Convertible in a salvage yard near the Travis Air Force Base in Northern California. Out of curiosity, anyone know whatever happened to that car? I remember the yard owner telling me the story… Apparently, some guy had purchased the car and had taken it in to a tire-brake shop to have all new brakes and tires done. The brake shop swapped the rear brake adjusters’ side to side. The man drove home and parked it in his garage and
put suitcases in the trunk for a trip to Lake Tahoe. While in the house the smelled smoke.
Of course, if you swap the adjusters… The one side, think it was the passenger side, drum got so hot it ignited the grease and undercoat. That burned up into the top well and the entire car burned up to the dashboard. Because the top was fabric the actual body damage was minimal. The engine bay was fine. Although the car had been converted, obviously by a dealer, to a single 4 BBL and the ram manifolds were gone. The headers and everything else was there. I always thought about doing that car, but it would require a lot of work. It was Blue as I remember.
